About Eric

I believe everyone deserves a chance. Everyone deserves achance to defend himself or herself and explain what needs to be explained. Ihave spent a lot of time overseas and have many friends and family from othercountries. When I describe the opportunity that Americans have to stand up forthemselves, to defend themselves and to challenge the State, my foreign friendsare always amazed and envious. Receiving those reactions, understanding theuniqueness of our justice system, and appreciating those opportunities make meproud to do what I do.

Aftergraduating from Pepperdine University School of Law, I became an AssistantProsecutor in Somerset County, NJ. I handled criminal and juvenile prosecutionsof all natures from the investigation stages through trial. I argued numerouscases in the Appellate Division and submitted briefs to the New Jersey Supreme Court.

Whilea law student I had several eye-opening experiences that helped me gain myappreciation for the law and our justice system. I was a judicial intern to theHonorable Katharine S. Hayden of the Federal District Court in Newark, NJ and Iwas a legal intern at the Ministry of Justice of the State of Israel. Theseplaces showed me people, cases and laws of various philosophies and differentbackgrounds.

Igained my bachelors degree in History and Journalism & Mass Media fromRutgers University, where I graduated the University with Honors and from mymajors with Highest Honors. I rowed varsity crew all four years.

In immigration cases, criminal defense, and drunk driving my clients are often fighting uphill battles. The outcomes can never be guaranteed and all the pressure andstress is on them because they stand to lose the most. For that reason Ihold nothing back. Each client is my most important client. Every client has mycell phone number and can call me at anytime with questions. I have severaloffices and try to accommodate clients by meeting as close to their homes orbusinesses as possible, and on days and at times where they will not have tomiss work.

Ihave the legal knowledge, courtroom presence and relentless work ethic toprovide you with the representation you need in a personable manner so thatyour experience with the legal system is as painless and as successful aspossible.

Review Eric M. Mark

A real lawyer!!

5.0 stars

Posted by Kelly

I found myself in a civil case that went political as per my first lawyer. Lawyer one then became unresponsive with a case I should have gotten a not-guilty 100% Eric mark saw the damage lawyer number one was doing took my case secured my ability to fire lawyer number one. Eric mark with a judge's approval fired lawyer number one . Eric mark went into damage control secured me not dismissal but not guilty of over 90% of the charges against me. Eric mark does not look at the politics he looks at the case and does his job , he's not a big talker he executes . had I secured Eric mark first verdict would have been 100% not guilty easy. I recommend Eric Mark.

Got the green card!!

We hired Eric for a green card application for my husband. Eric was very helpful and knowledgeable regarding our specific situation, which was kind of complicated. Eric knew how to handle it and he was responsive throughout the application process, making it easy for us. We had our interview on August 11th, and Eric helped us understand what to expect and was very reassuring. He was there with us for the interview and interjected when we were asked questions that weren't very fair, which was important. Everything went great and we got the green card! Took about 8 months until we got the card after applying, so actually way faster than we expected. Thanks so much Eric! We are SO happy and relieved, and we would highly recommend him to others.

Won a difficult deportation case!

Mr. Mark just helped my wife win her deportation case. Instead of being removed from the country, my wife is in line to get her green card! We hired Mr. Mark based on recommendations from a Rutgers law professor. What we realized immediately was his integrity -- he wanted to know the truth and only the truth. Another trait he has is intellectual curiosity -- last year there was a negative ruling on a similar case. Instead of feeling dejected, Mr. Mark became excited to fight the system. He and his team set up strategies to build up my wife's case. And when opportunities showed up during the hearing, he captured them as a master! How grateful we are for his excellent work! Mr. Mark's fees are very reasonable. We have hired and consulted with other lawyers, both in the NJ area and in other parts of the country. We felt we got a Mercedes for the price of a Honda! To show our appreciation, we paid him extra as a bonus! I would recommend Mr. Mark to my friends. If you are in need of a good immigration lawyer, go talk to him!

Eric M. Mark's response: Thank you for the review. I guess after several years of working together you got a pretty good read on me. Honesty and intellectual curiosity is a pretty good summary. I appreciate that greatly.
