DUI/DWI Legal Representation

Anthony Arbore was excellent in handling my case. I was truly impressed by his knowledge of the municipal court my case was heard in. He also did a great job keeping me informed of actions I should be taking throughout the legal process. I would 100% recommend Mr. Arbore to anyone looking to fight... a DUI/DWI charge.

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.

Great experience

I hired Tony to defend me in a DUI case. Tony was knowledgeable, professional and incredibly responsive to any messages or questions I had for him. He took the time to walk me through the process and made me feel comfortable during an otherwise very stressful ordeal. My case had some unique circum...stances and Tony went the extra mile to ensure that all the issues were properly addressed. His understanding of this area of the law is impressive and he was very fair and honest with me regarding my case and options. I appreciated that Tony made himself available during his off time to address a question or help move my case forward. Tony was without a doubt the right attorney for me in this matter and I would highly recommend him.

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.

This is THE lawyer that you want for DUI and DWI in Northern NJ.

I was mistakenly arrested but unable to prove my sobriety with the breathalyzer (which I wanted to take) because of a stomach ulcer which caused uncontrollable burping, resulting in a refusal charge on top of the DUI. Even though I was able to subsequently prove my medical condition with an endoscop...y, I was advised by several lawyer friends that in NJ you are presumed guilty, not innocent when it comes to DUIs. After a fair amount of inquiry, Mr. Abore was unanimously recommended as the best counsel available in this area to represent me on this charge. He did not over promise - in fact, he said that the odds were against an acquittal even at trial and that we might have to appeal. In the end, he was able to negotiate down to a lesser charge of failure to maintain lane, without any suspension of my license, which by all accounts of my attorney friends, was a virtual miracle. Mr. Arbore is very effective for several reasons: He knows and is well regarded by the local judges and prosecutors. He knows the law and specializes in DUI/DWI cases perhaps more than anyone else in the Morris County area. He is a former prosecutor himself. The judge and prosecutor always addressed him cordially and respectfully, owing to his background, experience and expertise. Finally - and not insignificantly - Mr. Arbore is just a good guy, He has a very professional, empathetic and effective assistant Kathy, who is the point of contact when Mr. Arbore is in court. I recommend Mr. Abore and his team highly and enthusiastically.

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."
