Very Happy, Great Value for the Money

I was stopped by the local Police in Chester New Jersey on my way to New York State to go fly fishing. In addition to speeding as it turned out a surcharge notice had gone out that morning and I was on the revoked list also. The Police pretty much wrote me up for everything imaginable in the book. ... I consulted my normal business lawyer and he wanted $1,500.00 to go to Court and defend me. He actually recommended that I consider Mr. Huizenga as, to quote my business lawyer, "Huizenga does this type of work every day and he will definitely be cheaper and will probably get you a better result because all of the Prosecutor's know him and deal with him on a regular basis." I contacted Mr. Huizenga's Office and was charged $225.00 ($1,373 LESS than the original lawyer). When I went to Court we were in and out (apparently cases with lawyers are taken first) and I got "no points", pleading to one amended ticket for obstruction of traffic with an $89 fine. Other than the fact that I had to travel all the way back to Chester from Monmouth County (Chester is a town pretty much in the middle of no where) to resolve the case, I was able to save at least $1,000 and possible license revocation. I admit that I was initially skeptical that I would get such a good result for such an affordable legal fee, but results are results. Highly recommended.

Great Attorney !!!

I was charged with leaving the scene involving personal injury (8 point ticket!) and 6 other tickets in Fort Lee. Total of 22 points. Richard was amazing and professional from the start. He was very easy to talk to and really put me on ease about the whole situation. We met for the first time the day... of court, Richard had already obtained a resolution for me. I paid $278, No Loss of Drivering License and the case was sealed!!! I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a Lawyer!

Praise & Thanks from a happy Client

Richard, I just want to say thank you and let you know that I am immensely happy with the outcome orchestrated by you and your staff Attorney Megan Smith. I haven’t had any traffic violations for about the last 30 years and was terribly upset when faced with a potential 4 point ticket. I went into ...damage control mode and contacted my insurance company. I was advised that if I got 4 points, then my auto insurance premium would increase by $360 per year for 3 years totaling $1,080! I was in shock. Megan was successful in reducing the penalty to a small $89 fine and no points. I want to further convey that I am not just happy about saving money. It is also satisfying that I didn’t get a black mark on my pristine driving record. Thanks again, Jim

Excellent DUI Attorney

I hired Rich for my 2nd DUI in Wall over the phone. I was very impressed with Rich's review of my case and his frank and smart advice. The Judge told me I had a great a attorney and he was right because after 3 appearances Rich got my DUI dismissed on a technicality he found in the cops case. I got ...a Reckless driver ticket and a 90 day loss of license, DUI dismissed and saved me thousands of dollars. Thank you for all your help you saved my life.

Excellent attorney!!

After receiving a 5 point speeding ticket (98/65) on the garden state parkway (Lakewood) i was consulting with several attorneys and was resigned to the fact that i'd be taking a license suspension and a hefty fine due to the high rate of speed. After receiving a referral from a friend i called Rich...ard and he seemed optimistic so i decided to move forward and hire him. i'm glad i did! Richard did such a great job on my behalf filing motions and just generally doing more then I've seen from past attorneys resulting in a not guilty finding = no point, no fine!

  • 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.
