Case Dismissed!!!

60 days after I thought I had successfully completed my 12 month conditional discharge I get a notice my hearing has been rescheduled. Never having received an original date I called the court house thinking it may be some mistake, it wasn't, I had to appear because my drug test came back "unsatisfac...tory." Completely confused as to how all negative results could be unsatisfactory, I found Tara on Avvo & contacted her. This was my one & only arrest so I was clueless about the whole situation & scared, she was very informative & straight to the point. Within a half hour she informed me that the court never received my test results from my probation officer, to me unsatisfactory means something was wrong with it, not missing completely. Why the court couldn't give ME that information, I don't know, but I felt better having Tara help me. She was honest about how she could help & what the possible outcomes could be. Bringing to court my negative test results & the faxed confirmation showing the date & time the results were sent to my PO, after a few minutes of talking to the judge & prosecutor my case was dismissed due to administrative error. I have successfully completed my conditional discharge, done probation, & this whole ordeal is over thanks to Tara & her equally awesome associate Ray Raya!!!!

A fantastic lawyer worth every penny!

I have been retaining Ms. Breslow for the past 2 years while on probation for CDS charges. I was initially sentenced to 3 years probation -- a result I was extremely happy with given the circumstances of my charges -- and I have now been successfully terminated from probation 1 year earlier than exp...ected. Tara was very professional throughout the entire process, kept me informed at all times, and achieved every outcome that we were shooting for each time we appeared in court. I would definitely recommend Tara for anyone needing a lawyer in New Jersey, and although I don't plan on ever requiring her services again she would be my first phone call if the need ever arose.

If you don't retain Ms. Breslow, you're crazy.

I have had a client/attorney relationship with Tara Breslow for over a year, which started off with a 2nd degree assault on a police officer along with other felonies, and the only thing that came out of it was a DUI and entrance into the Pre-Trial Intervention (PTI) for the remaining 2 FOURTH degre...e charges she shrunk them too. Now Ms. Breslow is not your typical (sales like) attorney where she makes promises. She will tell you like it is, the seriousness of you're charges, what you may be facing, and will take it one step at a time. She is firm, to the point and will tell it like it is even if you don't want to hear it, and a GOOD attorney operates this way. She doesnt want you to relax which many attorneys have you do just to get your money and feel confident that they'll make everything just go away. She makes you clear and understand what your facing. HOWEVER, you will almost indefinitely start to see your charges magically get reduced or even disappeared as time goes by. Some of her work on your case she will let you know about but she will do many things behind the scenes to dismantle BS charges and will identify any oversights in your charges before you even get to court! She is very thorough, detail oriented, persistent and will respond to your questions or concerns promptly. Most importantly, Ms. Breslow is a "PTI expert". She knows how to guide you through the bureaucratic maze of the PTI process, and I will tell you, she will be tough on you as to exactly what you need to do, and some to ensure you have the best chances to get into PTI. If you or a loved one made a mistake in the law which many of us good people occasionally do, call HER for a consultation, and her fees are very reasonable By the way. You will not walk out of her office without retaining her. If you do, you are flat out crazy. She is the ultimate tool you need to restore you or your loved one's life, career, and social stigma. Look no further, give Ms. Breslow a call and retain her immediately.
