The Best I Ever Had

Prosper did beyond what I expected. I got a reckless driving, speeding 35 over, and tailgating. That's 15 points! And over 600$ fines. Prosper helped me and dropped to tickets out of the equation, and the suspension on the speeding one he dropped it to 15 days rather than 30 and I only paid 180. I wo...uld recommend him to anyone. Call and have a quick chat, you won't regret it.

Great Lawyer

I was dealing with an expungement of possession and paraphernalia charges. He was very responsive and gave me a flat rate to handle of the paperwork. After we began, my license was revoked in error for non payment of a double bill by essex county probation. Not only did he fight for my case for the n...ext 2 months, he drove out of his way to visit the headquarters of the DMV to get the matter resolved. Cannot go wrong with this guy!

A loyal lawyer

Prosper Bellizia was my lawyer for my expungement he was a fantastic lawyer. He not only emailed me but would also call to inform me on the progress of things. He answered all questions, if i ever need future legal advice Prosper Bellizia would be my first choice.

Mr Prosper A Bellizia Attorney

When I first contacted Mr Bellizia I was skeptical that I would hear his opinion of my attempt to have an expungement granted to me for a mistake I made in my life many years ago. My concern was that I spoke to at least 15 other attorneys and they all told me I would not be entitled. Than one night... while on my computer I saw Mr Bellizia's website something told me to send him an e-mail and within 10 minutes my phone rang and it was him. I explained my case to him in detail. Mr Bellizia told me he would look into my request and get back to me. He also told me that while he would research my case he would only take it if he was sure I would receive an expungement. This told me that he was interested in me more than money. We started the process and Mr Bellizia explained in detail the step by step process of the expungement. Everything that he told me happened. He was very thorough in his explanations. I also felt he cared for me more than just a client. He was always available when I needed to talk to him. His expertise and law knowledge helped me receive my expungement. I will always be grateful to Mr Bellizia for his honesty and concern for me as a person not just a client. I would recommend Mr Bellizia to anyone who needs an attorney.

Excellent Lawyer and Excellent Results

I got arrested for a criminal charge. I saw other lawyers who only seemed to want my money. My brother recommended Mr. Bellizia because he had used him in the past for a reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident case. The lawyer got the leaving the scene dismissed and a no points ticket f...or the reckless. Since my case was criminal and I was looking at jail, I was a nervous wreck. Mr. Bellizia met me on a Sunday morning at his office and explained what I was facing. He told me what to expect and what not to hope for. He was very honest about the costs and explained everything in a clear, precise manner that was easy to understand. He told me to call him with any questions and he always returned my calls. In the end, my case was dismissed because I felt Mr. Bellizia did an excellent job. He knew all the people making decisions in the State's office and was able to get them to see our point of view. I would highly recommend Mr. Bellizia when the chips are down.
