Highest Recommendations

Jeffrey Hark represented me before the Board of Bar Examiners Ethics Committee of the Supreme Court of New Jersey in my application to become an attorney. My case was very complex and Mr. Hark represented me in a very thorough and complete manner, understanding all aspects of my case. Mr. Hark has... tremendous experience preparing cases before the board and representing applicants and attorneys before the board. I felt well prepared for my hearing. Throughout the proceedings Mr. Hark kept me up to date and informed on all important matters. I am very pleased with his legal representation. I give my highest recommendations.

Vincent Volpe

My name Vincent Volpe. I highly recommend Jeffrey Hark. In 2017 I owned a business and was being accused of theft and tax evasion by my business investors. In October of 2017 my business my home were raided by the police my bank accounts frozen I didn’t know what to do I called and made an appointmen...t with Jeffrey Hark he saw me immediately and assured me he would take care of everything. After four years of going back and forth with the prosecutors Jeff had all the charges dropped including the sales tax charges without prejudice. Anytime I called or text Jeff he always answers immediately at 62 years old and taking care of a 24-year-old autistic son and having these serious charges hanging over my head was very hard but every time I talked to Jeff he reassured me that he will take care of everything and he did hopefully I never need a lawyer again but if I do it will be Jeffrey Hark

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)

"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."
