For over 28 years, my firm has protected the rights of the accused and the injured across New Jersey. In that time, I have helped thousands of clients obtain their rightful compensation or resolve criminal matters, and I am determined to do the same for you. I understand how the other side thinks and prepares for their cases.
With experience as a municipal prosecutor, public defender, and insurance company lawyer, I can put my clients at an advantage with exceptional but affordable representation. I know the law, and my representation is thorough and complete. My service is respected in the legal community, and I am often asked to give law school and high school lectures, and teach continuing education classes on municipal court law.

Assault and domestic violence charges are serious crimes. If convicted, you could go to prison. You could also have a restraining order issued against you and your name could be added to the National Domestic Violence Registry. You will also have a permanent criminal record that will shadow you for life.
Drug-related offenses are prosecuted to the full extent of the law in New Jersey. In addition to severe penalties issued by a court, there are collateral consequences that can have a significant impact on your life - such as the loss of your driver's license. With this much at stake, waste no time before you contact an attorney.
I know the criminal justice system from the inside out. Before opening my practice, I worked as both a municipal prosecutor and a public defender. I know the steps the prosecution takes when building a drunk driving case, and I know what it takes to defeat the charges. I don't plead cases out because it's easier.
You've served your time; you should be able to move forward with your life. Unfortunately, long after prison time is served, fines are paid and community service hours accomplished, many people find their status as a criminal offender limits their ability to find a job, go to school, get housing or get a loan.
Criminal charges can derail your life. Depending on the charge involved, you could face possible prison time, large fines, loss of your driver's license and other penalties. If you are an immigrant, the consequences are even more severe. Depending on your immigration status and your criminal charges, you may lose your green card, your work or school visa, and your ability to become a citizen, and you may even face deportation.

PREVENTED HIGHER INSURANCE PREMIUMS! Back in 2016 I had been pulled over by a state trooper on 287. Everyone knows that a state trooper interaction always ends up in a ticket in NJ! Thomas's office has a one-time fee, which is very reasonable because he saved my license! I recommend him to anyone with any traffic case. Don't look further!

I was charged with 4 traffic tickets including a DWI. After consulting with Tom and explaining my situation to him, he instantly made me feel comfortable and reassured me that as long as I was telling the truth to him that he could have many of my charges dismissed. He knew the prosecutor of the township by name and was able to answer any questions I had right away. His response time to emails were incredible and you can expect to hear back from him in a very timely manner. In the end, Tom was able to have 3 of my 4 tickets dismissed including the DWI and I was only charged with a single traffic

I hired Mr. Blauvelt because of his superb reviews and I was not disappointed. From the whole process beginning through end I had nothing to worry about because he made the process so easy. He explained everything professionally and any time I had a question he was available to help. This man is the real deal! I had all my charges dropped and it was all done so professionally and with ease. I would recommend Thomas Blauvelt to anyone that needs an attorney for all legal matters that he handles.

Thomas Blauvelt helped me in my case and he exceeded all of my expectations. He and his team would contact me with every single update regarding my case, which reassured me greatly during this stressful time. Although the courts were backed up due to the pandemic, Thomas did his best to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible. I would definitely recommend him for anyone who is looking for a lawyer. Thank you again Tom and staff!
