Great Job

Tara was professional, knowledgeable and extremely diligent in handling our case

Posted by anonymous | October 24, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Incredible Results

I had been charged with three serious crimes, two of which were second degree felonies. Tara immediately came up with a plan to follow that helped my case and had it remanded to municipal court, where she was able to get the charges reduced to a conditional dismissal and a very small fine. She kno...ws all of the angles to get you a favorable outcome no matter what you are charged with. She doesn't take no for an answer. Tara treats you as a top priority and always returns your texts/calls promptly.

Beyond Pleased

If you are ever in the unfortunate position of needing an attorney, make your mind rest a little easier by retaining Tara Breslow as your attorney. I located her online based on reviews and was pleasantly surprised that her accessibility to her client and parents of client was great. No waiting fo...r days for response..she was available through text or phone immediately or very short time later even after hours. She really works for you, knows the law and courts and got charges reduced and even dismissed! Couldn't be more pleased! Thank you for all your hard work and persistence.

Knowledgable and Persistent - A Great Advocate!

We contacted Tara when our grandson got into trouble for a poor decision he made to protect a "friend". His charges were serious, more than we initially realized. Tara has a special rapport with youthful clients and immediately connected with our grandson. Consequently, her recommendations for cou...nseling were effective in guiding his behavior. Meanwhile, she worked tirelessly to have his case remanded to a lower court. Ultimately, she negotiated a conditional dismissal of all charges given our grandson's successful completion of a probationary period. He is at heart a "good kid". She recognized this and her knowledgable and supportive handling of his case has truly given him a second chance! Thank you, Tara!

Be prepared to be AMAZED!

I am from Virginia and was in the unfortunate situation of needing an attorney in Monmouth County, NJ. My daughter had been charged with several serious offenses to include 3 felonies. Having no knowledge of the court system, or the attorneys in the area I searched the internet. Tara Breslow's we...b site immediately caught my attention. To say it was impressive is an understatement. My concern was that she seemed too good to be true. I called Ms. Breslow and she was immediately available to talk to me. She answered my questions directly, enlightened me as to the court's inner-workings, and the possible defense strategies available. She was confident, professional and knowledgeable. I retained Ms Breslow and found her to be better than any attorney I had ever encountered. (I am prior law enforcement and have had extensive exposure to lawyers) Ms Breslow was able to advise my daughter as to how to provide the Court with documentation and actions that would enable my daughter to be seen in the best possible light. Ms Breslow was prompt responding to questions and was always available via telephone, text, and email. She knew the details of the case and was proactive in keeping goals and documentation prioritized. I did not ever feel that she just "talked a good game". She was confident that she could help my daughter, and she DID! If you want THE BEST legal representation available, hire Tara Breslow! Be prepared to be AMAZED!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
