Best criminal defensive attorney in South Jersey

this guy is unbelievable. I just was charged with two gun cases rising out out of it domestic violence case. my ex-girlfriend lied on me, got my mom involved. and generally messed up my life for the last two years. Jeff came in got involved took control the case and I’m walking out of the courtroom w...ith a short period of probation and the gun charges dismissed. This guy worked with me and my mom on a payment plan, talk to my mom all the time, put her at ease, kept me on the street so I could pay the payment plan. And now just hit the ball out of the park. He really did an amazing job and I knew what was going on the entire time. Going to court sucks and going into the courthouse is even worse, but he was always there to make me feel better and make my mom feel better. I would definitely recommend him to anybody for any criminal matter. If he deals with these prosecutors the same way he deals with insurance defense attorneys. I’m sure he would also be amazing for any personal injury Worker’s Compensation case. I live down in Sicklerville and he handles cases all over Gloucester County Camden County Burlington County. I’ve even given his name already to a bunch of people who have called me and said he’s the bomb. I would absolutely go with him without exception. I know this firsthand for my own personal knowledge. Anybody that’s talking negative about him doesn’t know what they are saying were their cases so bad they’re gonna get screwed and the attorney can help them.

The best attorney in south jersey

I am writing a review for Mr. Hark because he just finished a 3 1/2 year battle personal injury case. He did an amazing job. His staff is on the ball at every turn, and he provided a tremendous outcome. We knew what was going on at every turn, their office is always available and accessible, Mr. Hark... is on the ball. There’s not much more to say. Anytime I wanted to talk to him he was available or would call me back without much the way at all. He and his office have the expertise knowledge training and personal communication skills to provide you the best legal services I’ve experienced in a long time. I would highly recommend him for any personal injury, Worker’s Compensation, criminal, civil, family, domestic violence, gun, sex drugs , traffic, speeding, DWI case in any county in New Jersey.

PauL We worked hard for those 3 1/2 years!!! I would like to take the time to thank you for writing me a review and providing five stars. We go to great lengths to get your case resolved but with some many parties and so much injuries.... that took some time to find everyone. But we did!!! Each and every case Stands on its own merits and cannot be compared to some other person’s results. We work very hard to provide our clients the best possible results given each individual case circumstances. I’m happy you were satisfied with the results and we look forward to working with you in the future on any other matter. In addition, thank you for your kind words about my office staff. The entire team works hard to make sure everybody gets the best customer service possible. Best wishes.

Totally AMAZING!!

I am very pleased to say that Hark and Hark are my go to attorneys whenever I'm faced with a legal dilemma. When called, they give fair and reasonable scenarios on how the case may go. Then they go to work to produce favorable outcomes. I obtained their assistance for a loved ones' profession...al license and for a criminal matter and both cases were dismissed. Why? Because they know the law. And I don't mean simple stuff. I mean law regarding complex matters and how to get you through it unscathed with no charges. Sounds incredible right? Well if it sounds incredible, imagine what it feels like to walk away with all charges dropped and expunged. Yes, they're THAT GOOD!! Bethany and the office staff are AWESOME too. A well rounded team indeed.

Great Lawyer/Firm

I wanted to give recognition not only to Jeff who was very prompt with working on my case and is very experienced at what he does but also to Joe Zysman and Michael Collis. They are all amazing! I’ve had a long two year wait but we all were certain my case would be dismissed. That’s exactly what happ...ened. I am very pleased and thankful for your help and assistance with ensuring I was proven innocent. Another great aspect about the firm is that the payment plans are very reasonable and easy. I had no issues and the additional staff is always willing to help and listen. Thank you all so much!! I appreciate you all forever. **I HIGHLY RECOMMEND**

S. Lee, Thanks for taking the time to write a review blowing up my staff. We all greatly appreciate your kind words and support for everything we do every day all the time! We work very hard at each and every aspect of what you stated; customer service, client communications, payment plans, and most of all results! Representing people in difficult or precarious legal position can be difficult; however we take great pride in delivering the best legal representation as you stated above. Remember, we do not just handle criminal matters; we also handle personal injury, workers compensation cases, traffic, DWI, and all family cases. When I say family cases I mean TRO-FRO cases, restraining orders, custody, child supports, divorce, and separation agreements. Thanks again...
