My "Go To" Guy for Tough Situations

Recently was in a tough situation when I was arrested in Bermuda while on holiday for marijuana possession. Not wanting to be on the next episode of Locked up Abroad, I called Tom immediately, knew he'd advise me on what to do... Sound advice, I was given a warning and was on an airplane back home th...e next day. Personally answered texts / cell phone. Very satisfied.

Best lawyer in New Jersey

I've had multiple traffic violation cases throughout New Jersey (my doing and responsibility), including driving while suspended, third offense, which would have resulted in my incarceration if it wasn't for the great work of Mr. Blauvelt. Thomas have made the impossible happen, and thanks to him, I ...avoided the harsh punishments of NJ judicial system. I'm a much more responsible person now, and definitely know that I will avoid getting into trouble. Thomas have handled my cases with professionalism and ease, years in the field, knowledge and experience showing. I am highly recommending this individual to those in trouble, he will help you! Stay out of trouble, but if you are experiencing one, call Thomas C. 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.

Edison, NJ - DUI Case

This past April, I was charged with a DUI with 0.18 BAC, failure to maintain lane, reckless driving and driving to close to the vehicle in front of me. In other words, I was pretty much looking at 7 months without my license, an interlocking device hooked up to my car for the following 6 months, fine...s up the wazoo, and I don’t even know how many points on my license. After doing some research online, I found Mr. Blauvelt on avvo.com and was quite impressed with all his positive reviews, especially for DUI/DWI cases. I decided to reach out to him and boy what a smart decision that turned out to be. Instantly, I knew I had picked the “right” lawyer by just the questions he was asking me in the free consultation. Instead of explaining me his fees and the fines I was facing, he was trying to learn about every minute detail of that night, hoping to find any mistake(s) that the state trooper may have done Ultimately, Mr. Blauvelt was able to get my BAC reading removed from my case, dropping my penalty to a much less severe punishment (90 days suspension vs. 7 months suspension + 6 months interlocking device). He and his expert had found an error in the breathalyzer report, which made my reading questionable. In addition, Mr. Blauvelt was able to get my other three tickets dismissed. I high recommend Mr. Thomas Blauvelt not only for his professionalism and expertise, but also for his devotion and willingness to help his clients. Thank you again Tom.

Best Defense Attorney with strong recommendation

I was charged with DWI with 0.16 BAC, Reckless driving, and bunch of other charges. I selected Mr Blauvelt to represent me based on his strong ratings and referral from friends. He comforted me and did a thorough discovery and fought for me vigorously. He would keep me informed about the progress of ...the case at all times. Ultimately Mr Blauvelt was able to take out the reading from the Report and I got a minor sentence compared to what I was expecting. I highly recommend Mr Blauvelt and his professionalism and experience in dealing with complex cases.
