Look no further for a GREAT lawyer!

A family member was charged with a DWI and we had no idea what to do. We had no previous experiences with lawyers . I randomly chose Tom Blauvelt and I am so glad I did! At first we didn't see any way out of a bad and hopeless situation and thought the best thing would be to just plead guilty and ...take our lumps. The first thing Tom did for us was to give us that hope that we desperately needed. He calmly took charge, and went to work finding flaws in the breath testing procedures, therefore, flaws in the results of the testing. He skillfully pointed out the weaknesses in other areas of the prosecution. A lesser charge was agreed upon and the dreaded DWI on the driving record was avoided. I would not even consider contacting anyone other that Tom Blauvelt for our future legal needs. I heartily recommend him to family, friends and anyone who finds themselves in need of great legal representation.

Top NJ Lawyer

By far one of the best lawyers in NJ. Experience was apparent from the first consultation and throughout the process. Given that this was the first time I was involved in a legal complaint matter, I was very nervous and worried. However, Mr. Blauvelt answered all my questions and kept me calm. He... was very informative and most importantly, honest. When the court day finally came, he walked in and greeted me. Explained the possible outcomes and assured me everything was going to be fine. Once inside, I was pleased to hear the judge say "Resolved" - "Dismissed" - "Thank you". If you want a great lawyer that gets the job done he is the man to call. Very knowledgeable in a variety of areas.

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.

Best Defense Attorney with strong recommendation

I was charged with DWI with 0.16 BAC, Reckless driving, and bunch of other charges. I selected Mr Blauvelt to represent me based on his strong ratings and referral from friends. He comforted me and did a thorough discovery and fought for me vigorously. He would keep me informed about the progress of ...the case at all times. Ultimately Mr Blauvelt was able to take out the reading from the Report and I got a minor sentence compared to what I was expecting. I highly recommend Mr Blauvelt and his professionalism and experience in dealing with complex cases.
