About:

My name is Thomas Carroll Blauvelt and I am a lawyer since 1993. I am a former municipal prosecutor for 15 towns, and a former municipal public defender. During my 30 years as a lawyer I take great pride in everyone who calls or comes in my office gets my personal attention! I keep my office small for that reason. You will not be handed off to someone here. When you hire me you will speak with me and be treated with respect. Whether you have a New Jersey DWI or criminal charge, or traffic tickets anywhere in NJ that could result in a revoked license or CDL suspension, I assure you that you will communicate with me directly. NJ Domestic Violence cases are also a large part of my practice whether it is a harassment complaint with a temporary restraining order, or an aggravated assault arrest that requires a pretrial detention hearing. When I was a municipal prosecutor, I often saw firsthand when people hired a lawyer only to be surprised when someone else ended up representing them in court. That will not happen here. I will personally handle your case. So if you or anyone you know is arrested for drug possession or theft offenses in New Jersey, charged statewide with Drunk Driving, DUI, Refusal to Submit to an Alcotest, traffic tickets, CDL violations, or was served with a NJMVC license suspension notice, call and speak with me now! I am here to speak with you anytime! Callers are often surpised when I answer my own phone - even on the weekends! From 2015 - 2023 I have been selected every year to the Super Lawyers listing service. In addition, Avvo.com has rated me a 10/10 with over 350 five star reviews. Google has over 147 five star reviews for me. My thousands of satisfied clients speak for themselves. Please call and speak with me now 7 days a week. My staff speaks English and Spanish. Don't risk your driver's license, freedom or immigration status. I will keep out of jail and on the road! Tom

Mr. Barkerone

"I have social anxiety and it took me 4days to return a call for help.... my anxiety left from the calmness and the positivity in Mr. T.C. Blauvelt and his kind staff.. Do not allow court cases to harm your mental and stress you out for months+, hire Mr. Blauvelt. He has seen so many cases in ~30 years, you have no idea how much he can help you."

"I had the pleasure of working with Thomas Blauvelt for traffic charges, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. He explained everything clearly, set realistic expectations, and guided me through the entire process. Thanks to his expertise and counsel, my case was resolved favorably, and I got the best outcome I could have hoped for. If you have a traffic-related matter, I strongly recommend contacting Thomas Blauvelt. You will not be disappointed!"

"Very professional!! I was stopped for improper passing and didn’t want any points on my license. At first I hired the cheapest attorney I could find. That proved to be the worst mistake I could ever make. After being rescheduled and stood up on zoom multiple times I asked to be released as their client. I discovered Thomas Carroll Blauvelt and my experience was so much better. They communicated with me throughout the process. I didn’t have to check if they were on zoom for the court session. They were there every step of the way. They communicated what they could do, what my ticket cost would be and executed. Instead of having this ticket linger for a year like my previous lawyer, they wrapped it up in a few months as it should have been to begin with. I would definitely recommend this firm."
