The Best

As most of us have experienced, when we hire a professional, calls aren't returned, people over promise and under deliver, etc. Well, Tony was the ultimate professional! Took time to get to know me personally and was authentic in the process. There were people waiting in the office to see him, but he... took his time to get to know me. Professionally Tony was extremely thorough in evaluating my situation and gave an honest opinion, both good and bad, but was honest in managing my expectations. Well, Tony delivered and the results were much better than I anticipated. Best decision I have ever made. By the way, his assistant Kathy was extremely pleasant, responsive to all my calls and emails. Great team that supports you every step of the way. Thank you.

Posted by Tom | May 08, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

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.

DUI, other tickets

Mr. Arbore handle my case with much professionalism, He explained costs and procedures at the beginning and it was as he said. He is very educated with the issues I was dealing with and the outcome was outstanding. He is extremely trustworthy. Communication with him was continual and clear. His staff... know their business and were very courteous to me throughout. If needed I would use Mr. Arbore again in a heartbeat!!! He came through for me big time!!

Bad situation made better

My first experience ever needing an attorney and I am ecstatic that I was introduced to this one. From my initial introduction through the conclusion of my case Mr. Arbore and his staff did all that I could have hoped for. Mr. Arbore and his staff keep my well informed and updated throughout this p...rocess. Explaining and offering different approaches to my issue to help achieve the best possible results. There is nothing cookie cutter here, the attention is to the individual and the matter at hand. Mr. Arbore provided candid feedback, and never sugarcoated what he could or could not get done. I hope that I will never be in the position to need his services again, but it is great to know that there is someone out there with the knowledge and conviction that Mr. Arbore provided me, I am truly grateful.

Mr. Arbore and his legal assistant Kathy were a pleasure to deal with. Phone calls and emails were addressed accordingly and professionally. Mr. Arbore was very knowledgable and thorough with his legal representation. He showed up on time in court and his courtroom manner was well accredited and re...spected. I would highly recommend Mr. Arbore.

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."
