Mark H. Jaffe

I am not one to post negative reviews, but he literally did not show up to my court date after confirming multiple times the day before and day of. I did not think he was in the (virtual) court and contacted his assistant who confirmed that he was. He was not, and the judge had to inform me when I wa...s the last person in court. Needless to say, I did not work with him after that. He is extremely disorganized and unprofessional. He would contact me without notice at crazy hours (I.e. texting me at midnight) and tried to get me to do his work for him (I.e. contacting police departments to get information or talk to police officers/prosecutors). I definitely do not recommended and had a horrible, anxiety-inducing experience.

While he is a nice guy who does his best to keep his clients from worrying about their case, he is also completely scatterbrained. Always goes off topic when you are trying to discuss your case, office is very unorganized (run by high school students), and I have a feeling he forgot to file some pap...ers for my case that ultimately led to me having a warrant out for my arrest, followed by 4 days in county jail. Once he realized (or at least that is what my family and I think) that he made a mistake, he actually started doing some work for us, although it will the last time we request his services. Also, he'll get very distracted when you are the phone with him, a lot of the times he just hangs up when he gets another call on the line. Again, a nice guy, but when I am dealing with a lawyer, I'm not looking to make friends. I'm looking to get my court issues resolved in a timely and responsible fashion, something he lacked entirely. Also has a bad reputation in Princeton.
