Best Attorney In New Jersey

I received a DUI and 2 other tickets. After searching the internet I called Thomas on a Sunday morning. I was surprised that he pick up the phone. After a brief conversation with him I was convenienced he was an excellent attorney. We went to court after seven months delay. Thomas never stop figh...ting my case that night. I was shocked and amazed at the out come. The DUI was dropped and I only received 2 points from the two tickets. Now I can take a driving coarse on line and remove those 2 points. I will be forever grateful to Thomas. If you want the best hire Thomas Carroll Blauvelt to defend your case.

A bleak DUI Case that had the best possible outcome!

This past May, I was stopped at a DUI checkpoint at the Turnpike Exit 9 Toll Booths. I received a DUI charge of 0.15 BAC, reckless driving charge, a careless driving charge and a ticket for an expired registration card. I was looking at a 7 months license suspension, an ignition interlock device for... 6-12 months following the suspension, 12-48 hrs IDRC, $300-500 fine and various surcharges. I was pretty upset since it would greatly affect my commute to work but I met with multiple lawyers and discussed my case. I met with Mr. Thomas Blauvelt after reading his positive reviews for DUI Cases online. I met with Tom and we discussed my case but the one thing that stuck out to me more about Tom than the other lawyers is that he sat there for 30 minutes and listened to my case and asked me every detail of the night, and pointed out every single defensive approach we had. The other lawyers I met with listened to my case, asked me my BAC, and then told me the fines and suspensions I was facing and their retainer fees…they never even bothered to ask for the details. Right then I knew Mr. Blauvelt was the right choice. The case went on for about 5 months and on the final court appearance when things were looking dismal (7 month suspension), Mr. Blauvelt’s persistence was able to get the .15 BAC reading removed from my case based on a 20 min timing issue with the BAC testing on the Alcotest machine. This dropped my punishment to the lower-tier punishments for a DUI (90 day suspension, a lesser fine, and 12 hrs IDRC). He also got the other charges dismissed. I left court extremely satisfied with Mr. Blauvelt’s representing me for this case. I definitely recommend Mr. Blauvelt. Thanks so much for your help!!!

Highly Recommended and Get's The Job Done!!

I was facing multiple fines and suspensions in addition to contempt fees on some old tickets. Tom not only managed to secure minimization of the existing tickets, but no points or additional suspends!! This means I can get my license back and I have him to thank for it. Thanks Tom!!

Unbelievably Awesome

A little background...since that's what I looked at when choosing Mr. Blauvelt: I was facing charges for a DWI, Refusal to submit as well as Careless Driving ON St. Patrick's Day. Mr. Blauvelt responded IMMEDIATELY to my online inquiry pertaining to retaining him as representation and went right t...o work on explaining why he 'liked my case.' Needless to say, after just a month (to the day) of waiting and worrying, Mr. Blauvelt was able to tell the Judge and Prosecutor they "didn't have a case..." and they AGREED! I simply have a 60 day driving license suspension with no points (pending Defensive Driving Course completion). I mean...does it get any better than that? Mr. Blauvelt keeps it real, tells you possible outcomes and WORKS for your best interest. If you're reading this and haven't already made the decision to hire him, you're a fool lol. Thanks a lot Mr. Blauvelt and Rusheena (assistant) for being so great.

Good lawyer.

Helped me get an unusual traffic violation dismissed while living in a different state. Communicated effectively and was persistent. I would certainly recommend Thomas for traffic court, he saved me a 15 hour drive and unneeded stress and worry. Other lawyers didn't get back to me due to the nature o...f the case, but his team responded promptly. Great work.
