Licensing Board issue . No one is better than Jeff Hark

If you are facing a licensing board issue you need Jeff Hark. What can be worse than facing criminal charges? Having a licensing board revoke a person’s license for 1 to 3 years. Losing one’s ability to work and provide for their family can lead to catastrophic consequences. The boards are no...torious for bullying license holders. The offense can be a single DUI that will put a person in peril of losing everything they ever worked for. The board will force that person into a treatment program indefinitely. The person will enroll in the program in hopes that in three years they may go back to work with an unrestricted license. Sometimes the board tricks the person and tells them it’s only 90 days. What they don’t tell the person is that it’s only a re-evaluation. The license holder may find themselves in the program for another 6 months only to be re-evaluated again. At that time, they may still decide to keep the license holder hostage. They have no say if they want to keep that license. It will be a long three years of not having an income, but of spending whatever little a person has in savings on the program. Add insult to injury, a person’s travel will be limited because the board can call the license holder at any moment to take a drug test. If the person is in the program for a year and decides to quit the program, not only will they lose their license, but their case will be posted on the board’s website for eternity for the whole world to see. This is part of the bullying. It is important to note that the board is not there to protect the license holder. The board is there to protect the public. That would be fair if the board did not take advantage of the license holder either. In the past, some board members have had ties with the treatment organizations that the board refers their license holders too. This type of behavior by a licensing board is not exclusive to NJ. My research points to a nationwide problem. The public needs to be protected and there is a need for a board to discipline their license holders, but at some point, it goes from discipline to an abuse of power. Four years ago, I was facing this problem myself. I was scared; I was very scared. I found religion I was so scared. I prayed for guidance and the good Lord delivered. I did not respond to the board and started to look for Lawyers. Jeff Hark was the second lawyer I spoke to that day. I will never forget what he said to me. “ If you hire me, you will be happy after we talk” So I hired him and I’m so glad I did. I went to bed that night and slept like a baby. I forwarded him the letter the board sent me, and I then asked him what I should do about work. He said, “go back to work and keep your mouth shut, let me handle this”. He has a formula to keep a person working with the end game of that person keeping their license. My free advice to someone who is in jeopardy of a board revoking their license, is to keep their mouth shut. Do not talk to the board yourself. You Hire Jeff Hark to handle your case. You also must do your part. Listen to Jeff and do what he tells you to do. He has been doing this for over 30 years.

Angel, thank you for taking the time and writing a review and giving me five stories. Although we’re not done, you realize how difficult the New Jersey Board of nursing is and how impossible that they can be regarding prior criminal activity, pending criminal activity, and efforts to push people into ramp. We do our best to avoid that for our clients. And clearly we are still working on that for you.  I am glad that you realize that the New Jersey boards are boys to all license holders. Yes, they do trick people into signing up for a ramp for the “90 day “initial. And then trick you into another five years that you have to pay for treatment, drug testing, travel, and take time off from work. Yes, they do hold you hostage. Every case is individual and idiosyncratic. I don’t provide any guarantees in every case has to work to the individual facts and circumstances of the licensee. However, I do listen and you are correct. We do work hard to provide the best services for our clients on a payment plan that works so you can sleep at night.

Excellent attorney. Know what to do

This guy is the best attorney I have ever used. . I hired him February 2018 and we just went to trial today on a DWI. Everything he told me at the first meeting was 100% accurate. He worked with me on a payment plan, he took his time and did not rush, his expert report was excellent, and today my DWI... was dismissed. I would recommend him to any family member and friend, and in fact have done so. He really knows what he’s doing and his office kept me in touch before every court date any documents were sent immediately. I’m not quite sure what else to say I’m totally ecstatic and pleased with the outcome and results

The best attorney i have ever dealt with

I suffered a TBI. And had some major changes in my life which effected all aspects of my life. I was charged w several, several DWIs, drug offenses, domestic violence charges, and some serious criminal charges. Jeffrey was able to get 2, yes 2 DWIs dismisses and my domestic violence charges dismiss...ed. He also fought like hell to get me into PTI so I would not have a criminal record. He also cared so much and put me in touch with medical professionals who saved my life !!! This guy delivered the ENTIRE package of lawyer help that really helped me save my job, save my drivers licenses, save me from me and everything that goes with great representation. His office is on the ball always and he always gets back to me whenever I call !!! Next he plans on getting my PTI terminated successfully 2 years Walt and then get the record of the arrest expunged ! I can not repeat and tell you how great of a job he did for me!!! I absolutely recommend Jeffrey Hark without reservation!!! By the way, he always will take whatever payment plan is best for you !!

A lawyer who actually keeps his word !

Contacted Mr. Hark about DWI after speaking to a few other attorneys who told me to plead guilty to what prosecution was offering. He took my case ( on a payment plan no less ! ) and went through it himself then sent it to an expert and I only got a tier one DUI with 90 day suspension. He works hard... for his clients and is honest and upfront with you from minute one. I would highly recommend him. A lawyer who keeps his word is hard to find not to mention support staff that gets back to you literally in a few minutes
