I am Carmine R. Villani, Founding Partner, at Villani & DeLuca, P.C.. I am a criminal trial attorney. This didn't happen by chance, I went into the practice of law with the desire to become a criminal trial attorney. I began as early as law school as a student prosecutor in the District Attorney's office in Dorchester Massachusetts. While in Law School in Boston I was very fortunate and had the oppportunity to work as a research assistant for Harvard Professor and famous civil rights attorney Alan Dershowitz.
Early in my career I worked with some great trial lawyers developing my skills and was later appointed muncipal prosecutor which provided additional trial experience. I contnued developing my skills and in 1996 Vincent C. Deluca and I formed the firm of Villani & Deluca, P.C. I concentrated on the trial work and at one point was trying a 2 month long federal civil fraud trial while simultaneously representing a victim's family in litigation stemming from a nationally recognized murder trial. In 2000 we moved our offices from a small space in Wall Township to a larger space in what is now our main office in Point Pleasant Beach.
Over the years I was able to concentrate my practice on criminal defense which also includes a large number of DWI and DUI cases based upon our main office location in Point Pleasant Beach at the heart of the Jersey Shore. I still handle a select number of serious personal injury matters.
The Firm has grown to 8 attorneys with a professional support staff. My team and I handle the firm's criminal defense, DWI and personal injury matters.
My partner, Vincent C. Deluca, is one of only a few certified matrimonial lawyers in NJ and his team exclusively handles family law and divorce related matters.

Provided a detailed explanation of the DWI situation I was facing. Inquiries about questions were answered immediately or within hours of the same day. The end result of my hearing went better than I could have ever hoped for. Great down to earth personality easy to talk to.

I would highly recommend Carmine Villani! I have gone through pretty bad times the past couple of years due to the death of my Father and following a very difficult and complicated legal situation unfortunately involving Family members that I trusted and cared about very much. Carmine had alot to so...

Sometimes people do stupid things and need a Lawyer. I am that person. After Toasting My hunting and fishing Buddy Good Bye with a half dozen Tequila shots at his Memorial Service, I decided to drive home. Well almost home. I got pulled over for DWI. This was My second offence in less than ten years...

Fought for a good outcome in my case. Incredible effort. I’ve been lucky enough to have not had a lot of experience needing to hire an attorney. I went with Carmine and I’m very pleased with how things turned out.

Carmine is the best lawyer on the east coast. He did everything he said he was going to do plus more. The turn out of my case was much better then I expected. I was very nervous about my case and he made it happen. I wouldn’t hire anyone else to handle any future legal matters.
