Mr. Blanch’s legal prowess is evident in his successful handling of both criminal and civil cases across New York and New Jersey. Notably, he argued a case of national significance before the New Jersey Supreme Court, which resulted in the creation of new legal precedent and the eventual dismissal of charges against the defendant in State v. Saavedra.

Since 2004, Mr. Blanch has managed a vast array of criminal cases, including those involving robbery, drug charges, carjacking, sexual offenses, grand and petit larceny, driving while intoxicated, prostitution, juvenile crimes, motor vehicle offenses and theft. Beyond criminal law, he is also a proficient family law attorney, particularly skilled in handling domestic violence cases.

Born in New York City and raised in North Bergen, New Jersey, Mr. Blanch pursued his undergraduate studies in Economics at Rutgers University. His academic journey continued at Seton Hall School of Law, where he earned his Juris Doctorate Degree on a scholarship. During law school, he honed his legal skills at the Essex County Public Defender’s Juvenile Justice Clinic, representing juveniles under the mentorship of Attorney Philip Ross. Here, he successfully advocated for youths facing serious charges such as drug dealing, aggravated assault and carjacking.

Mr. Blanch's legal career commenced with a clerkship in the Bergen County Chancery Division under the Honorable Marguerite T. Simon, where he gained experience in foreclosure, probate, and complex business litigation. Following his clerkship, he joined David Kessler and Associates in Livingston, New Jersey, where he quickly established himself as a formidable litigator, handling trials and appeals and building his own client base.

In April 2004, driven by his passion for criminal litigation and real estate, Mr. Blanch founded his own law office. His journey from a young law student to a respected attorney and firm founder is a testament to his dedication, skill and unwavering commitment to justice.
