Mark H. Jaffe

Initially, you may be surprised by the number of emails and calls that you receive from Mark Jaffe. Then you’ll realize that he seriously cares about your case. You may be unprepared for his passionate delivery. Then you’ll understand that he genuinely wants to stand up for your rights. In... a world where it is so rare to get a person answering their phone that one can mistake a real voice for a recording, and where people are jaded about lawyers and much else, it is something close to miraculous that Mark Jaffe exists: He is a little like a country lawyer in an elite college town. He answers his calls almost every single time (and calls you back quickly if he doesn’t), letting you know that everything is going to be okay and that he is going to help you. When I was disarmed by innocent traffic violations that were put into serious overdrive with charges and tickets, I was upset and worried. Jaffe went into action immediately. I stopped worrying. I could see that Jaffe puts his sharp intelligence to use in the service of people, explaining his plan every step of the way and giving the bigger picture, without any hint of an air of routine and certainly none of the condescension common with lawyers. It felt really good to have him standing next to me in court--standing up with me for my best interests. He knew exactly how to handle the case. His good relationships with those at the court showed in how smoothly they worked with him. And he put himself into it every minute. The outcome of my case was far better than it might have been and I paid far fewer fees than I might have, which for me was both a salvation and a stand for justice. Like me, you’ll probably be very pleased with the outcome and may even find yourself having more hope about lawyers, courtrooms, and what is fair. You may never tell a lawyer’s joke again. And you may find you miss the emails and phone calls after everything has been settled.

Mark Jaffe represented me once, and my husband twice, in the Princeton traffic courts; the allegations were extremely difficult to "disprove," yet he was able to dispose of all three matters swiftly, smoothly and professionally. Since that time, I have also had the opportunity to observe him at work... on an employment discrimination matter and in the defense of a larceny charge, and I cannot recommend him highly enough within the areas of his expertise. As a now-retired attorney myself, I find Mark's unqualified dedication to the client's interests impressive, as is his thorough analysis of the factual situation, his determination to reach the best possible result for the client, and his success in reaching this result. I might also add that he is kind and sympathetic, no matter what kind of legal trouble the client presents, that his fees are reasonable, and that because of his many years of experience in the courts where he practices, he is well known and respected there by the prosecutors and judges, a considerable asset for the clients he represents when it comes to plea bargains, settlements and the like.

For any matter more serious than contesting a questionable parking ticket, you’d be foolish not to hire an attorney. I’m very pleased to recommend Mark Jaffe, Attorney at Law, as an excellent choice for your advocate in court. He's extremely well qualified, having worked both as a prosecutor and in... defending clients, with experience of more than three decades working for the law, and over 23 years of that working as an Attorney at Law. But what's most important to me, after meeting with him, I feel that he was genuinely concerned to help guide me and my son through my son's first experience with our legal system. We met with Mark Jaffe in his office on a Saturday afternoon. He gave freely of his time, telling us how the law worked and what we should expect as an outcome. He described how he expected the judge and prosecutor would view our case and prepared us for the judgement he believed most likely. He explained the best outcome we should expect within the limitations of the prosecutor's and judge's latitude in administering leniency in the court's punishments and fines. I left his office well satisfied that I'd found someone who could very effectively handle my son's case. On several occasions I collected things I thought might help in handling my son's case and emailed them to Mark Jaffe, often in odd hours of the late night and very early morning. I figured that his legal aid would collect these things the next day ... I received his responses to my emails, often within minutes. I couldn't figure out when or whether he's ever off the clock. [He's quite reachable by phone but I should comment that email is the better way to reach Mark Jaffe, especially for the many simple matters in a case that don't require his immediate attention.] In court, I observed that the judge and prosecutor knew and respected, and seemed to like Mark Jaffe, as did the clerks and bailiffs. My son's case was handled smoothly and fairly by the court and the outcome was exactly as Mark Jaffe predicted. No one can promise you a particular outcome, but Mark Jaffe, with his many years of experience both with the law and the courts where he practices, can inform you of the most likely outcome. He clearly explains the fairest outcome that you can expect given the circumstances of your case, and can guide you past the hidden pitfalls you might otherwise trip over. I feel most fortunate that I retained Mark Jaffe, to represent my son's case in Plainsboro Municipal Court. He's like an old time country doctor, but practising law instead of medicine. He’s easy to contact and there when you need him, expert at the law, expert in court practice, and he cares. So, if you ever need an advocate, I highly recommend Mark Jaffe, Attorney at Law, and will recommend him to my friends should they need an advocate.

Mark is different from other Lawyers in that he is available 24/7 (No exaggeration!) and he has extensive experience in the Princeton/West Windsor area. Mark was able to my traffic case, the most unusual traffic case in his 30+ years, and get the results I wanted. I would have had 5 points and inst...ead it was reduced to 2, which was amazing in this rare situation. He is genuine, courteous, personable, respectful, and will answer any questions you have at any time, in addition to getting your desired results! He treats his clients as family and made me feel extremely welcome and ensured my satisfaction with his services throughout the whole process from beginning to end. I highly recommend him for any case you may have. His pricing is fair and reasonable as well. I can't say enough about how excellent Mark is for representing you in your case and I will be recommending him to anyone I know who needs a lawyer!
