Posted by Celeste | May 05, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Criminal Defense

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!

First class criminal law attorney!

I hired Mr. Hark for a serious criminal matter and DWI. Mr. Hark met with me whenever I needed to discuss my case, communicated with me often about the development of my case, made me feel at ease about the case, and ultimately got the DWI dismissed and the criminal charges downgraded to a viola...tion of a town ordinance. This enabled me to avoid having any criminal conviction on my record. I was very lucky to have found and hired Mr. Hark. I truly have great confidence in his abilities and communication skills. His staff was always responsive to my needs and made me feel comfortable whenever I called in or tried to schedule an appointment. He never rushed my case and we went to Court at least 6-7 times to insure the best result for me!!! I know my review sounds like the other reviews here on AVVO, but honestly I had the same experience as all the others. Mr. Hark has a great deal of flexibility, passion and commitment to helping his client in times of great personal difficulty. He understands that I was a good guy in a bad set of circumstances and nothing more. He helped me and did not judge me. I am grateful and recommend him to anyone 100%.

Excellent Criminal Law attorney - extremely aggressive approach

Mr Hark represents me in a substantial criminal legal matter. He has always been honest, direct, straight forward as well as understanding and compassionate. Most importantly, he has always kept me informed of the different options I have as events transpire and change. His fees are always reaso...nable and he is accommodating to my financial needs. Also, he is always available and speaks or meets directly with me and my family. No intermediaries ever! I recommend him highly and will always be indebted to him for the excellent result he worked so hard to get in order to literally save my life.

Municipal, Workers Compensation and Criminal cases

Jeff has represented me for the last seven years on numerous Municipal Court matters, Superior Court criminal matters, and two substantial Worker's Compensation cases. Not only did Jeff keep me out of jail on numerous occasions when I was virtually certain to go to State prison, save my drivers li...cense when I was about to lose my license, but he was able to secure much needed medical treatment for my shoulders and neck at a time when I thought I was going to be totally disabled without health insurance. I had a pretty significant workers comp injury quite a few years back when Jeff started representing me in Municipal Court. When we met he asked me why I was having trouble filling out a form during our initial interview. As a result of his one 5 minute discussion and questioning he opened up and handled the Workers Compensation Case resulting in several hundred thousand dollars in medical treatment, temporary disability benefits, and a very substantial permanency award for my shoulders and neck treatment. Jeff always has been and continues to be accessible by phone, text, email, or through his office. He is always professional, assertive, aggressive and responds to my calls immediately. I have recommended him to numerous family members for personal injury and traffic matters. I have mentioned his name to numerous individuals I have met at physical therapy and doctors offices. My family has been very impressed by the individual attention he has given their cases, respect for their privacy and his aggressive efforts on their behalf. I must add that he has never once discussed any aspect of my case and has continually respected my privacy with my family members regardless of who it is and under what circumstances that they are asking. If you are looking for an attorney that will give you the attention and litigation experience you deserve for your case I strongly recommend you call Mr. Hark to sit down and come to your own conclusions after an initial interview. I am confident that you will walk away excited and looking forward to the benefits of an aggressive, professional, thorough attorney to help you with your case.

Personal injury claim client

Jeffrey has represented me on numerous personal injury and workers compensation claims over the last 20 years. Not only has he represented me personally but he has also represented my lifelong friend for a very serious criminal matter. I'm writing this review today because Jeff has again settled ...a personal injury matter for me and obtain a very successful result against all odds and much to my surprise. He is always open, direct, straightforward and honest with me and my family. My daughter is submitting a review today as well because she was so happy and pleasantly surprised with how easy Jeff is the deal with how straightforward and professionally he handled our personal injury matter quickly ( Settled in less than 9 months!!) and easily. He is always available to speak with me directly, responds to emails, texts and phone calls to him at all hours. He is personable and reliable. I strongly recommend him to anybody looking for an aggressive, honest and responsible attorney to assist them with their personal injury, criminal, traffic or workers compensation case.

"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."
