Minor with Criminal Charges

Jeff Hark and his entire staff handled representing my daughter in court. She is a minor with criminal charges which required her to have legal counsel. Their office set-up a very easy and painless payment schedule for the fees. Mr. Hark went above and beyond to represent her best interests and fight... her for every step of the way while keeping me (the parent) calm and informed during all steps of the process. I would highly recommend his firm for anyone needing services.

Above my expectations

Mr. Hark recently settled a case for my son who was bit by a dog in Camden. I found Mr. Hark after reviewing his website on my cell phone while in the emergency room crying. Mr. Hark met me immediately, and commenced his investigation and handling of our case. Not only did he find the property o...wner, his investigator found and conducted a thorough and complete examination of the property in question, met our family at our property nearby, and communicated with me on a regular basis. Within seven months the case was settled for a substantial amount of money that will help put my son through college when he turns 18. My husband cannot believe how successful we were in resolving this case as quickly as we did. He had another attorney represent him for a personal injury matter that went on for years and years and eventually settled for a little bit or no money. Mr. Hark communicated with me on a regular basis, assisted our family in obtaining the psychological counseling and services my son desperately needed, plastic surgery consult he desperately needed, and ultimately became a family friend. Whenever I called, he was available, answered all of my questions, and made me feel secure and taken care of. He made sure all the medical bills were paid and the ultimate settlement was in our family's best interest. I fully intend to recommend him to any of my friends or coworkers if and when they are looking for an honest, dependable, straightforward attorney who will absolutely work for their benefit.

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.

A top of the line lawyer at an amazing price

I want to start this review by saying i dont really ever do reviews on anything, but in this perticular case i felt the need. I got into trouble a little under a year ago in a DUI situation in the Toms River area and i was in a bind. I never really got into trouble to this degree before and knew i ne...eded alot of help. I looked around for a bit online but im not one of those computer saavy guys, to be honest i scrolled through and seen Mr Harks biography, and i just called him hoping this would be my guy. I got extremely lucky, i DO NOT RECOMMEND this approach, which is part of the reason im writing this. I called Mr Hark and he asked me some basic questions about my incident and gave me a price, a very good price. He was also extremely flexible with me being in an extremely tight money situation. Mr Hark worked on my case for almost a year, fighting tooth and nail and overturned my DUI charge (which usually never happens). DO NOT SHOP FOR THE CHEAPEST LAWYER. I have friends who paid for "discount" lawyers and are paying for it now with a 7 month DUI. Dont be that guy, pay for a lawyer who will fight for you, you'll save thousands later. Mr Hark has a customer for life. (But hopefully i never need him again!) Thanks again

Best Attorney Around ... Hands Down!

I'm sitting at my computer looking at a settlement check Mr. Hark provided me today for finishing my workers compensation case. I am a school bus driver that was struck by a landscaping truck with a stoned driver. Thank God none of my children were on the bus as I was between runs heading back in th...e early morning 3 -1/2 years ago. Although it took a while, I know Mr. Hark did everything he could to represent me against the landscape company, the driver who was criminally charged, and my own Worker's Compensation insurance company. I had lots of problems with my neck, back and shoulders as a result of the accident and Mr. Hark did everything he could to make sure I got all of the possible treatment. Mr. Hark always answered my calls, stayed on top of everything and never made me feel uncomfortable about even the smallest question me or my family had about my cases. When it came time to settle the cases he made sure that I got the best result, The Worker's Compensation lien was as little as possible, my child support arrearages were all paid off, and my family was taken care of. Thankfully I never lost my job and I'm back at work doing what I love to do, driving kids to and from school as always. I always tell them to stay in school so they don't become a bus driver. At my job we are told about how dangerous school bus driving is and how the drivers on the road are disregarding our yellow lights and red lights more and more every day. I have read about this on Mr. Hark's website because he updates his website about school bus crashes around the State of New Jersey. I'm sure it's not a question of if I'm going to be in another accident but, when I'm going to be in another accident as a school bus driver. Hopefully it never happens but if it does I will absolutely call Mr. Hark right away and get his name out to every parent who's child is on my bus. He took care of me and my family and I know that he can take care you and your family with reliable, professional and excellent legal services.

"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."
