Outstanding Representation provided in my defense of a recent D.U.I.

Thomas C. Blauvelt handled my DUI case with the highest degree of professionalism. Thomas understood the severity of my case and immediately requested a meeting to make me aware of the severity of the charges and the consequences for me. Thomas had a clear understanding of all of the laws pertainin...g to the matter and immediately noticed discrepancies in the machines that tested me for the DUI and the time required of 20 minutes monitored before and between tests that was required by law. Due to this the tests were thrown out of the case and my sentence was reduced to a minimum DUI by observation of 90 days and a reduced fine only. If it was not for Thomas Blauvelt I would have recieved 7 months loss of license and a mandatory ignition lock after I had my license restored and higher fines with the possibility of community service.

Saved my butt

I was ticketed for 98mph in a 65mph zone on 287S. That equates to a 5 point violation and a $250 fine. I did some research and found out my license could be suspended because the speed was excessive. For someone with a 60+ mile commute and no other options than myself that would pretty much sink m...e. I enlisted Mr. Blauvelt and he was able to get my fine reduced to 0 points on the condition I complete a 6 hour online safety course (30 bucks). It was worth the money all around - instead of a 60 day suspension and 5 points I'm going to end up with 0 points and all it will cost me is a modest cash investment and 6 hours of my time. Not bad for a severe offense. Thanks Tom.

Highly recommend

On my way in to first day of work at a new job, I had a minor accident on Route 22 in NJ. I pulled over and made sure other driver was okay and shared insurance info with the other driver. Seeing everything was okay and I still had time to make it in on-time to my new job, I left accident site to g...et to work. I suggested the other driver might want to call police to give report. I spoke to the police officer via phone an hour later to give my report. To my surprise, a few days later in mail, I received summons for "leaving the scene of the accident" carrying up to a $2500 fine with loss of license, "failure to report an accident", and "unsafe lane change." Well I knew two of the tickets were wrong since I pulled over, made sure the driver was okay and swapped insurance – I did internet search to checked the statute and found explanation on Attorney Thomas Blauvett's website to see there was no requirement to wait for a police officer to arrive at scene (although after my experience I suggest you always do). I knew there was a police report to vindicate me but I had no idea if that was good enough, I didn't know if I needed witnesses…I basically didn't know how to handle the situation…and I didn't want to lose my license or pay huge fines. I chose Thomas Carroll Blauvett, LLC to represent me after I did search on Nolo.com seeing that he came recommended and had good background handling such cases. With the recommendation and his reasonable fee, the decision was easy. I'm extremely happy with the outcome. Thomas handled all the negotiation with the prosecutor which resulted in dropped charges on the leaving the scene citation and reduced failure to report citation to failure to notify police in a timely manner. He also was able to have the failure to notify judgment sealed which protects me from future insurance claims. I didn't have to do any work other than answer a few simple questions from the judge. The fines were much less than expected and he even swayed judge to reduce one of the fines that may have doubled because the accident happened in safe corridor. I'm glad I made decision to ask Thomas Carroll Blauvett, LLC to represent me.

Farmed out uninspired representation

Tom might be a good lawyer, but my case was farmed out to a recent grad who got the standard "deal" which proved costly. Beware of "no points deals".
