Honest direct reliable and so professional

Mr. Hark was an amazing lawyer. He fought very hard for me and never took no for an answer when it came to my case. Mr. Hark was informative and always explained my options and the process for each court hearing. I would recommend him to everyone. He is worth every penny and goes above and beyond for... his clients. He even has the best and most supportive staff and you never feel like he’s to busy to answer any questions you have. He’s also really knowledgeable in law.

Keil: I wish you the best s you move on to the next chapter in your life and put this chapter behind you!!! You should be proud of your accomplishments!! Thanks for taking the time to write a review for me! I know you don't live in New Jersey and I know you dont want to EVER come back to New Jersey. For all those that are reading this. I handle a great number of criminal cases involving peole who do not live in New Jersey but at one point or another in their lives, have come to New Jersey, and end of with criminal charges. I also represent a great number of former New Jersey residents who have move away. However, they left before addressing outstanding criminal and traffic issues. Regardless, we are able to help you address these old long outstanding traffic and criminal matters pending in all traffic courts, and all superior courts. We will get you the best results possible while trying to get you to come back to New Jersey as FEW times as possible. Please feel free to call us and talk about any and all outstanding tickets or criminal charges you may have and I am sure we can help you too put your past behind you in a meaningful and successful way, just as we did for Keli!

One of the Best!

I think Jeffrey Hark is a great attorney. He is straight to the point and he gets the job done. Mr. Hark has represented me in several different matters including workers compensation claims and most recently a slip and fall incident at a store location on ice build-up. We are currently in litigat...ion and I am very impressed with Mr. Hark's services.

The very best by far!

I hired Jeffrey Hark to represent me for a very serious, terrible accident that involved the death of my son. I agree with all the other reviews about Mr. Hark both professionally and personally. I just want to add a few of my own comments so people really understand the amazing, sensitive and profes...sional attorney you can deal with. Honestly, there were many days that I called Jeffrey crying because of the type of case we were working on together. He always provided me with his full attention, the utmost humility and patience. He and his staff gave me a reassured feeling that he was taking care of everything. Honestly, I couldn't handle anything and he did everything for me to make me feel better. I never was worried about Mr. Hark working on my file or where we were in the litigation process. Not only did he keep me informed at every stage, he always sent me paperwork to keep me informed and knowledgeable of where we were every step of the way. When we spoke, which was often, Jeffrey always communicated with me directly, honestly and in a very professional manner. Whether I emailed him, his secretary or his paralegal, I always got a response either first thing in the morning, by the end of the day or a phone call immediately. I didn't have to do anything and never worried about the outcome because I had such confidence in Mr. Hark's ability. Unfortunately, the tremendous success we achieved in the Courtroom will never bring my son back, however, I know I have a lifelong friend and attorney I can turn to if ever I need assistance again.

Attorney's attorney!

I am a local trial attorney who was involved in a pretty serious truck crash 18 months ago. When I showed up in Court one day with my arm in a cast Mr. Hark asked what happened to me. After I described the crash, Jeffrey insisted he represent me (and I not represent myself) due to his significant e...xperience handling major commercial truck crashes involving some of the largest trucking companies in the country. He explained to me the seriousness of my case and the manner in which the trucking industry insurance companies and their teams of lawyers will handle my case. He convinced me I needed someone on my side to work for me so I could focus on getting better and getting back to my professional life and family life! Mr. Hark settled a case that has disrupted my professional life, my personal life and my family life in ONLY 18 MONTHS! He communicated with me via phone, email and regular mail almost weekly! I would be updated on the litigation progress, important Court events, doctor's appointments and discovery issues by Jeff personally, his legal assistant and his secretarial staff on such a regular basis, I knew everything they were doing! Although extremely busy with his other substantial criminal, personal injury and workers compensation practices, Jeff always took the time to discuss the serious issues in my case as well as the areas of weakness. Many of the legal issues Jeff brought up, honestly, I would have overlooked. His trial and litigation experience handling other large multi defendant, nationwide trucking company cases truly paid off for me! When we ultimately settled the case, I felt Mr. Hark did the best job for me! The excellent and quick result Jeffrey secured for me was really a result that I would not have been able to obtain, even as a personal injury attorney handling cases in South Jersey. I am really glad I ran into Jeff in Court 18 months ago, and entrusted him with my case! He is really an attorney’s attorney!

"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!"
