Attorney Jeffrey Hark

Jeffrey Hark is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. Having never been near a courtroom ever, Jeff guided me deftly through the maze of legal and court complexities. Jeff is smart, kind, empathetic, patient and a great legal strategist. He is down to earth while maintaining a great legal mind. ... In addition, his paralegal team is top notch, highly responsive and kind. I cannot thank Jeff for his outstanding handling of my case. I would go to him with any other legal problems under his purview, that I hope I will never have. My thanks and gratitude, Jeff. ..............JB

If you want a lawyer who is in your corner

Jeffrey Hark took on my son’s case (he was a passenger in a car hit by a 3-time drunk driver) shortly after when my son’s original lawyer bid him adieu in a form letter – two days shy of the two-year date of first taking on the case. After receiving the “it’s been swell” I forwarded your ...case to the court letter from lawyer #1, we had no idea how to proceed. We were like a deer in headlights, a chicken without a head, an ostrich with its head stuck in a hole --- you get the general gist. We seriously thought we were at the end of the road. Jeffrey Hark has been playing catch up on my son’s case since signing on in 2009. Trust me, when I say this is not an understatement. The case has had so many ups and downs; and missed opportunities that I was sure that when my son said we had to meet this really “hard-assed” (my son’s exact words) lawyer who said he would take on his case; my husband and I were like “okay we’ll meet him” and tried to temper our kid’s regenerated belief that maybe the good guy will prevail after all mentality with some realism and (hard earned) skepticism. Jeffrey Hark took on my son’s case even after my husband basically insulted Mr. Hark’s choice of career during our initial “let’s meet the folks” meeting. He took on this case even after realizing he had a client (who because of serious injuries) came with his very own personal assistant/full-time advocate/part-time muscle/Mom. As a family, we have been dealing with this case and everything it entails since 2007. We had just about given up hope of ever seeing it end. When Jeffrey Hark came on board in 2009, we started believing that maybe just maybe as our son said “the good guy will prevail after all.” If you want someone in your corner who will answer your phone calls, doesn’t mind an email every week or so, has your best interest at heart, points you in the right direction and expects you to get your ass in gear and do what needs to be done to get your case moving then make a call to the law office of Hark & Hark and ask for Jeffrey Hark. P.S.: The office staff at Hark and Hark is courteous and extremely helpful (especially Terri)

Jeff Hark is a fabulous attorney!

If you should ever need a Lawyer check out Jeffrey Hark. He is not your typical Lawyer that's about money, he is about justice . His witty sense of humor allows you to relax while talking with him, but the entire time he is taking notes to build your a concrete case. Hark has been there for me since... Day 1. He knows what he is talking about and is very professional. Hire Jeff Hark, he will get the job done.

The man

This guy is the best lawyer I've dealt with in my 57 short years. He delivered on everything he said he was going to deliver. He got me medical treatment he got me temporary disability benefits and he got me a permanency award that was like a six-run grand slam. My wife found Mr hark after reviewing ...his reviews. She didn't believe all of them as first however after representing us for a year-and-a-half every one of these reviews is 100% accurate. He calls, he texts, he emails, and he stays in touch with us. His secretaries are amazing but when we have questioned he is the one that calls us back and gives us the answers and makes us feel but he is really concerned. He really is all about customer service and making us feel like we are being taken care of the way a lawyer should. I'm not even going to tell you how well we did with the settlement either.

Great workers comp attorney

Mr. Hark represented me for a Worker’s Compensation incident that took place in 2013. He did amazing representing me all these years. He fought for me and got me the best settlement at the time. Once the case was closed he then kept in touch with me and we reopen the file five years later in order to... secure me additional medical treatment and were an additional recovery for my increased pain and discomfort.

Once the case was closed he then kept in touch with me and we reopen the file five years later in order to secure me additional medical treatment and were an additional recovery for my increased pain and discomfort. I always knew what was going on with the case and he always communicated with me in a calm professional knowledgeable manner. I always felt that he was on top of everything and knew exactly what to do. This made me feel secure and taken care of. We’re going to be putting the second settlement through shortly and I know if I ever call Mr. Harkey would be happy to help me for any legal matter in the future. I didn’t find Jeffrey after reading the reviews because I was referred by a friend. And I usually don’t write reviews however, after reading all of these reviews and experiencing how Mr. Hark represented me I can absolutely say that all of these reviews are 100% accurate and on point. He makes an absolute effort to keep me informed and understand every twist and turn of New Jersey is Workmen’s Compensation system.
