unlicensed driving client

I only had NY permit driving in NJ and got into an accident. Got unlicensed driver and careless driving ticket. I was so afraid to get my license suspended.But the attorney successfully negotiate my ticket down to an expired driver license ticket. And because of my ny learner's permit, there were no... points on my future license. Totally only 300 fines. Strongly recommend!!!

Best Lawyer EVER

I would highly recommend Mr. Thomas Blauvelt for any and all of your legal needs. Mr. Blauvelt recently represented my daughter in a motor vehicle case and we were more than satisfied with the outcome. He was very accommodating in scheduling appointments for my daughter as she is an out-of-state fu...ll-time student. Mr. Blauvelt cares more about his client’s than money. I was able to go on a payment plan and if I was unable to make a payment, he understood. In fact, he continued to represent her even when we still owed a significant amount of money toward his services. He was extremely professional and ensured that we were kept abreast of any developments in my daughter's case.

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.
