The Best Lawyer I've Ever Worked With. Beat 2 DWI Charges.

I was prosecuted for 5 Traffic Violations including a DWI and a DWI Within a School Zone. The penalty for the DWI would have been 1 - 2 years suspended license. Although I was under the BAC limit at 0.07, needless to say, I was extremely worried. I met with Tom and during our first visit, he alre...ady had a map printed out proving that I was NOT within a school zone. He also came up with a winning strategy to get a deal worked out with the prosecution and I was able to beat ALL the DWI charges. Tom was extremely professional and honestly had my best interest at heart. He also kept me aware of the approaching court dates and what specific documents I should provide. Tom also sent me a course to take to reduce the number of points on my license due to the other Traffic Violations. There's a reason Tom has a reputation for being one of the (if not the) best DWI/DUI lawyer in NJ and he proved it to me. I will definitely seek counsel from Tom for all my legal disputes going forward and I will definitely refer him to others that are in similar predicaments. Needless to say it was a pleasure working with him and I was extremely satisfied with the results.

Incredible/DWI Dismissed!

I was facing a charge of DWI after driving home from New York City through New Jersey to Pennsylvania. I looked online and found Mr. Blauvelt. To state it simply: choosing Mr. Blauvelt was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. First of all he is an extremely friendly man and I fel...t that I could trust him with my life. In terms of his professionalism, Mr. Blauvelt exceeds all expectations. You don't have to go through the trouble of dealing with an attorney that is hard to reach, because Mr. Blauvelt makes himself accessible to you at all times. After examining all of the evidence, Mr. Blauvelt seemed sure that my case would be dismissed, and sure enough it was! The greatest outcome possible! If you are seeking an attorney for a DWI, or any legal issue for that matter; I highly suggest, no, BEG you to give Mr. Blauvelt a call, because he will do everything in his power to fight for you in your case. This was my first experience in dealing with a legal offense and I will always give Mr. Blauvelt a call should I or any of my friends or family experience a legal issue in the future.

Honest and Professional

I had received a traffic violation and was out of state. The office of Attorney Thomas Blauvelt was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to plead down the ticket, still had to pay a fine, but was well satisfied with Attorney Thomas Blauvelt's work. He was very professional and on-time to... the traffic court. I honestly don't know what I would have done without him. Honestly, it is well worth hiring him for a traffic ticket, saved me a lot of hassle.

DWI Dismissed

The night of, and the morning after my DWI arrest, I was angry, very angry. After researching how harsh DWI laws in NJ are, my anger slowly turned to fear. With a .15 BAC on record, I was looking at a 7-12 month license suspension as well as a mandatory ignition interlock device and unavoidable fines.... I spoke with a handful of friends who had experience with DWI tickets, and all of them said I was screwed. One of them even suggested I save my money and defend myself. I was pulled over by RUPD for supposedly driving at night with headlights/taillights off. Almost immediately after being pulled over, the officer claimed to smell alcohol, and I was asked to step out of the vehicle to perform FST's. After performing the FST's and thinking I passed, I was placed under arrest. I was eventually given two tickets for my headlights/taillights as well as a ticket for DWI. The reason I was angry is because I felt as though I was taken advantage of by the officer. I hired Mr. Blauvelt, and over the course of two months, we discovered that I was indeed taken advantage of that night. Not only were all of my lights on, but it turns out I didn't perform as bad on the FST's as the officer stated - he didn't even administer them properly. The officer also failed to take breath samples correctly, challenging the validity of the .15 reading. Long story short, the DWI was dismissed due to probable cause issues. I don't know the real reason why I was pulled over, but I can only speculate that I was merely an end of the month quota stop. It's complete bull that cops can do stuff like this, but when you have the right attorney, the facts will shine through. FWIW, I have a strong distrust of cops, and I don't feel much better about lawyers. In spite of that, however, I'd fully recommend Mr. Blauvelt, without hesitation. He's not a salesman like most others.
