The Best Lawyer I've Ever Worked With. Beat 2 DWI Charges.

I was prosecuted for 5 Traffic Violations including a DWI and a DWI Within a School Zone. The penalty for the DWI would have been 1 - 2 years suspended license. Although I was under the BAC limit at 0.07, needless to say, I was extremely worried. I met with Tom and during our first visit, he alre...ady had a map printed out proving that I was NOT within a school zone. He also came up with a winning strategy to get a deal worked out with the prosecution and I was able to beat ALL the DWI charges. Tom was extremely professional and honestly had my best interest at heart. He also kept me aware of the approaching court dates and what specific documents I should provide. Tom also sent me a course to take to reduce the number of points on my license due to the other Traffic Violations. There's a reason Tom has a reputation for being one of the (if not the) best DWI/DUI lawyer in NJ and he proved it to me. I will definitely seek counsel from Tom for all my legal disputes going forward and I will definitely refer him to others that are in similar predicaments. Needless to say it was a pleasure working with him and I was extremely satisfied with the results.

Incredible/DWI Dismissed!

I was facing a charge of DWI after driving home from New York City through New Jersey to Pennsylvania. I looked online and found Mr. Blauvelt. To state it simply: choosing Mr. Blauvelt was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. First of all he is an extremely friendly man and I fel...t that I could trust him with my life. In terms of his professionalism, Mr. Blauvelt exceeds all expectations. You don't have to go through the trouble of dealing with an attorney that is hard to reach, because Mr. Blauvelt makes himself accessible to you at all times. After examining all of the evidence, Mr. Blauvelt seemed sure that my case would be dismissed, and sure enough it was! The greatest outcome possible! If you are seeking an attorney for a DWI, or any legal issue for that matter; I highly suggest, no, BEG you to give Mr. Blauvelt a call, because he will do everything in his power to fight for you in your case. This was my first experience in dealing with a legal offense and I will always give Mr. Blauvelt a call should I or any of my friends or family experience a legal issue in the future.

A true professional and gentlemen.

Mr. Blauvelt represented me when I received my first DUI. It was the worst mistake of my life and the uncertainty pertaining to my situation was slowly eating me away. Tom was able to always keep me at ease and answered every single one of my emails extremely quickly, no matter what day or time it wa...s. On the day of court, Mr. Blauvelt walked in, reviewed my case files, and spoke with the prosecutor. Within several minutes, the persecutor agreed to lower my suspension period considerably and allowed myself to get my life back on track. The whole process took only 30 minutes and for the first time since getting the DUI, I felt relief and it was all thanks to Tom's incredible services. His reputation, relationship with the prosecutor, and professionalism secured my case's final outcome. The best aspect about hiring Tom was that he treats you like a person, not solely as a client. This gentlemen spoke to me with professionalism and concern, understanding my situation and assuring me that my life and career will still go on as planned. He understood that I was very concerned about my job and made sure that I did not have to take any time off to meet with him or go to court. He went above and beyond to work around my schedule and that in itself is worthy of commendation. He did not have to do that, but did so anyway because he understand his clients' situations. Do not think any of these reviews are exaggerating Tom's experience, he is definitly the best of the best. He listens to any concerns you may have and answers them with honestly and reason and will always fight to give you the best possible outcome. He charges a very modest flat flee, especially seeing just what he was able to get accomplished, and will always be available for any questions and concerns. If you are in a difficult situation that requires a good lawyer, Thomas Blauvelt is hands down the most professional and effective lawyer to hire.

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.
