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.

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.

Better Than Excellent

Mr Arbore never promised more than he could deliver and delivered what he said he could. His attention to detail and learned approach was very reassuring at an anxious time. The matter he dealt with for me had a very good outcome and I would recommend his services very highly.

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.

Review of Anthony M. Arbore by Heather

On August 14, 2009 I was in a car accident with my own personal vehicle and was hit by an emergency vehicle, in which, I sustained injuries due to the negligence of the driver of the emergency vehicle. After speaking with my family they felt that I needed to consult with an attorney. I was refe...rred to, Anthony Arbore, of Foster, Arbore & Velez, in 2009 to consult and review my personal injury case with him. After presenting what had transpired during my car accident, Anthony Arbore, knew my case would be a complex and involved case due to medical issues I had endured in previous years, however, we both decided to move forward with my case. Anthony Arbore's countless hours of dedication and continued determination over the course of 5 years to prove the negligence of the other driver was incredible. Not to mention his compassion, support and concern as to how I was doing through the entire process was truly genuine. I would highly recommend, Anthony Arbore, to represent them as their attorney, because he will stand by their side 120% until the end. I am very grateful and appreciative to have had such an amazing attorney representing me.

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."
