Exceptional!
Tony and his Team are exceptional at what they do. He managed to combine three moving violation tickets into one, dramatically reducing the fine and going from potentially 14 points on the driver’s license to NONE.

Amazing Attorney
Mr. Arbore represented me in a traffic matter. As soon as I hired Mr. Arbore as my lawyer I realized he was the right choice. From the get-go he was very thorough & helpful. It was obvious that he genuinely cares for his clients. He kept me updated with everything that was going to happen. Even befor...

Excellent attorney
Mr. Arbore was my attorney recently in dealing with a DWI and multiple traffic offenses. Mr. Arbore was able to get everything thrown and only had to deal with the DWI. He is very easy to talk to and makes the whole situation as easy and stressless as possible. Would recommend Mr. Arbore to anyone in...

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...

Mr. Anthony Arbore
Mr. Arbore and his team defended me for a careless driving charge. He was able to have the charge dismissed and advised me extremely well throughout the entire time. He also made me feel much more at ease during this difficult time. I recommend Mr. Arbore in the highest way to anyone needing legal se...
"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."
