Great job

I had a marijuana charge in superior court. Jeff got the case dismissed to municipal court then got the case dismissed in it’s entirety. This is the second time i used Jeff last case was a forfeiture and i got all of my money refunded for that case as well. Great lawyer commands the court has a stern... presence in that courtroom trust me.

Awesome lawyer

I have used Mr. Hark’s services twice now. About three years ago and just recently he represented me for drug possession charges. Both times he got me great results. First time was just a fine and the second time he got the case dismissed!! I highly recommend Mr. Hark and if I ever have legal trouble...s in the future, I’ll certainly give his office a call. Thank you for fighting for me.

Jeffrey Hark saved me! Highly recommend

Mr. Hark began to work with me about a year ago... I had gotten arrested several times for several drugs charges. I heard about Mr. Hark through a friend! After our first consultation, I was a bit intimidated by Mr.Hark at first but from the jump he was about his business! He told me exactly what to... do in order to help my case and I listened. Also, he accepts payment plans which was very helpful considering most lawyers want all the money up front! I admire his technique...he’s very confident in what he believes in and is very straight to the point! I was facing many charges such as controlled dangerous substances. Mr. Hark listened to my side of the story. I was going through a tough time in my life between experiencing death for the first time in my life, and dealing with mental health issues. Jeffrey was understanding and nonjudgmental. He suggested I seek therapy which I did and it made my case look better. Jeffrey faught long and hard to get my charges dropped to the lowest thing possible, kept me out of jail, and kept me from getting my license suspended. Which is better than nothing! I must say as well Mr. Hark has a way with words and I was surprised with this the way he spoke highly of me in front of the judge and had my back no matter what! Aside from my experience with Mr.Hark alone, his staff was very wonderful,too! His secretaries were very sweet and worked with me when it came to my payments! Overall, I had a pleasant experience with Jeffrey and his staff! I recommend him to anyone facing criminal charges!

The man

I hire this guy a year ago for some crazy drug charges in New Jersey. He went to court for me five times, never gave up, never attempted to plead me to anything, and now a year later got to charge is totally dismissed. I did not give up one minute he always made me aware of when the court date ...was and where to go, and fought and fought. He never told me any money more than the original fee and gave me a great opportunity to pay it over time. This guy is the bomb !! It doesn’t play around his straightforward his direct and took care of my business for me in the best way possible. I absolutely recommend him to anybody who wants an attorney that will fight for them whether it’s a criminal case car accident Worker’s Comp. or any other criminal charges. He really is a straightforward guy who will work with you in your circumstances no matter what.

Mr.Hark was able to get the DUI charge dismissed and after enrolling in the PTI program I was granted an early release and the drug charges were dismissed.Mr.Hark was excellent in keeping me updated,getting the charges dis...missed in a timely fashion.I am a professional nurse and was able to maintain my license.I would highly recommend Mr.Hark with any criminal charges.
