Best of the best, Mark knows how to fight for your right !!!

Good day Mark Jaffe I’m writing to thank you for the excellent work you did for me with the tickets I received last Memorial Day weekend. I went from three tickets and possible suspended license & not to mention the amount of money it could have cost me to one guilty plea no points and thousands of ...dollars. This is my first time that an attorney has worked so hard for me keeping me up to date & returning my calls also accepting my calls at any hour. It Is hard to find someone as dedicated as you that’s why I don’t just consider you my attorney but a true friend I gained through this process. So if anyone that I know finds themselves in this type of situation the first name out of my mouth will be Mark Jaffe thank you for going above and beyond for me Ed DAmato

Excellent/Amazing Lawyer

Mr Jaffe represented me for a traffic offense that would’ve resulted in many points and/or the loss of my license. He vigorously represented me and was easy to reach at anytime via text, phone or emails. Holding a Commercial Drivers License it was essential that I had the best representation I could ...get. Mark was very tenacious and loyal through the whole process, explaining what to expect and not just rolling over and copping a plea to move on to the next guy! During the court appearance he had the judge actually laughing and they showed each other a great deal of respect, which no doubt helped me out.I’m on the road all the time, I won’t hesitate to call Mark the next time I need help.

Better Call Mark!

I had received two tickets and was going to receive some serious points so I called the law offices of Mark H Jaffe for help. Mark was communicative, available, attentive, and most of all effective! He helped me reduce my points and walk out with an outcome I felt very happy with. Mark's years of exp...erience helped me feel confident going in, and the results spoke for themselves. An excellent lawyer, and a good person call Mark H Jaffe!

Traffic Ticket

Thank you Attorney Mark Jaffe for not only taking on my case, but being available no matter the time of day. You generously took the time to answer all of my questions, and stayed in contact via phone, text, and email. As a single parent who travels for work and in school full time I appreciate you r...elieving my stress. I'm so glad I trusted you instead of trying to handle things by myself. Thank you for representing me, and I will definetly retain you again should the need arise. It's great to have an attorney who truly cares. My friends and family have already been informed on who to call.

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.”
