Posted by David | August 03, 2018 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Wow. The man to hire. No question !!

I was in a heap of trouble with regards to a car crash, alcohol and injuries involving friends that were in the car. Mr. Hark took his time with the case in such a manner to get all of the criminal charges dismissed and have the DWI dismissed. Yes, I said dismissed! Originally the case was up i...n the Superior Court in Mr. Hark did everything he could to get it sent back to the municipal course successfully. From there he took the time never rushed and make sure to protect my interest 100% he always made time to speak with me he always made time to communicate with me I never felt like I didn’t know was going on and he always took my calls. I never spoke with anybody else and his staff I never felt like I was passed off to anybody else. Whenever I called his cell phone which I always had his number, he always answered or called me back immediately This is the guy you need in your corner to represent you. He was more expensive then others but I’m telling you it was worth it!.remember. He took the payment plan I was able to put together because of my budget I will give him 10 stores if I could I would give him 10 Stars I could !!!

I was recently charged in NJ for drug possession in relation to a DUI in 2016. Mr.Hark was able to get the DUI charge dismissed and after enrolling in the PTI program I was granted an early release and the drug charges were dismissed.Mr.Hark was excellent in keeping me updated,getting the charges dis...missed in a timely fashion.I am a professional nurse and was able to maintain my license.I would highly recommend Mr.Hark with any criminal charges.

Just got my DUI thrown out

I hire Jeff after reading a bunch of these reviews. Honestly I was a little skeptical. Everyone seems a little too glowing. However I hired him anyway. I'm walking out of court right now and he just got a pretty serious DUI and dismissed. He charged me a reasonable fee and took care of this case exac...tly the way he said when he met me. I guess all the reviews from everybody else are pretty darn accurate and not to glowing I have another paint case pending and now no mr. Hark will take care of me and do right by me period we're not rushing or taking a time he sent me in the right directions to handle the serious issues I need to address and his staff is very reasonable and helpful as well. All those reviews underneath mine are really accurate I now find it to be the case. I would strongly recommend mr. Hark

best yet in 40 years

Mr. Hark worked so hard for me I cannot believe it. We were just able to get a third offense DUI dismissed on the night of trial. I surely thought I was going to jail for 6 months and losing my license for 10 years. He worked with me every step of the way. I he did whatever payment plan I wanted to... do. He postponed the case forever so we could have our expert come to court. Not one Night Did he Comeleading guilty so he could go home at 10:30 at night. Not one attorney in the last 40 years worked as hard for me as mr. HarK did. I would recommend him to anybody.

DWI CONVICTION

Mr. Hark represented made for a DUI for the last 6 months. I hired him after reading all of the reviews listed below on the internet. Mr.Hark went to court with me numerous times, reviewed all the discovery with me, obtained the experts he promised, and fought with thevprosecutor at every step of... the way. In the end even though I had to plead guilty to the charge, mr. Hark got the refusal charge thrown out, the reckless driving charge thrown out, and was successfully able to have my period of suspension reduced to three months from well over a year. He followed through on everything he told me after our initial meeting and was honest direct and straightforward with me. Losing stinks but Mr Hart helped minimize the damage as much as possible and helped me understand how this was the best of a worst-case scenario. I would highly recommend Jeffrey Hark for anybody in a similar circumstance as myself looking at losing my job, losing my CDL, losing my profession.

"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."
