Honest and excellent attorney

I have known Mark for the past 6 years and our first interaction was about a speeding ticket that my father-in-law was trying to contest. Mark talked about how we was going to help represent my father-in-law but the way he came across as a good human being looking out for your overall well being. He ...asked about my kids and wife and how the were doing. He kept touch during the whole process and did exactly what he promised us to do. Not only he got the points dropped but helped us understand how the law works and made sure we are completely aware of the proceedings. His experience, honesty, hard work and his empathy for fellow citizens is something I didn’t expect out of an attorney. No wonder my friend referred me to reach out to him. It gives me hope that the world is not a bad place after all. For what we paid as fees he delivered 200% more than what we expected. It just happened that I ended up getting a ticket last month and when I reached out to him first thing he asked me was “Why didn’t I come see him these years to tell him how we were doing as a family and how life has been”. Just shows how much compassion he has towards everyone.

PERFECT FIT TO REPRESENT OUR TEENAGE SON!

As a parent of teenage boys, one of the last things you ever want to do is end up in court. But that is where we found ourselves. Clueless. Intimidated. Worried. Anxious. We needed to find an attorney that understood our situation and was willing to ease our nerves and walk us through this unfamilia...r process. Enter Mr. Jaffe. From start to finish, Mr. Jaffe was the guiding light our family needed to get through this frustrating and nerve wracking time. Our son found himself facing the possibility of points, fines, insurance increases, and ultimately a suspended license. A nightmare for our whole family. Through Mr. Jaffe’s knowledge, guidance, and constant reassurance, we were able to face court day with calm nerves and the most favorable outcome possible. There is simply no match for Mark Jaffe’s accessibility, support, and resources. He spoke to our son several times a week leading up to his court appearance, guiding him and coaching him on how a seventeen year old young man should handle speaking to the judge. He answered every question we had with kindness and honesty, making certain my son truly did learn from this experience. He did not sugar coat the situation for our son--he explained in detail the consequences of his actions...something we believe he did not fully grasp until Mr. Jaffe drove it home. I cannot endorse Mark Jaffe enough. We are so grateful for his support and would never have had the best possible outcome that we did without his counsel. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Experience

Rating:  1.2 (Extreme Caution)

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2022.

Suspension issued in NJ, 2022

updated on 08/22/2025

Suspension means an attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Mark’s comment:

“A reprimand was issued due to a misunderstanding involving parking tickets on a friend’s vehicle I had temporarily used; although I paid my friend for the fines, procedural issues arose because I was not the registered owner, and the court held me responsible despite my good-faith effort to resolve the matter.”

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2020

updated on 08/22/2025

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Mark’s comment:

“The reprimand was based solely on not having a written contract in a pro bono case, as I did not believe a formal agreement was required when offering free legal assistance.”

Censure issued in NJ, 2017

updated on 08/22/2025

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the State did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Mark’s comment:

“While caring for my dying mother, I submitted a rushed expungement in a difficult case involving a mentally impaired client; although the outcome was successful, a complaint was later filed due to the filing’s quality, which led to a reprimand. I then provided a full refund to the client.”

Reprimanded issued in NJ, 2012

updated on 08/22/2025

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Mark’s comment:

“In a rare case, an interpreter—unknown to me at the time—provided false testimony, which contributed to my reprimand and mistrial; I’ve handled over 14,000 cases with integrity and success, and I remain committed to delivering strong, ethical representation.”
