Mr Blauvelt - An awesome defence attorney for juvenile drug charges!

Mr Blauvelt exceeded all expectations securing the best possible outcome for our son when he was found in posession of Maijuana. This being a first offence, our son had no idea what to expect. He was extremely anxious. As parents, this is an experience you dread! However, Mr Blauvelt calmly coached ...him ( and us ) through the court process as to what to expect. Not only did he succeed in having the case "diverted" ( effectively "no guilty charge" ) he used the experience positively to educate him as to to the dangers and consequences of what he had done making every effort to ensure he is not likely to re-offend. He always responded to my calls and emails promptly, reassuring us every step of the way. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him. If you are reading this as part of your process in selecting an appropriate attorney, look no further! Call and retain him right away!

HIghly Recommend

Thomas was excellent. He is very professional and highly experienced and I am very glad that I had the opportunity to work with him. I was very nervous and unsure of my case - the implications would have been detrimental to my career. Thomas was very kind, responsive and reassuring. He has great... prescence and was able to get everything dismissed. I really feel like justice was served. I highly recommend him.

Thomas is the Man! Best Traffic Attorney I Have Used!

Thomas has helped me out with my most recent and past traffic incidents. I hired Thomas initially for a 102 in 65, reckless and improper lane change. It didn't help that I already had about 13 points on my license. He managed to get 2 of the charges thrown out and the speeding ticket reduced so I end...ed up with 4 points instead of 12 and a reduced fine. He also prevented a lengthy suspension and I was only without a license for 20 days. He did a good job overall but this was a pretty cut and dry incident in my mind. Here is where Thomas really shined... We reviewed my driving history and my last stop before this was in 2009. It was a 9 point stop - 5pt tailgating and 4pt speeding. I had moved down to Florida and didn't want to deal with hiring an attorney or going to court at the time so I just plead guilty, paid the fine and took the 9 points. As I did not use a lawyer, nor plea bargain, Thomas filed a motion to reopen the case. The judge granted the request and I just went to court with Thomas. The result was they dropped the tailgating ticket and reduced the speeding ticket to just 2 points - YES 4 YEARS LATER! This was HUGE for me as it took 7 points off my license and should prevent a further suspension at an upcoming hearing. IF YOU PLEAD GUILTY AND DIDN'T PLEA BARGAIN OR USE AN ATTORNEY FOR PAST OFFENSES, CALL THOMAS! I am a pretty picky person and for me to call Thomas "the man" says a lot. His card has a permanent home in my 700 horsepower M3.

Better Outcome Than I Ever Thought Possible

After a night of bad decisions I was charged with a DWI (.21 reading), a 102 mph in a 65 mph zone, and an unsafe lane change. I was extremely scared about what I was facing. I hired Mr. Blauvelt based on reviews like this one and I was not at all disappointed. I've worked with lawyers in the past who... usually would show up to court with me, plead guilty, and happily take my money. Not this time. Mr. Blauvelt fought long and hard for me. Fast forward four months and I had two of the charges dismissed and all readings taken off the record. I plead to the lowest possible DWI charge, which I never thought possible in my situation. I only lost my license for 90 days (as opposed to 12 months), no interlock device, and no points. I never expected to walk out of court with a smile on my face like I did yesterday. If you need an attorney, hire this man.

DUI

WOW!!! I was arrested for DUI (BAC-0.79) in Morris County (Parsippany) and received 5 tickets in all (DUI, reckless, inspection papers, illegal u-turn, headlight not working). It was inevitable that I was going to loose my license for at least a month, if not more. On top of that the constant stress... that I had to deal with was streneous and affecting my work and my body. I checked Mr. Blauvelt's ratings and decided to hire him, even though he comes from 10 counties away (most people go with attorney's from the county they received DUI assuming that their attorney knows everyone). Believe me, apart from that an attorney needs good reputation, and intelligence. Mr. Blauvelt walked in the court, and got everything dismissed. I just paid approximately $500 and got 2 points careless ticket. It was unreal; I could not believe it. On top of this, all other attorneys, including the prosecutor knew him personally. With the amount of experience this man has, it is inevitable that he WILL get you the best outcome possible. Do not worry about where you received a ticket and how severe your crime was. If you need someone trustworthy, experienced, and best outcome - 110% hire him! I strongly recommend Mr. Blauvelt's services.
