Amazing lawyer that knows the system and is well respected

After I got a DUI my friend recommend MR. Blauvelt. My DUI involved a very high BAC and 5 tickets. I had many questions and Tom guided me through the process and answered all my questions. When we finally got the discovery from the state police, Tom found that the machine did not operate correctly... and was able to get the BAC thrown out. I was looking at a year suspension and an interlock device for 7 months but Tom was able to get me the best possible outcome. I lost my license for 90 days and do not have to get an interlock. If you need a great, knowledgeable lawyer to help you with DUI or traffic related problems, Tom is your man

Just call him for your DUI needs already - or read below and decide

I was a NY Driver pulled over for a DUI in Sayreville, NJ by NJ State Police. I performed 5 FST's before being placed under arrest and taken in where I blew a .13. I was facing probable 7 month suspension (which would transfer to NY as well) and high fines. In NJ there is ZERO plea bargaining for ...DUI. I called 7 lawyers, received 7 consultations and never once felt like I found the "right" lawyer, just bored people looking for an easy check in their pocket. I found Tom via this website and honestly thought it was a scam site since he had so many good reviews. I actually called one of the lawyers listed as an endorser and he said "you are choosing the best of the best - tell him I say hello". I called Tom and he told me how he loves State Police cases since they tend to overlook things. The thing with DUI's in NJ is you need to find the hole in the case - and pick away at it until there's nothing holding your case firm - then you get the prosecutor or Judge to cut back the charge or at best, dismiss it. No one else told me this. I asked him how much. His cost was so much more reasonable than the others that I actually called back and asked if that was only half. Throughout the case, I had a ton of questions - Tom would email me back sometimes within minutes of my emails - if not than within the hour. I had THREE different phone numbers to contact him at. He led me through step by step what his plan is, and what his backup plan is. He didn't mind repeating himself to me or explaining it to me more deeply so I could understand it better. This man is passionate about what he does - he knows the law like no other - he knows how to find the hole in the case and pick away at it until it falls apart. This man is good - real good. My DUI was dismissed due to lack of evidence - State Police never provided requested evidence. Tom took that base hit turned it into a Home Run. Your mileage may vary - there may be a rock solid case against you and for that no lawyer in the State can help you. But if you want the best shot, Tom is the one you want.

OUT OF STATE CASE- DWI CASE DISMISSED

Tom got my case dismissed and I did not even have to appear in court! He is very knowledgeable and always kept me informed about my case and any time I had a question he answered it very quickly! I did not know where to begin to get this matter resolved, but after talking with Tom and giving him my... information, he handled everything for me without any problems. I would highly recommend Mr. Blauvelt to anyone needing help with a DWI case. Give him a call- you will not be sorry!!

Municipal Traffic Violation

Tom was consistently thorough and patient while explaining the legal implications of the issues that impacted the decisions involved in this case. His professionalism gave me confidence in his ability to negotiate a settlement with the court that resulted in a conclusion which proved to be the mos...t appropriate and agreeable to me. I hope others are equally fortunate to make use of his services.
