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.

DWI
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.

Great Help
Carmine was recommended to me by a co worker and I never turned back. He helped me with charges of possession and paraphernalia and some tickets and he ended up getting me off with a ticket. He was very confident, helpful and he works for a very fair rate.
