Jeffrey Steven Hark's Reviews

Posted by Dennis | May 09, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

Highly recommended criminal law attorney

I hired Mr. Hark two years ago to take care of serious State and Federal Criminal charges for my son. The charges were awful and the prospect for any meaningful success was poor. Mr. Hark handled the matter as best he could for us because no matter how things turned out, everybody was going to lose.... I'm writing this review to address how well Mr. Hark tried to help our son. He always communicated with us regarding any developments, good or bad. Jeff was as sensitive as possible with me and as compassionate as possible with my family. He always gave me the opportunity to talk and communicate with him our concerns and worst fears. His empathy and concern for our well-being, as well as our son's well-being, came across during every phone call and every meeting. Jeff never gave up on my son for us during this excruciatingly difficult two year period. After my son plead guilty in Federal Court, Jeff was still fighting for justice and a modicum of success in State Court; which we were able to secure very recently. I would highly recommend Mr. Hark for any civil or criminal matter. He worked with us regarding payment terms and has helped me and my wife through the worst. I am confident Jeff would be able to help anybody reading this review. We knew we could not win our son's case, but the manner in which we proceeded and the sensitivity with which Mr. Hark helped us made circumstances just a little easier to handle.

Top notch criminal law attorney!

I hired Mr. Hark for a serious criminal matter involving my ex-husband. I had previously used a public defender who was attempting to talk me into a state prison term of jail. Not only would this affect my children and my freedom, but I would also lose my nursing license with a criminal conviction o...n my record. Mr. Hark met with me whenever I needed to discuss the case, communicated with me regularly about the development of my case, made me feel at ease about the case, and ultimately got the entire case dismissed and thrown out of Court. A Judgment of Dismissal was entered on the day we were scheduled to begin Trial! Mr. Hark believed in me, he believed in the facts of my case and he believe that my husband was attempting to use criminal charges as a means to get at me, my children and my job. I am fortunate now to have a lifelong attorney in Mr. Hark. I have the utmost confidence in his abilities and communication skills. He was also willing to enter into a payment plan that worked for my budget. Mr. Hark's staff was always responsive to my needs and made me feel comfortable whenever I called or needed to schedule an appointment. I know I sound like many of the other reviews here on AVVO but they too are the truth and reflect Mr. Hark's flexibility, passion and commitment to helping his clients in times of great personal difficulty. I would highly recommend Mr. Hark to anyone that finds themselves facing legal issues!

An Attorney that truly works for his clients!

Jeffrey Hark has been my attorney since the late 1990s. He represented me and my sister on a personal injury claim that resulted from a serious motor vehicle crash. Our personal injury claims were resolved in an expeditious manner and the end result was more than we ever expected. Most recently, J...effrey Hark represented me for two Workers Compensation cases. I found Mr. Hark to be extremely knowledgeable in this area and I was very comfortable with him handling these claims. Mr. Hark and his staff always kept me completely updated on any claims he is handling for me. Mr. Hark or a member of his staff always made themselves available to speak me when I called or stopped in with a concern. At this time my two Workers Compensation claims have been successfully resolved and the end result for each claim was more than satisfactory to me. Mr. Hark made the process from start to finish an easy one. I consider Mr. Hark as my attorney whenever I need his services. He's definitely the lawyer to consult when you find yourself requiring legal services!

Workers Comp and Personal Injury Claims

Jeff has been representing me since June 2014 when I was involved in a catastrophic truck crash. He's presently representing me for the Worker's Compensation and third-party case against the other driver that drove into oncoming traffic with a loaded triaxle dump truck and struck my dump truck. T...his guy is the real deal. Whenever I have a question or need assistance regarding anything involving my two cases or a personal matter, he is always right there at the other end of the phone. If I'm up in the middle the night worrying about my case or worrying about my treatment or worrying about temporary disability benefits, I email him or text him knowing that he will contact me first thing in the morning. There are many days that he stops by my house when he's been on the way to Court to answer my questions in person, meet with my family, and help me through this very traumatic time. He also doesn't take any BS. He knows when I have missed doctors appointments, have not been going to therapy, and when I'm not doing what I am supposed to be doing. He can read between the lines and between my words all the time. He makes every effort to get me back on track, give me hope that I'll be able to get back into a truck and hope that we will arrive at a resolution that will get my life back in order. His office is on the ball regarding almost every doctor's appointment, every Court event, every legal aspect of the Worker's Compensation and personal injury case. They are constantly in touch with me and also very approachable, helpful, courteous, professional and downright my new best friends. I know if I have a question I can call Jeff and his staff and if they don't have the answer right then and there, they'll have an answer by the end of the day. I have recommended Jeff to many friends for criminal, civil and Worker's Compensation cases because I know how well, how thorough and how completely he has been representing me and my cases even if they are not done yet. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you need an attorney Jeff Hark at Hark & Hark is the guy to go to, without a doubt.

Above my expectations

Mr. Hark recently settled a case for my son who was bit by a dog in Camden. I found Mr. Hark after reviewing his website on my cell phone while in the emergency room crying. Mr. Hark met me immediately, and commenced his investigation and handling of our case. Not only did he find the property o...wner, his investigator found and conducted a thorough and complete examination of the property in question, met our family at our property nearby, and communicated with me on a regular basis. Within seven months the case was settled for a substantial amount of money that will help put my son through college when he turns 18. My husband cannot believe how successful we were in resolving this case as quickly as we did. He had another attorney represent him for a personal injury matter that went on for years and years and eventually settled for a little bit or no money. Mr. Hark communicated with me on a regular basis, assisted our family in obtaining the psychological counseling and services my son desperately needed, plastic surgery consult he desperately needed, and ultimately became a family friend. Whenever I called, he was available, answered all of my questions, and made me feel secure and taken care of. He made sure all the medical bills were paid and the ultimate settlement was in our family's best interest. I fully intend to recommend him to any of my friends or coworkers if and when they are looking for an honest, dependable, straightforward attorney who will absolutely work for their benefit.
