Simply the Best Representation

We needed an attorney to represent us in a local DWI case and didn’t know where to turn. A friend had heard very good things about Anthony Arbore. We emailed him on a Sunday evening and he called us that same evening. Talk about a quick response; other attorneys we had attempted to consult put us on ...hold seemingly forever. But Tony is not like that; he is very quick to respond back, either in a phone call or an email ( it usually depends on what form of communication you’ve chosen). Tony is a very experienced and compassionate advocate for you. And, he listens to you; he considerately and efficiently addresses any concerns or questions you may have. At the end of our DWI case, when we came before the judge, we ended up with the best deal possible…all due to Tony Arbore’s hard work, jurisdictional knowledge and professional dedication. If you’re in need of a lawyer who’ll fight for you, Tony is the one to see.

Anthony Arbore on being my lawyer

When I Hired Mr. Arbore as my lawyer I knew right away that he was the right choice. Right from the beginning he was super helpful and thorough with everything that was going to happen as I was never in a situation like this before. He made me feel very comfortable and made sure that I was prepared f...or whatever was going to happen. When the court date came he was extremely helpful with talking with the prosecutor and the judge to the point where it resolved my case to the best it could be. All in all Mr. Abrore was there any time you needed him and was willing to do whatever it took to put me in the best possible situation.

A great attorney, a better man

Anthony “Tony” and his team were OUTSTANDING. I had received a serious moving violation in the State of New Jersey and felt wrongfully accused, thinking I had a case to fight it. I am a senior executive from Manhattan, NYC, and not knowing the NJ laws well - in addition to having limited connection...s in this type of law - I did EXTENSIVE research on AVVO and other sites. After about 10-12 interviews with other attorney candidates (seriously), I hired Tony. He came off incredibly experienced, knew the judge, the prosecutor and even the police officers in the county of my infraction. As a defense attorney AND a former prosecutor, Tony knew the NJ laws inside and out, from both sides of the aisle. More importantly, Tony struck me as a good man - someone I trusted. I few weeks later my hiring Tony would prove to be the best decision I could have made in facing a scary situation. He and his team dug deep into my case, received all the discovery and put together a position that would result in making a deal with the county prosecutor BEFORE I ever went in front of the judge! I was off before any proceedings ever started! During the weeks between the incident and the court hearing, Tony treated me like I was a cousin, or nephew, or some close family-member. He checked in on me. He responded within minutes of my emails, even while on vacation with his family. Tony kept me informed every step of the way; even if he didn’t have news, he would tell me that. The end-result is what I hired Tony to accomplish, but THE WAY in which he went about it is the reason why I would recommend him to anyone in trouble, and why I’m taking the time to share my experience with him today. I can’t say enough about this man’s command of the law, and his integrity.

Worth Every Penny

Mr Arbore represented me in two DUI cases. Each time he worked diligently to make sure my rights were not violated and to help me to receive a fair deal. He communicated with me often and kept me informed of the status of my case regularly. I am grateful for his excellent representation. I heartily ...recommend his services.

Superb, Skillful Attorney

I was facing a 2nd DUI charge with a 2-year license suspension and all the additional penalties that come with a 2nd DUI conviction. After becoming disheartened by the inaction and seeming presumptive acceptance by my initial attorney to a seemingly unchallengeable charge, a friend suggested I talk t...o Mr. Abore. Immediately after a lengthy, highly educational consultation, I retained Mr. Abore to take over my case. Mr. Abore made no promises, on the contrary, he made it very clear the many obstacles we faced, but he gave me much needed hope in that he would do his utmost for the best possible outcome. Mr. Abore reviewed with me, every detail of the case, even to include my prior case. He took the time to answer my questions and discuss options, always being forthright about worst and best case scenarios. His wealth of knowledge and expertise was invaluable to building a defense that resulted in the dismissal of the DUI charge. Instead, I was able to plead to a reckless drive charge with only a 90-day license suspension. Mr. Abore’s passion and dedication to do the best for his client is unquestionable. I am so very thankful and fortunate that I had Mr. Abore on my side.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Tony Arbore for 30 years. During that time I have worked with him in different capacities (defense attorney, municipal prosecutor, lecturer at legal seminars). I have the highest regard for Tony both as a person and as a professional. He is smart, principled, diligent and tenacious. He cares deeply about the outcome of each case. Tony has extensive experience in all areas of criminal and municipal court defense (including DWI, drug offenses, and other serious motor vehicle infractions). Although caring and compassionate, Tony is a straight shooter who will tell the client what he believes, not what the client wants to hear. Fellow lawyers call Tony to seek his opinion about various issues and he invariably picks up the phone to try to help. Tony is rightfully held in high esteem for his ability and character by the judges he appears before and the colleagues he practices with. He is, in short, the real thing."
