Mr. Tumelty represented Helena Hendricks, who was charged with first degree murder in Atlantic County Superior Court. The defendant faced a number of additional charges, including armed robbery, conspiracy and possession of a handgun for an unlawful purpose. At the conclusion of a jury trial that lasted three weeks, the defendant was found "not guilty" of all charges.

I used Mr. Tumelty in a Municipal Court case. Mr. Tumelty was compassionate and attentive. His professionalism and knowledge of the criminal justice system is second to none. He answered whenever I called him and made me feel like I was his only client. His staff is extremely professional and helpful as well. If you’re in the unfortunate situation where you need an attorney, Mr. Tumelty should be your first and last telephone call to guide you through the criminal justice system at any level. You will not be disappointed with his services and your result in Court.

John Tumelty and his staff have the unique combination of professional experience combined with an open line of communication. They would answer questions and lay out the path to resolving the case before we needed to ask. It was a pleasure dealing with his team.

I first called John Tumelty on a Saturday morning. Even though the answering service said I would hear back from his office within an hour, I didn't believe it. I thought I'd have to wait till Monday. But sure enough, he called me back immediately! John helped us navigate through the entire legal process. He was extremely professional, and his staff was very helpful. We knew we were in good hands during the whole process. AND, most important, John managed to get us the best possible outcome to our case. I recommend him to anyone needing legal help. He's your man!
