“My 18-year-old son was facing DWI, reckless driving, resisting arrest and assorted other charges. Mr. Blauvelt got everything reduced to essentially a parking ticket. No points or loss of license. He was absolutely wonderful in allaying our anxieties and was astonishingly prompt in returning emails, even after hours. His fee was so reasonable and I would recommend him to anyone facing a serious driving-related charge.”
— Ellen

From the very beginning, I received direct, one-on-one support from a highly skilled criminal defense attorney who was fully invested in my case. His level of professionalism is unmatched, and his strategic thinking—both in problem-solving and defense positioning—was genuinely impressive. Thomas approaches every detail with precision, clarity, and confidence, while also showing real compassion and understanding during an incredibly stressful time. I cannot thank Thomas enough for his professionalism, dedication, and exceptional service. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking the highest level of legal representation."

Criminal Defense and Traffic Ticket Lawyer in New Jersey
At the Law Offices of Thomas Carroll Blauvelt, LLC, I believe that every client deserves a hands-on attorney they can depend on. Whether you're facing a traffic violation, a DWI charge, or a disorderly persons offense, I provide the kind of personal, focused representation that makes a real difference in the outcome of your case. When you call, you get me, not a runaround.
Experienced Municipal Court Advocate In New Jersey
I'm a New Jersey traffic ticket lawyer with over three decades of experience in municipal courts across the state. With my experience, I understand that even a seemingly minor traffic citation can lead to consequences that add up quickly: points on your license, surcharges, and increased insurance premiums.
For anyone facing a license suspension hearing, the stakes aren't just financial. They are personal too. A suspension touches every part of your daily life: getting to work, picking up your children, running errands, or even keeping a job that requires driving.
That's why I approach every case, regardless of the charges, with the same level of preparation and commitment.
Strong Strategies Built From Years of Prosecution and Defense
The key to building a strong defense is understanding how the prosecution thinks. As a former municipal prosecutor and public defender, I bring insight from both sides of the courtroom to every case. Whether you need a criminal defense attorney to represent you in court or a traffic ticket lawyer to handle your license suspension hearing in New Jersey, my dual perspective allows me to anticipate challenges and pursue the most favorable resolution.
I Help You Protect What Matters Most
A criminal charge, even at the disorderly persons level, can impact your record, your employment, and your future. For juvenile offenders, the consequences can have long-lasting effects on their future.
I provide thorough representation for clients facing municipal court matters, helping to minimize the long-term effects of charges on your life. I assist clients dealing with DMV suspension hearings, record clearing through the expungement process, and immigration-related concerns arising from criminal charges.
In addition to my criminal defense and traffic ticket practice, I also represent clients who have suffered serious personal injuries due to the negligence of others, pursuing the full and fair compensation they deserve.
Your Free Consultation is Always With Me, Attorney Thomas Blauvelt
I offer all clients a free initial consultation. I will meet with you to help you understand your exposure to penalties, your options for defense, and the costs involved, all before making any commitments. In fact, I handle every case personally from start to finish.
