Plain and simple: Thomas Blauvelt is phenomenal!

I had 3 summons: 2c:28-4b(1), 2c:33-2a(2) & 2C:35-10.5A(3). The summons 2c:28-4b(1) & 2c:33-2a(2) each carried 6 months in jail and $1000 fine. The summon for 2C:35-10.5A(3) was the gorilla, though. The summon carried a fine of up to $200,000 and a year in jail. I was in a lot of trouble, a...nd I wasn't helping him either! I had demands that made this more challenging than it needed to be: I was a bestman in my brothers wedding, and my court date fell on his wedding. I was also moving that month, so I needed to wrap up my case quickly. It was a mess. I was scared, confused and I really didn't know what to do. I knew I needed a good lawyer, though. I am addicted to reviews, so I did my research on Hoboken attorneys and came across Thomas Blauvelt. Thomas is my hero. He is endlessly passionate about his clients and to say that he changed my life is an understatement. First off, Thomas was able to reschedule my court date so I could attend my brothers wedding. Second, and likely the most important, Thomas was able to get my 2C:35-10.5A(3) completely dismissed! Third, Thomas knew I was moving, so when he showed up to court he went straight to the prosecutor and was able to reduce my remaining charges to Breach of Peace! What is important to note here is Thomas took into account my career. I wasn't very aware of my charges showing up on job applications, so I never really asked him to take that into consideration, but he did! In conclusion, Thomas was able to reduce my charges from around $210,000 and over a year in jail to $1,000 fine, no jail time and minimal record. If you are looking for a Hoboken criminal defense attorney I demand you hire Thomas Blauvelt. Demand "is" the right word, because if you are reading this review you need someone who is going to listen, care and, most importantly, get you through your own situation. It is impossible for me to "encourage" or "highly recommend" you to hire Thomas because that would undermine my faith in his abilities. Thomas Carroll Blauvelt: Thank you for everything that you have done for me. I am immeasurable grateful.

DWI breath test Dismissed :)

First of all a Big Thanks to Thomas Blauevelt, excellent lawyer. Promised his words and kept fighting till the end. I was never Disappointed. I got pulled over for DWI, i wasn't sure if I should hire a lawyer, but I made a smart move and looking at the reviews, Thomas Blauvelt was rated among the ...highest in DWI cases, so i took the chance and discussed my case with him. He told me all the penalties I would face and showed me my options. I saw that he was very knowledgeable, so I accepted him as my attorney. I was scared about loosing my license for 1 year and also facing many fines, but Mr. Blauvelt took the case on for more than 4 months and finally got a DWI breathalyzer test dismissal. I cant be more happier, also I got my two tickets (reckless driving and tint ticket) dismissed, which were given to me when I got pulled over for DWI. When I left the court, I ended up going out with a smile on my face, which I taught was never possible. Once again, great attorney IF YOU WANT THE BEST RESULT POSSIBLE HIRE HIM MANY THANKS TO THOMAS BLAUVELT

The Judge said it was “Magic”!

By the time I got in trouble with the law, a DWI offence, I was confused and afraid of what was going to happen with me. I then scheduled a free consultation with Mr. Thomas Carroll Blauvelt. He immediately stroked me by his positive view of my case. In that first meeting he already started to ask m...e questions about how the police handled my case and how my breath test was taken. He could readily spot flaws in the breath analysis procedure only from what I said. Very important, he was not judgmental about what I did wrong with the law. So I feel quite comfortable exposing my case to him. Suffice to say that I hired him on spot and felt secure that I was being strongly defended. My case pointed to a 7 to 9 months suspension of my driver’s license, but Mr. Blauvelt always kept the positive perspective that my penalties could be ameliorated. And he did his job: with clinic eyes he caught inconsistencies on the police reports and handled an excellent deal with the prosecutor that agreed to let out the breath analysis from my case. Without that I got an attenuated 3 months suspension of my license and the dismissal of one of the accompanying offences. At the end of the Court session even the judge (I tough one) gave compliments to Mr. Blauvelt and literally used the word “Magic” to describe the job that Mr. Blauvelt did for me! Don’t get in trouble with the law. But if you do, I recommend a free consultation with the Attorney Mr. Thomas Carroll Blauvelt to listen his opinion about your case.
