HIGHLY RECOMMENEDED!

I had received 4 tickets (which included speeding and a suspended license charge) which would of been a disaster if I took care of on my own and probably with another attorney. Mr. Blauvelt did an amazing job on getting them reduced and dismissed. I may have to spend some money on fees but in the lon...g run it is and was worth it to hire Mr. Blauvelt. He is extremely professional but with an added sensitivity, which most attorneys lack. His assistant, Rusheena, was extremely kind and very attentive as well. I not only recommend him highly, but if ever needed (hopefully not lol) would hire in a second.

Great experience, highly recommend!

I was so fortunate to find Tom. I had a series of bizarre events that led my insurance to lapse, and was ultimately pulled over and ticketed. It was how I found out about the lapse! Once I realized I couldn't take this on by myself, I did a lot of research, spoke to a lot of attorneys. I chose To...m and am so glad that I did. I was faced with losing my license for a year, points on my record, and large fines. Tom was forthright, knowledgeable, clear, and above all, very kind. He not only kept me calm and organized for my court date, but the results I got were even better than I hoped: my tickets were reduced to $0, no points on my license, and I paid nothing but court costs. I could not recommend him any higher.

motor vehicle violation

my attorney was very professional and worked very hard on my case which had several unusual and complicated circumstances.His knowledge of the law kept me from having to suffer the most severe fines and penalties regarding my driver's license.His representation of my case was greatly appreciated.

Edison, NJ - DUI Case

This past April, I was charged with a DUI with 0.18 BAC, failure to maintain lane, reckless driving and driving to close to the vehicle in front of me. In other words, I was pretty much looking at 7 months without my license, an interlocking device hooked up to my car for the following 6 months, fine...s up the wazoo, and I don’t even know how many points on my license. After doing some research online, I found Mr. Blauvelt on avvo.com and was quite impressed with all his positive reviews, especially for DUI/DWI cases. I decided to reach out to him and boy what a smart decision that turned out to be. Instantly, I knew I had picked the “right” lawyer by just the questions he was asking me in the free consultation. Instead of explaining me his fees and the fines I was facing, he was trying to learn about every minute detail of that night, hoping to find any mistake(s) that the state trooper may have done Ultimately, Mr. Blauvelt was able to get my BAC reading removed from my case, dropping my penalty to a much less severe punishment (90 days suspension vs. 7 months suspension + 6 months interlocking device). He and his expert had found an error in the breathalyzer report, which made my reading questionable. In addition, Mr. Blauvelt was able to get my other three tickets dismissed. I high recommend Mr. Thomas Blauvelt not only for his professionalism and expertise, but also for his devotion and willingness to help his clients. Thank you again Tom.

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!!!
