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!!!!!

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.

Saved our family in terrible predicament.

Because of my teenager son's actions, our family was possibly facing serious legal consequences, on top of expulsion from private school. It was mostly thanks to Jeffrey Hark that I was able to manage myself with confidence and fully aware of what my rights and obligations were. I contacted his offic...e and within an hour, Mr. Hark had called back. Throughout the ordeal-which did not last long- he gave me sound, succinct advice that was straight to the point. We have avoided expulsion and legal proceedings, thanks to contacting Mr. Hark right away, as soon as I knew something was wrong. I cannot recommend him more highly, and from now on, I will trust him with any legal issue, should one arise.

Great

Mr. Hark is extremely professional. He gets back to you when it is extremely important, otherwise he is spending his time working on your case. He does the best he can do for his clients. My case is not over yet, but I am very confident with Mr. Hark as my lawyer.

Working 4 Workers Comp & 3rd Party

Jeff has been on the ball since he was hired. Involved in a major Motor vehicle accident he first straightened out some information that should not have been in court and it never was... During the long fight with workmans comp, he always made sure I had some money coming in somehow and my medical ne...eds were fought for. Opposed to sitting back and doing nothing, as my case is somewhat open/shut with wittnesses, Jeff has worked hard to get me an award HE deems suitable to my prior life as my past life will never be available to me again do to my injuries and psychological conditions. I do not want to write a book here but if it were not Jeff, I would not have gone back to school for a field that I loved prior to my accident - one that perhaps I can do as well as my previous position. Listen - Jeff is a supurb lawyer who keeps you informed, every time I started getting worried about the cases and gave Jeff a call - it seemed like magic because he was in court the day of or before for me and had new news. I highly recommend Jeffrey Hark as your lawyer. My cases are not settled yet but I have every confidence that Jeff will and does have my best interest in mind. With some other lawyers this is an open/shut case where they would settle opposed to fight; I love the fact there is a fighter in my corner.

"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!"
