One in a million

This is my second round with Jeffrey Hark. From day one he was aggresive, compassionate, and knowledgeable with my auto accident cases. I never felt uneasy or bothered with any challenges, as he pursued the obstacles effectively. His staff, Nancy and Terry represent him with the highest level of cus...tomer service. I am grateful to have Mr. Hark represent me, and will continue to refer him to everyone I can. Don't waste time shopping around, he will take care of your legal needs. Best wishes to you and your staff.

Personal Injury Claim Review

I am writing this review to let everyone know about the excellent job Mr. Hark did for me. Late one night I was crossing the street and was struck by a vehicle causing significant injury to my leg. Mr. Hark took the time to come to my house soon after I got out of the hospital to meet with me an...d my girlfriend. Yes, I said he makes house calls. From that moment on I knew I was in good hands. He emailed me regularly and communicated with me through his staff almost weekly. He also personally spoke with me and sent me letters asking me about my medical status so he was informed on a regular basis regarding my progress and eventual discharge. I was pretty impressed with his hands on approach and attention to my details and individual circumstances. After we settled with the driver who struck me and attempted to leave the scene, Mr. Hark was able to obtain additional settlement funds from a resident relative policy in my house. I was totally unaware of this possibility and was pleasantly surprised. Not only did Mr. Hark handle this claim and get me the most available money possible, he did so in less than seven or eight months from the date of loss. I have plenty of friends and acquaintances who are always complaining about how long the legal process takes, how unfair the process is and how their lawyer is not doing this or not doing that for them!! I've got to tell you right now, I can't say that about Mr. Hark. He handled my case professionally, quickly and to my complete satisfaction. I always knew what was going on. He always talked to me after my doctors appointments and discharge. He was very effective with the insurance companies and even gave me a hard time when I didn't do what he asked me to do. Essentially he wasn't taking any BS from anybody, including me!!! I hired Mr. Hark after reading the reviews and looking at his website. Initially I was a little skeptical that all the reviews sounded the same. However, after dealing with Mr. Hark firsthand, I realize all the reviews are 100% accurate and honest. I too recommend Mr. Hark 100% and give him five stars for his effort and excellent results he provided me. I am now able to move on with my life. I know if I have any criminal, Worker's Comp. or personal injury issues in the future I will definitely be calling him and recommending him to all of my family and friends.

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.

Great Lawyer

I actually obtain Mr. Hark twice and I would like to point out that he did a spectacular job in both incidents. One incident was an worker's compensation in which the verdict ended in my favor and the other was a driving situation that I can say ended marvelously. Through Mr. Hark and his team workin...g very diligently and carefully findimg the truth and gathering all information I was able go keep a smile on my face and once again shake this Gentlemans hand in satisfaction. He is by far a great man through business and a caring man outside of business. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone with legal issues or anything in the lawyers experienced area's should definitely be obtained because he wont upset you. Thanks again Mr. Jeffrey Hark and to your great assistants.

"I have known Jeffrey Hark for over twenty years and he is one of the top attorneys in South Jersey. Any client of mine that has a criminal or personal injury matter in South Jersey is referred to Mr. Hark. And, I always get positive feedback regarding his representation. Whether it's protecting the constitutional rights of the criminally-accused or seeking compensation for someone injured due to the negligence of another, I know that Jeffrey Hark is the zealous advocate you want standing next to you in the courtroom. If a loved one of mine was charged with a crime in South Jersey, I would hire Jeffrey Hark. I can give no higher praise to a fellow attorney."

"I have known Jeffrey since 1990. I have referred both criminal and personal injury matters to Jeffrey. The client referrals from my firm to his have been highly satisfied with his work ethic and tenacity. Simply stated, Jeff does not quit until he gets the results clients deserve. He is aggressive and intransigent, when the case requires it. I highly recommend him and his team!"
