Ultimate professional

Mr Jeffrey Hark did such a great job on my case. I was sideswiped by a tractor trailer in Jan 2017. He was very caring and concerned. He was able to get my case settled in 9 months. I highly recommend him and his firm. October 2 2017 Thank you very much.

Just hired this guy and he is great

I was referred by a family friend to Jeff. He met me immediately, was really direct and straight forward and told me what I had to to for me and my case. I'm writing this review only because how impressed with him I was. Although he is the first lawyer i ever used, I really feel like I'm in good h...ands. I was almost killed in a car crash with a commercial truck and my family finally feels like we are headed in the right direction. I really have confidence in mr hark and feel comfortable and safe. His office staff is really on top of me and communicates with us regularly. They are doing a great job.

Best Phone Call Ever Made (JSH esq.)

When I got into my Trucking accident in New Jersey 2015,and with me being from out of state I needed an Attorney from that area who knew the laws etc.So I randomly goggle some lawyers in that area and for some unknown reason Jeffery Hark caught my attention.So. I gave him a call and explain my situ...ation.And his exact words were "This is the Best phone call you could have ever made.And the rest is History.The process was long and stressful and even when I wanted to give up/quit Jeff keep assuring me it's going to be well worth the wait.And believe me it was.So my family and I want to thank Jeffery Hark and his Staff etc ,for all of their support during my time of hardship and despair.So to Hark and Hark ,Thanks 4r all ur hard work Jeff.

Workers Comp and Personal Injury Claims

Jeff has been representing me since June 2014 when I was involved in a catastrophic truck crash. He's presently representing me for the Worker's Compensation and third-party case against the other driver that drove into oncoming traffic with a loaded triaxle dump truck and struck my dump truck. T...his guy is the real deal. Whenever I have a question or need assistance regarding anything involving my two cases or a personal matter, he is always right there at the other end of the phone. If I'm up in the middle the night worrying about my case or worrying about my treatment or worrying about temporary disability benefits, I email him or text him knowing that he will contact me first thing in the morning. There are many days that he stops by my house when he's been on the way to Court to answer my questions in person, meet with my family, and help me through this very traumatic time. He also doesn't take any BS. He knows when I have missed doctors appointments, have not been going to therapy, and when I'm not doing what I am supposed to be doing. He can read between the lines and between my words all the time. He makes every effort to get me back on track, give me hope that I'll be able to get back into a truck and hope that we will arrive at a resolution that will get my life back in order. His office is on the ball regarding almost every doctor's appointment, every Court event, every legal aspect of the Worker's Compensation and personal injury case. They are constantly in touch with me and also very approachable, helpful, courteous, professional and downright my new best friends. I know if I have a question I can call Jeff and his staff and if they don't have the answer right then and there, they'll have an answer by the end of the day. I have recommended Jeff to many friends for criminal, civil and Worker's Compensation cases because I know how well, how thorough and how completely he has been representing me and my cases even if they are not done yet. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you need an attorney Jeff Hark at Hark & Hark is the guy to go to, without a doubt.

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."
