Outstanding Attorney!!!

If I ever needed an attorney again; I would immediately call Tom. Tom's professionalism in all aspects of my case; from consulting to handeling; to walking me through every step of it was outstanding. His knowledge of the law is impeccable. When I first contacted Tom; I was nervous about what I was f...acing and the potential outcome. Tom completely reassured me that everything would work out and he would make sure the outcome was exactly what we wanted. Calm, cool, and collected is how I would describe his demeanor. I couldn't of been happier about the end result and would highly recommend Tom.

DUI

I hired Thomas back in September 2016 for my DUI through my fiance recommendation base on his other reviews from his clients. The case run for 5 1/2 months and those months was the hardest thing I had to face since it was my second DUI and I didn't know what the outcome will be. I was afraid that I w...ill somehow lose my license and no way of getting to work. I put my trust on Thomas and he went in there for each court date appearance presenting my case with all the discovery he had obtain from the state. Don't get me wrong, Thomas did warned me that he can't win all cases for all the clients he had, but I told he is the best and I trust him to defend my case. My final day of trial was yestereday 1/16 I was so shaken when speaking to him explaining what direction this trial can go, but at the end of the trial, he was able to dismiss the case. I was so excited to leave that court room and I will never want to see any court room again. I didn't go wrong hiring Thomas Blauvelt. Thomas, Thanks for the work that you did. I am ecstatic of the outcome of the trial.

The Municipal Prosecutor did not stand a chance with Mr. Blauvelt

I never met with this attorney in person because I do not live in New Jersey. We spoke on the phone once and I him retained based on all of the positive information that I found online and his reasonable flat fee. Within a day or two he was on the case and sent me what he sent to the prosecutor. I kn...ew that the city was in for a battle if they did not drop my charges which, if convicted, I faced "mandatory" jail time. Well, he let me know that a bail was set, I paid the bail, and in about thirty days he'd left me a voicemail letting me know that everything was dismissed. The money order that I used to pay the bail was in my mailbox before I even knew that the case was resosolved; they never had a chance to cash the money order because he was on them from the start and they did not want to deal with him. And I still have only spoken to him just one time. This guy was awesome. His staff was awesome. Within a month after retaining Mr. Blauvelt I am able to get a driver's license again and will not have to pay a single red cent more than I owed prior to retaining him. I highly recommend him as legal counsel. After all was said and done, he even threw in some advise as a bonus. I instructed me on what I could do to get the bail back, which I had, and what I should do in order to get the process of restoring of my license going. The legal profession at it finest!

Bad checks

Mr Thomas Blauvelt ... a man of few words.. Very knowledgeable, down to earth and real professional... when I first met him.. he clearly stated the facts and possible outcomes without scaring me. My first impression for him was very good and decided to hire him instantly. Before meeting Thomas, I s...aw 2 other lawyers out of which one lawyer scared me to death and asked for huge fees. I somehow got involved with bad checks and didn't know what would happen since I don't have legal status. Thomas's team in office - Annabella and Elaine were always helpful and answered all questions accurately and also returned each and every call I made. on the day of my court appointment, Mr Thomas discussed my case with the prosecutor and he got the best outcome... I was charged with disorderly conduct and was sanctioned for PTI without affecting me legal status. Aqua also did a great job in the court... I was given a new life by Thomas... even million thanks is not enough for him... if you are looking for a best criminal lawyer, look no further...you have arrived at the right place.. hire Thomas immediately and let him handle your case. If I could, I would give Thomas a million star review

Absolutely Amazing !

I was facing a second DWI, refusal of the Breathalyzer and leaving the scene of an Accident. A total of 4 1/2 years without my license. I was in a very sad place because I work in the auto industry and have to keep a clean license to keep my job. I met with about 5 lawyers before I made the decision... to work with Mr. Blauvelt. He was the only one who was straight up, respected my time and made me feel like a person not a piece of junk, like the others. A true gentleman. After he carefully reviewed all the facts in my case he guided me on the process and when the time came for me to go to court I was very happy and grateful with my outcome. He is not only an amazing lawyer, Mr Blauvelt and his team are angels. I highly recommend you meet with him and see for yourself why he gets the reviews he does.
