The Attorney for the Job!

I first contacted Attorney Blauvelt in a panic because I had just had an awful experience and my home, career, license and all-around livelihood were all on the line. I am an out-of-state resident and I was charged in NJ, not only with DWI, Refusal and Reckless Driving charges but I was also charged ...with Eluding Police, a felony offense. What made matters worse is that, as time went on, the prosecution upgraded my charge from a third degree felony to a second degree felony which carried a possible 5-10 year sentence. I had never been criminally charged with anything before and things were not looking good. I called around to a few other law offices and I was told on more than one occasion that it was highly likely that I would be facing SOME sort of jail time and their goal was to keep jail time at a minimum. I did not accept that as an answer. I contacted Mr. Blauvelt, who never made any promises but was always upfront in his dealings with me. He made suggestions for strategies I needed to do in order to improve the chances for my case and I took his advice each time. My application for PTI was turned down the first time but he fought to have the prosecution reconsider. After 16 months and several status court dates, I finally was able to get my charges resolved. I was allowed in the PTI program for the felony eluding charge. The most serious driving charge (DWI) was dismissed as well as the reckless driving charge. I made a well-informed decision to plead guilty to just the refusal, which carried no jail time and no criminal record. I had a lot to lose and I am so glad I decided to go with Mr. Blauvelt. He was always responsive if I needed to just sort things out and ask questions regarding my case. Lastly, his fees are extremely reasonable for the service he provides in comparison to other firms. He's not some big firm with dozens of lawyers shuffling your file around. It's just him. He knows the ins and outs of his clients' cases and he works for as long as is required to get the desired outcome. Highly, highly recommended.

Tom Blauvelt is a professional, knowledgeable, and passionate lawyer

I came to Thomas Blauvelt visibly upset and depressed about my DWI charge. From the moment I stepped into his office and consulted with him, his experience and candid assessment of my case made me feel at ease, and I always felt like I was in good hands. He was always available for feedback and he cl...early explained exactly where he was taking the case step by step. Through his knowledge and experience,he outlined a legal strategy that ultimately led to the outright dismissal of my DWI charge. I HIGHLY recommend the services of Thomas Carroll Blauvelt.

Traffic charges in Municipal and Superior Jurisdictions

I highly recommend Mr. Blauveit, he is extremely professional, efficient and knowledgeable in all aspects of the law. He's patient and very personable with explaining and braking down your imposed charges and what the outcome of the situation would be in a truthful manner. I was very pleased with wi...th his services and greatful to have retained him and would use him again and HIGHLY recommend him!

Definitely the right choice!!

Thomas and his team were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. At first it felt weird mostly talking through emails but don't be discouraged him and his team know exactly what they are doing. I had 2 charges against me one of which was for a drug charge which would have completely destroye...d my career. He came up with a solution and got the charge dropped having me only pay the other (which was just a fine for a minor charge) so I can continue my career. I cannot thank him enough and if your looking for a great lawyer you have to look no further, this is your man.

One word - Professional

Attorney Blauvelt is very professional, knowledgeable, and plugged into the legal community. My family and I instantly felt comfortable with our case in his hands. He has a very impressive presence and conveys an honest and professional demeanor. He is very plugged into the legal community and kno...ws many prosecutors and judges. I would highly recommend his services and rate him a perfect 10 for the way our case was handled! Not a single complaint from us.
