Better Outcome Than I Ever Thought Possible

After a night of bad decisions I was charged with a DWI (.21 reading), a 102 mph in a 65 mph zone, and an unsafe lane change. I was extremely scared about what I was facing. I hired Mr. Blauvelt based on reviews like this one and I was not at all disappointed. I've worked with lawyers in the past who... usually would show up to court with me, plead guilty, and happily take my money. Not this time. Mr. Blauvelt fought long and hard for me. Fast forward four months and I had two of the charges dismissed and all readings taken off the record. I plead to the lowest possible DWI charge, which I never thought possible in my situation. I only lost my license for 90 days (as opposed to 12 months), no interlock device, and no points. I never expected to walk out of court with a smile on my face like I did yesterday. If you need an attorney, hire this man.

Six criminal and traffic charges turned into two minor traffic offenses!

I was facing a criminal mischief charge, reckless driving, property damage with a moving vehicle, driving while suspended, unregistered vehicle, and failure to show proof of insurance in NJ. I called Tom on a Saturday afternoon and he answered right away. His retainer fee was reasonable and he told m...e he would get working on my case right away, especially since the court date was three days away. There wqs some rescheduling and excellent communication on his staff's part, including a chance to Skype conference since I lived far from his office. On the date of my hearing, Tom seemed to have a great relationship with the prosecutor (which helps tremendously) and was able to negotiate a plea deal for me. My six charges were reduced to two guilty pleas of careless driving. He also spoke to me immediately about possible record expungement. Tom was knowledgeable, calming, and respected by the court. He did an amazing job!

Fantastic Representation

I was charged with a serious driving offense in Bridgewater NJ by an over zealous police officer. Mr. Blauvelt had a good relationship with everyone at the municipal court and was able to get my significant charge dropped down to a minor offense. I was able to avoid a heavy fine and up to 15 days of ...community service thanks to Mr. Blauvelt. I am very pleased with the outcome with my case, given the circumstances, and I highly recommend the services of Mr. Blauvelt.

HIGHLY RECOMMENEDED!

I had received 4 tickets (which included speeding and a suspended license charge) which would of been a disaster if I took care of on my own and probably with another attorney. Mr. Blauvelt did an amazing job on getting them reduced and dismissed. I may have to spend some money on fees but in the lon...g run it is and was worth it to hire Mr. Blauvelt. He is extremely professional but with an added sensitivity, which most attorneys lack. His assistant, Rusheena, was extremely kind and very attentive as well. I not only recommend him highly, but if ever needed (hopefully not lol) would hire in a second.

Great experience, highly recommend!

I was so fortunate to find Tom. I had a series of bizarre events that led my insurance to lapse, and was ultimately pulled over and ticketed. It was how I found out about the lapse! Once I realized I couldn't take this on by myself, I did a lot of research, spoke to a lot of attorneys. I chose To...m and am so glad that I did. I was faced with losing my license for a year, points on my record, and large fines. Tom was forthright, knowledgeable, clear, and above all, very kind. He not only kept me calm and organized for my court date, but the results I got were even better than I hoped: my tickets were reduced to $0, no points on my license, and I paid nothing but court costs. I could not recommend him any higher.
