Best Choice I've Ever Made

It is finally over! The Worker's Compensation case that changed my life is finally over. I'm writing a review for Jeff because he helped get my life back together and helped me move on with my family. This guy is a fighter you definitely need in your corner. He fought for the best medical treatment... for me, continued temporary disability benefits, additional medical treatment, and ultimately achieved the best results for my circumstances. I had another attorney previously but never felt like they worked hard enough for me and tried to get me the best results. I switched to Mr. Hark after reading reviews about him and getting recommended to him by someone. Jeff took my calls at all hours of the day, helped my wife be less scared and got me back on my feet. I'm sure I'm going to need Mr. Hark in the future because I will have the need to re-open my case in the future. I will definitely turn to Mr. Hark as I know he will not back down and roll over against the insurance companies who wanted to stick it to me. I know I have a lot of ego and though I was a tough guy. Jeff stood up to me and redirected me and my family in the best direction. He help me get back on my feet physically, medically, emotionally and psychologically. He also stood up to the insurance company and stopped them from trying to take advantage of me and my family. I would recommend Jeff for any Workers Comp or Civil case you have. If you are not happy with your current attorney and do not think they are doing enough for you as I did two years ago, switch to Mr. Hark because he will absolutely work for you and get you the best results the same way he did for me and my family. I am glad I switched!!!!!

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.

Client of Mr Hark

Client of Mr. Hark. He worked very diligently with the Prosecuter to not only save my drivers liscence but get all charges totally dismissed. Reviewed my medical records and found out I was not having seiures as first thought but suffered brain injury from previous MVA.

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!

"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!"
