Honest, reliable, and professional attorney

I have used Prosper Bellizia multiple times for various traffic tickets including speeding, and driving with a suspended license, and each and every time he has come through for me with astounding results. I am so grateful to Mr. Bellizia for his willingness to help me in the very best way he could.... He always kept me informed of what the possible consequences might be before going in to talk with the prosecutor. He always went for the best option for me and helped me out so much with my driving record. One time I had a speeding ticket that was reduced from 3 points to a non-point ticket, saving me insurance surcharges and points on my license. Another time I did lose my license for 30 days but kept driving because I had to go to work every day and got stopped on the very last day of the suspension. I thought I was going to lose it for a long time and was so scared- but Prosper went in and worked his magic and it was officially changed to a different charge, so I got to keep my license! Prosper Bellizia is so knowledgable; if I had gone in there by myself that never would have happened. My fees were also reduced. Having Prosper Bellizia as my attorney was worth it every time and I am sincerely grateful to him for helping me with my troubles. I am definitely a different kind of driver now though, as well. I am so happy Prosper was there when I needed him, but I hope I won't have to ever use any attorney ever again! :) At least I'll always know who to go to if I'm in trouble for fair and smart representation.

Best in breed !

I was facing some very serious charges , had hired a lawyer .Did some research online , googled top lawyers in New Jersey . Thats how i discovered Mr. Bellizia and let me explain to you about the world class service i recieved after firing the original guy . Prosper came to my place with a hand held ...device and said you are not within a 1000ft of a school. Do you know what kind of comfort that alone brought to me ? Those charges were dropped and the other charges were lowered to a 4th degree offense.Simply put this is the 4th lawyer ive dealt with and would never consider any other lawyer.

excellent lawyer!!

Mr Bellizia is an excellent lawyer.I hired him recently to dismiss my tickets for traffic rule violation which i never did. He is really personable and explains everything in details,unlike other attorneys who use art of jargon.He helped me getting rid of those tickets.I will highly recommend his ser...vices if someone really needs a good attorney.

Prosper Bellizia review

I highly recommend Mr. Bellizia. He handled my case with intelligence and had a thorough knowledge of the law. He had past experience with the New Jersey municipality where my case resided. I believe this made all the difference for me. Mr. Bellizia always kept me posted on my case and was very clea...r on what my legal options were.

The lawyer that defies the lawyer stigma, he is honest,ethical and 100% there for you.

Prosper Bellizia, who I found by google. I didnt do any research, I just took a chance. I have had to use him on 5 different minor DMV occassions, but as we know even minor can give points, large costs and a bad record. He has been around such a wide area and practicing for so long, not only does ...he have helpful contacts, he also uses the law to help YOU because he worked the other side of the law as a county prosecutor!!!. Im sure by talking to him he can look at the law and find a way out of something you never thought you could legally. He sure did for me. He will not take your case, if he feels you will not save you something, so in essense he will not take your money and just "represent" you like allot of lawyers out there. He is my lawyer for life.
