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...

Better off with a PD

I never ever would recommend a "public pretender" but if it came down to Mr. Hark and a PD; I would 100% go with a PD. I hired Mr. Hark for a family member incarcerated. Mr. Hark has not gone to see in him in the four months that I have hired him. I have to call for days to get a response from him an...d he does not put you at ease at all. Attorneys that I have hired for myself have made me feel better about the legal circumstance not worse. My attorney came to see me three days after being locked up on a SATURDAY and I had not even paid him yet. Attorney's depend on word of mouth and I hope this word of mouth goes around; DO NOT HIRE Jeffrey Hark. Save yourself the $3000 or spend a little more to go with an attorney who actually is available when you need him.

I have been practicing law 20 years and have opened over 4677 civil, criminal, workers compensation, or municipal court cases. I can not address the comments of this individual because s/he did not identify themself, never called my office to discuss why s/he was not happy, nor met with me personally to discuss the concerns s/he had. There are many times when, regardless of the efforts I take, the facts are the facts, and based on those facts and the defendant's prior criminal history, the prosecutor's office may not extend a plea agreement acceptable to the client. However, if and when the client pleads guilty he is informed of his right to trial, and right to call witnesses on his behalf, and that s/he is waiving that right in exchange for any proposed plea agreement that is offered. We do not and have never guaranteed any results, merely that my office while do everything lawful and ethical to secure the best possible results for each client given their individual circumstances at the time I am hired. Remember, prior criminal history, prior pending charges, prior drug use/ history of addition, and or violations of parol and probation, often times dictate how much the prosecutors' office are willing to negotiate with defendants. Also the most important aspect of any relationship is open lines of communications and mutual respect. Obviously, those did not exist in this case.

"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!"
