The best!

I was so nervous about the expungement process and avoided it for years but Tara was extremely knowledgable and made it completely painless for me. She was there to answer my questions every step of the way and a few months later it was all taken care of. I am so glad that I found her and would highl...y recommend Tara to anyone needing an attorney!

The absolute BEST criminal defense lawyer in the state of New Jersey!

If it was possible to give an attorney more than a 5-star rating, I would absolutely give it to Tara. If you are ever in the unfortunate situation of having to hire a criminal defense lawyer, Tara is the absolute only option. As far as a retainer fee is concerned, Tara's rate is EXTREMELY reasonable.... After consultations with several lawyers who quoted me almost twice the amount that I eventually came to pay Tara, it's more than clear that she is not in the field that she's in strictly for the money. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes absolutely above and beyond to help them, both from a legal standpoint and a personal one. Tara is a straight shooter who tells you exactly what you need to hear and doesn't sugar coat. For me, that is exactly the type of attorney that I needed. I was arrested in June of 201`5 for a felony charge and was absolutely scared out of my mind. I had never been in any sort of legal trouble, but that fright I felt quickly dissipated the second I retained Tara. Her confidence, brilliance and professionalism completely put me at ease. I honestly felt like I had an attorney who cared more about my well being and my future than she did her attorney fees, and that feeling was quickly proven true. Tara somehow managed to get my charges completely dismissed by the County Prosecutor without even having to make a single court appearance. Apparently I didn't learn my lesson the first time, because I went on to get arrested for another felony charge in November of 2015, shortly after my initial charge had been dismissed. This was a much more serious and complicated charge, but again I felt confident in Tara's ability to get the best possible outcome. During a time when I was at my absolute lowest, I once again felt confident with Tara in my corner. Tara genuinely cares about the well being of her clients, and showed this to me first hand. During a conversation early after my arrest, she did what she does best - told me exactly what I needed to hear, no matter how unpleasant it was for me to hear it. I've suffered from substance abuse for the past ten years. Tara was able to see the potential in me that I was completely wasting. She connected me with other people who are now sober and I am proud to say that I now have 100+ days sober due in large part to that initial conversation with Tara. As far as my second arrest is concerned, Tara was SOMEHOW able to work her magic and get that charge dismissed! TWO dismissals on two separate felony arrests in a six month DISMISSED! I am fully convinced that had I initially retained another attorney, that absolutely would not be the case. She has TONS of connections both at the municipal and county level and is able to leverage those connections as well as her unbelievable skill and professionalism to get her clients the best possible results. Tara is now handling the expungement of both of these charges, for which she's given me a SUBSTANTIAL financial break on price, and soon enough my record will be completely clear or any charges! I owe Tara my life and couldn't be happier with the results she was able to get me. You'd be foolish to hire any other attorney other than Tara Breslow!

Highly recommend

For our situation, Tara created a modern day miracle, and saved our son from what was shaping up to be a very bleak future. i strongly encourage anyone needing an attorney to call Tara.

A lawyer/guardian angel

Tara is young, ambitious, and very knowledgeable of the law. If you run into trouble (we all make mistakes) innocent or not she places nice, but is on the offensive with judges and prosecutors and will cut all the fat police officers usually tack on out of desperation to pin a solid conviction on you..., and often using unlawful methods in doing so (its their job). With ME, she turned a potential 10 year hard time sentence into a traffic violation and got me through PTI with flying colors for a simple assault by auto. She saved my life, my family's sanity, and my career. She can be a sweetheart, and a badass (whichever tactics she deems necessary tidey up your case. Her fees are well within market range, if not less. She covers pretty much everything from simple drug possession to suspected armed robbery. Call her if you are in any trouble. Simple possession of pot convictions can seriously cripple if not destroy your career. Remembered you are innocent until proven guilty!!

satisfied client

She is the best. Helped me with a criminal matter and handled my situation perfectly. Was very knowledgeable answered all my questions. Helped me get out of a bad situation when I thought there was no hope. She even called me the night before the court date to put my mind to rest and feel at ease to ...get a good night sleep. Very polite and professional. If ever I was to need a lawyer again ( hopefully not) she will be my first call. Thank you for everything.
