Exceptional Lawyer, Exceptional Results, DWI charge dismissed!

My father found a local advertisement for Mr. Zavistoski in Edison, NJ. I contacted and hired Mr. Zavistoski to represent me, as I was charged with a DWI. From the very beginning he was knowledgeable on DWI matters and thoroughly explained the case to me. He also accepted and immediately returned eve...ry phone call or email that was sent. That alone really put me at ease and gave me confidence I made the right decision. The case was rather complex, but it played out just the way he said it would. In court Bob demonstrated a command of the legal issues with the prosecutor and the Judge. I was even more impressed when he got the DWI charges dismissed. We are forever grateful and it was worth ten times our fee. Thank you Mr. Zavistoski, you are a shining star in the legal community. I highly recommend you to anyone facing a DWI.

Amazing Attorney

Me and my husband hired Mr. Zavistoski for a DUI that I was charged with last year. He explained very clearly to me what I might be charged with and up against... Well, I was very scared about my outcome, but it so happened the charges were COMPLETELY dismissed. I am beyond happy that we hired Mr. Za...vistoski as my attorney. He helped me out big time! I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! Great person and he is great at his job!

My first DWI and what I was facing

What I was facing due to all the charges I accumulated during this DWI charge, loss of a career because I'm a delivery package driver. Robert Zavistoski was recommended to me by a close family friend. Going into a DWI charge facing a seven month or more loss of license I instantly felt comfortable ...right away as we met to discuss my case and I hired him on the spot. His knowledge and experience in and out of the courtroom was so beneficial to me as he was able to not only get the breath test results thrown out of court but he got my loss of license down to only 3 months and I was able to be reassigned in my company for those three months. Robert Zavistoski is the reason I still have my career and I'm able to retire with my full pension. I strongly recommend this attorney in this review especially with such a direct approach which made me feel more at ease. Thank you so much Robert Zavistoski

He Lied and Misrepresented Me

I hired Mr Zavistoski in November 2018 to represent me in a DUI case. He promised we would meet in his office. We never did. He pushed the date back twice and the third time we met in court; he told me he could not push it back anymore. He made it sound like I asked to push the court dates out. ...He told me because this is my first offence; that I would be given seven months suspension and 6 months interlock device. The judge ordered my license suspended for seven months and interlock device installed during the suspension PLUS six months after. Totaling 13 months. Motor vehicle sent me a notice within 30 days of my suspension stating the interlock device would have to be installed for 13 months AFTER my license were restored. Although Mr. Zavistoski told me that "I would be the first person to ever install an interlock device during suspension", I installed it during suspension anyway (this was my first experience in court in my 53 years of life. I was nervous and did not want compounded issues). After receiving notice from NJDMV stating the interlock device would begin AFTER the restoral of my license; I immediately called this lawyer and he said, "That's a mistake" and said he would fix it for me. I followed up with him several time. He eventually stopped answering my calls. I went before the judge again, alone this time, and was told I would have to take it up with NJDMV. NJDMV is telling me it must be corrected by the courts. This lawyer did not speak in my defense, and he lied about getting the matter fixed. In the end, I will have had the device on my car for a total of 20 months instead of 13 months (I'm paying close to $100/mo and the device is causing mechanical issues). He gave me misleading information, lied to me and did not represent in my best interest. I really regret my decision to use him.
