DUI

I hired Thomas back in September 2016 for my DUI through my fiance recommendation base on his other reviews from his clients. The case run for 5 1/2 months and those months was the hardest thing I had to face since it was my second DUI and I didn't know what the outcome will be. I was afraid that I w...ill somehow lose my license and no way of getting to work. I put my trust on Thomas and he went in there for each court date appearance presenting my case with all the discovery he had obtain from the state. Don't get me wrong, Thomas did warned me that he can't win all cases for all the clients he had, but I told he is the best and I trust him to defend my case. My final day of trial was yestereday 1/16 I was so shaken when speaking to him explaining what direction this trial can go, but at the end of the trial, he was able to dismiss the case. I was so excited to leave that court room and I will never want to see any court room again. I didn't go wrong hiring Thomas Blauvelt. Thomas, Thanks for the work that you did. I am ecstatic of the outcome of the trial.

The Municipal Prosecutor did not stand a chance with Mr. Blauvelt

I never met with this attorney in person because I do not live in New Jersey. We spoke on the phone once and I him retained based on all of the positive information that I found online and his reasonable flat fee. Within a day or two he was on the case and sent me what he sent to the prosecutor. I kn...ew that the city was in for a battle if they did not drop my charges which, if convicted, I faced "mandatory" jail time. Well, he let me know that a bail was set, I paid the bail, and in about thirty days he'd left me a voicemail letting me know that everything was dismissed. The money order that I used to pay the bail was in my mailbox before I even knew that the case was resosolved; they never had a chance to cash the money order because he was on them from the start and they did not want to deal with him. And I still have only spoken to him just one time. This guy was awesome. His staff was awesome. Within a month after retaining Mr. Blauvelt I am able to get a driver's license again and will not have to pay a single red cent more than I owed prior to retaining him. I highly recommend him as legal counsel. After all was said and done, he even threw in some advise as a bonus. I instructed me on what I could do to get the bail back, which I had, and what I should do in order to get the process of restoring of my license going. The legal profession at it finest!

Best DUI and MVC Lawyer in NJ

I am a NJ resident that received an out-of-state DWAI conviction from NY due to a BAC of .07. When NY passed this offense to the NJ MVC, they automatically interpreted it as a full DUI and threatened to suspend my license and fine me $3,000! This was outrageous, as there is no law in NJ for anythin...g less than .08 BAC, and as recorded in court documents, I was under this limit. I hired Tom based on his successful DUI and MVC record, and I am very grateful that I did! This unfounded NJ suspension could have cost me my job and thousands of dollars. Tom got to work right away to write up the case for my defense and to explain to the MVC that my BAC was under the legal limit in NJ. While this case took several years to resolve, the MVC finally agreed to withdraw the potential suspension and drop the charges against my NJ driving record. Tom was available to answer all of my questions along the way, and did not provide any misleading expectations. He is an effective communicator that provides results. I was positioned to be wrongly punished, but the work of Tom and his office ensured that justice prevailed!

traffic tickets

Thank you so much for representing my wife to dismiss and downgrade her two traffic tickets (7 points) into a single no-point traffic ticket. The result was so much better that we had expected. Mr. Blauvelt even stuck around after we paid the fine to make sure the code on the receipt is for the no-po...int offense, that's so nice, thorough, and professional. Again, we sincerely thank Mr. Blauvelt and his entire legal team for such an excellent work!!!! I will definitely recommend Mr. Blauvelt to anyone who needs the best traffic ticket lawyer!!

Bad checks

Mr Thomas Blauvelt ... a man of few words.. Very knowledgeable, down to earth and real professional... when I first met him.. he clearly stated the facts and possible outcomes without scaring me. My first impression for him was very good and decided to hire him instantly. Before meeting Thomas, I s...aw 2 other lawyers out of which one lawyer scared me to death and asked for huge fees. I somehow got involved with bad checks and didn't know what would happen since I don't have legal status. Thomas's team in office - Annabella and Elaine were always helpful and answered all questions accurately and also returned each and every call I made. on the day of my court appointment, Mr Thomas discussed my case with the prosecutor and he got the best outcome... I was charged with disorderly conduct and was sanctioned for PTI without affecting me legal status. Aqua also did a great job in the court... I was given a new life by Thomas... even million thanks is not enough for him... if you are looking for a best criminal lawyer, look no further...you have arrived at the right place.. hire Thomas immediately and let him handle your case. If I could, I would give Thomas a million star review
