Jeffrey Steven Hark's Reviews

Showing 21 - 25 of 25 reviews | General Knowledge

Posted by Suzanne | August 16, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Reliable attorney

Jeff is a lawyer that is easy to get a hold of and answers phone calls immediately. His knowledge of the law and quickness of his response made everything go very smoothly with our daughters speeding ticket. Her debacle could have ended in many points and higher insurance rates but instead her reco...rd remained clean and our insurance was not affected. I would highly recommend Jeff for any legal issues you may face.

Posted by Angela | February 01, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Animal & Dog Bites

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.

Successful workers compensation claim

I am another school bus driver who was injured on the job and hired Jeffrey Hark to represent me for a Workers Compensation claim. I'm writing this review because I wanted to communicate how pleased I was with Mr. Hark's legal representation. Although he explained to me how limiting the Worker's ...Compensation system is and how frustrating it can be at times when we first met, I never really understood until I was in the middle of everything with two separate claims for the same body part. Regardless of how complicated things seemed to me as an outsider, between the temporary disability benefits, medical benefits and permanency benefits, Jeffrey always took the time to explain things to me so I could understand them. Jeff always took the time to explain everything to me and communicate with me. Obviously, just like all the other reviewers, this guy doesn't sleep. He's either emailing me at 6:30 in the morning or at 10 o'clock at night when he is finally able to stop running from Court to Court. Seriously though, Jeffrey always answered any of my questions, was always accessible, and did his very best to get me the medical treatment I needed for what I consider to be a very debilitating injury. I give him five stars for his access, his congeniality and his straightforward and honest talk.

More on Jeffrey Hark

My dad, Sam Harper, just submitted a review of Jeffrey and I wanted to add a few additional comments as well. First of all, I agree with my dad and all the other reviews of Mr. Hark. Honestly, these reviews are really on point and reflect my family's years of experience and personal service with Mr.... Hark's office. I always feel comfortable calling Jeff to discuss my personal injury matter or any other legal issue which may or may not relate to my case. He always gives me his undivided attention, honest opinion, and professional advice. Sometimes I may just call him and ask about a Supreme Court decision or something that happened in the news and he always treat me like family. I always feel comfortable speaking with Mr. Hark because he doesn't talk down to me, explains everything in a manner I understand, and helps me address the medical issues to make me feel better. I would recommend Mr. Hark to anybody who is looking for a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who will help to make them feel better and take the legal issues off of the table. He has always given my family 100% and I know he will give your family 100% to get you the results you are entitled to!

Posted by Jim | June 23, 2015 | Workers Compensation

We are still in the middle of my case

I transferred an old workers comp file to Mr. Hark a few years ago. Since the day I walked into Mr. Hark's office, Jeffrey has listened to my needs, personally communicated to me regularly, either through his staff over the phone, unannounced visits to his office or email. He has provided me with ac...curate, honest, direct and meaningful guidance for what appears to be my career ending work place injury. I felt it important to write a review today while my case is pending based on the employer's orthopedic doctor's recommendations to me. Jeffrey's recommendations and legal counsel were one hundred percent accurate and extremely helpful to me to get the medical treatment I need for my recovery which the employer has denied. Jeffrey is aggressive, aggressive, aggressive. There isn't much more that I can say. I would highly recommend him to anyone who feels their attorney is not working hard enough for them to get the workers compensation benefits (temporary disability payments, medical treatment and permanency award) that they deserve, are entitled to and are not getting through their current 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!"
