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.

JN Review

My family and i recently hired Anthony Arbore for a very serious Criminal matter that one of my children was unfortunately involved in. I learned of Mr. Arbore's firm from a personal reference who had in the past had the same type of issues with one of his children and had hired Mr. Arbore for his so...ns defense. After an initial phone conference i was asked to provide any information i had to his office so he could review it before we actually sat down to discuss hiring him for the case. Once that was done we scheduled a meeting with Anthony at his office to meet in person and hear what he had to say. Anthony was very compassionate but also to the point. He laid out what the charges meant and the possible penalties attached to each one without sugar coating them (which i like). He then proceeded to explain to us an abbreviated plan of attack and what it would take to execute this plan should we hire him, which we did. Our particular case took approximately 9 months to get resolved and went very smoothly thanks to Anthony and his support team. Im very happy to say that our case came out with a very favorable result again thanks to Anthony's expertise. Above that Anthony never gave us any false hope but was always upbeat and supportive throughout the process which helped us cope with situation. I highly recommend Anthony Arbore and his firm for any of the legal services he provides. You will not only have gained a very accomplished counsel but also someone who you can actually call and have a conversation with as opposed to someone who never calls you back.. Thanks again Anthony! Cant wait to buy you that beer!! KN

Great job on difficult issue

My son has mental health issues and, as a result of those issues, he was charged with a serious offense. Mr. Arbore was great in getting him into a PTI program, for which we are very grateful! He knows the law; he knows the prosecutors involved; he keeps you informed; and he is a nice guy!

Absolutely phenomenal

Mr Arbore is one of the best attorneys in our area, period. Every questioned I had was answered, every concern I had was addressed. Seven of the eight of my violations were dismissed, and Mr Arbore successfully lobbied for the minimum fines and penalties. I would absolutely recommend his services to ...anyone in need.

Well Connected in Morris County

I was referred to Anthony by an attorney I knew and I wasn't disappointed. Anthony has experience on both sides of the court room, beginning his career as a prosecutor before becoming a defensive attorney. Anthony was very straightforward with me during my DWI charge and stayed on top of my case doin...g everything he could to obtain the information we were requesting from the police. Anthony was always responsive, knew the judge and prosecutors well and helped me to receive the lowest possible consequences. In addition, Anthony was willing to answer my questions in the aftermath of the court matter. I would recommend Anthony to anyone with a DUI/DWI case in Morris County.

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."
