AMAZING

I hired Mr. Thomas Blauvelt to resolve a suspended drivers license that had plagued me for 17 years. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical after reading through so many glowing reviews (especially considering he charged a low flat rate fee), I thought to myself... there was no way he's that good, these rev...iews have to be fake or exaggerated. Boy, was I WRONG!!! With the court date now in the rear view mirror, I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Here's a quick summary: 1. Mr. Blauvelt was able to reduce the cost of fines by almost 90%! That alone covered almost the entire amount I spent hiring him!!! 2. With multiple tickets, he worked his magic and I will have ZERO points added to my license. That's going to save me hundreds/thousands $$$$ over the next few years. 3. I didn't even have to appear in court or travel to NJ since I live out of state. Mr. Blauvelt handled everything for me. 4. Every question was answered promptly by him or his staff within a matter of minutes. I even called him once late at night - he called me back immediately and very politely answered all my questions!! WOW! 5. Even AFTER the case was settled he was more than happy to answer all my questions and told me to contact him anytime. Talk about genuine concern!!! Most lawyers would have tried desperately to avoid calls, especially considering the matter had been settled. I am positively floored by his willingness to go above and beyond the call of duty. I almost never write reviews, except in extreme cases where I feel it is my obligation to assuage any doubts in one's mind about whether they should hire him. This is one of of those times. THANK YOU to Mr. Blauvelt and his wonderful team.

What an outstanding defense service we were provided!

In March 2010 me and my wife called Attorney Blauvelt to defend us against a serious charge (9:6-1B) which started in Municipal Court and got quickly escalated to Superior Court. In April 2010 we were already signing into a minimal period of PTI (6 months), which his Law Offices managed to negotiate ...with the prosecutor. In Nov 2015 our case was successfully dismissed and closed without any cost to us. Throughout the defense process Attorney Blauvelt kept us updated, which included several face to face sessions in his office. Given that we were non-U.S. citizens he was very diligent in explaining to us every detail of the law pertaining to our case and the consequences of every motion and decision made. Additionally, his service fees were very affordable, especially given the fact that both me and my wife were International Students at that time without any regular income. Later on when we moved out of NJ to another state, Attorney Blauvelt helped us expunge our arrest records without us even having to appear in NJ. Now after 7 years, we are in the process of adjusting our status to permanent resident in U.S. and quickly finding out that in addition to state laws we must also satisfy the requirements of the Federal Immigration Law. Looking back at our case we are extremely grateful to Attorney Blauvelt and his Law Offices for handling our case in such a manner that we were not convicted not only under NJ state law but also under Federal Immigration Law, because he and his assisting attorney were very careful in making sure that we as non-U.S. citizens did not plead guilty as a condition for being offered a minimal duration PTI program. Had we done so, under the Federal Immigration Law we would have become automatically ineligible for immigration to U.S. He is the real professional and one of the best lawyers in NJ. I would very strongly recommend Attorney Blauvelt and his Law Offices to anyone who is seeking a reliable defense service. PS: Even after 7 years, Attorney Blauvelt is responding to our queries on the past matter and providing invaluable support in our immigration process.

expungement

Due to a youthful indiscretion, I had a misdemeanor on my record, which caused professional inconvenience. I inquired to Mr. Blauvelt about my options. Mr. Blauvelt took care to expunge the misdemeanor. All I had to do was ask, and then pay a very reasonable fee. Easy, and free of the past indisc...retion. Mr. Blauvelt's office took care of the work from A to Z.

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!

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
