The Best Hands Down!!!!!

Mark H. Jaffe- is an excellent lawyer. I first met Mark after graduation from high school 15 years ago and he did a great job of representing me! Being from Princeton I knew him to be one of the most hard working dedicated persons that I have ever met. I have recommended him to my brother and countle...ss friends. They are have voiced approval of the results and work he did. Mark is a very loyal person to those he is entrusted to help and a lawyer who works tirelessly to help people who need a advocate who cares and who is expert at knowing how to be successful in Court. Recently - my son was falsely accused and I sought out Mark again to help defend my son. I was very troubled by this accusation and I knew my son was telling the truth. Mark was a sold rock of strength as he stood his ground and refused to let the state railroad my son. The charge was very serous and after months of contesting the charges - the Prosecutor gave in and the original charge was dismissed. The final outcome was acceptable and reasonable to both me and my son - who was very comfortable with Mark's careful , compassionate and considerate manner. He is a superb lawyer and a lawyer who i admire. He is usually at his office almost every day of the week and he provided me with a lot of access to him. He was generous with the time he spent on my son's case just as he had for me 15 years ago. Mark is a good soul who I have seen him with good people and who has had to deal with a lot of bad folks. Mark does not judge but tries his best to befriend his clients= both those worthy of his attention and care and perhaps those who are not. He also deals with a lot of dWI clients such as the one below who I know plead guilty to DWI and who who I know ( I have seen him ) was unemployed and wanted a position at his law office(!) So he is bitter and wants to blame others for his bad behavior that he later admitted to () ...and that is evident. I - As a friend ( who knows him very well, client, and someone who endorses Mark and his work 100% - I needed to voice my praise for Mark - A fine decent and very devoted lawyer. You are making the right choice in choosing him. I have known of his excellent work for over 16 years! I stand as do thousands of clients he has represented over the last 25 years in supporting Mark We are lucky he is here for us. He is a true gentleman.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in NJ and ..Great Friend!

Mark has been not only an advisor to me but also a great friend who has represented me, on several occasions for over a decade! He has been, above all an excellent lawyer to me and far superior to any other lawyer I have ever seen in the past! As a former Assistant County Prosecutor and Princeton Uni...versity. Newark etc. Prosecutor he has tons of experience. I live in North Jersey and I have to travel a bit to see him in Princeton but it is always well worth it . Mark has helped me tremendously in both the criminal matters I have had as well as the motor vehicle cases I have come to him with. He is very intelligent and really makes you feel good in Court when he is with you and you feel empowered by his sharp mind and the way he expresses himself to the court. You know that he is really going to deliver the best he can and he has for me time and time again. He doesn''t just answer the phone and give you a short answer. Rather he carefully explains things about the law and the legal system so that I understand things and he instills confidence. He cares about me and anyone who meets with Mark can clearly see that. Above all- he now only knows the law well but he knows who I am and what I want and he takes the time to do that. That impresses me . He knows how to be successful in Court and he speaks to me in a way that I feel very comfortable.Not only has he done a great job - for me every time- but he also has provided me with practical advice about my life as well as the law and how to navigate the legal system with success. The post before mine is totally absurd and out of context and whoever wrote it is ignorant, dumb and written by someone who probably has a lot more issues than just legal problems because if he knew Mark well ( as I do ) he would have known that Mark could have won his DWI case- and that this jerk wouldn't have been disappointed He must be an idiot to talk the garbage he expressed and to have gotten another lawyer- that resulted in a conviction for him! Mark has always allowed me to be successful in court for that I am indebted to him and feel it is necessary to share my feelings in this review. I have met with Mark countless times over the last ten plus years and he is a truly excellent lawyer who I always can rely on to deliver great work. He has seen me on weekends as well as after work and he is very skilled attorney who I recommend to all of my friends. He has provided me with both of his cell phones and he always picks up! He is my lawyer for life and a terrific and reliable friend. This guy is at the top of his game and you can't pick a better lawyer to help you , in my opinion! His office is open seven days a week and I have always been able to reach him when I needed- and that is priceless. Brian. - A very satisfied client and fan of Mark H. Jaffe!

Hardworking, detail-oriented advocate with great customer service. Highly recommended!

In short, it MATTERS who you choose to represent you in a court. In retrospect, this statement is self-evident, but I learned this fact the hard way. After receiving a significant speeding ticket, I hired a large firm out of the phonebook. I chose poorly. The attorney (who I’d never spoken to) wa...s late to court, unprepared to negotiate, was unfamiliar with the facts of my case, and did not advocate strongly on my behalf. It was at that point that I parted ways with this firm and hired Mark Jaffe. I chose wisely! My experience with Mark couldn’t have been more opposite of that described above. Mark and his staff (MarShawn and Zafar) are as competent, courteous, and professional as you could ever hope for. In addition to his staff, Mark himself is easily accessible and was heavily engaged in every detail of my case. The high level of involvement in my case empowered Mark to negotiate aggressively on my behalf and as a result Mark was able to secure a much more favorable outcome than had been originally proposed by the first firm I hired. If you are looking for an attorney who is detail-oriented, easily accessible with a knowledgable staff, and who will work tirelessly to secure the best outcome possible, then retain the services of Mark Jaffe. I would work with Mark again at the drop of a hat.

Exceptional Defense Lawyer

I would highly recommend Mark Jaffe. I used him within the last 2 months. Mark handled my ticket I received in a traffic incident. Myself and my family are grateful for his personalized and dedicated service. When my husband first spoke with Mark prior to retaining him over the phone, he was impr...essed with the length of time Mark spent to hear my case and explain the procedures. We met him the following day and found home to be very experienced, knowledgable and honest person with a genuine desire to help people. After hearing my case, Mark did not make any unrealistic promises that he couldn't deliver, advised us on the next steps and explained his strategy to get the best possible outcome. Mark always kept me in the loop and was available 24/7 to answer any questions by email or phone. Mark deftly defended our case with the prosecutor and had our ticket dismissed without me having to go court!!!. Needless to say I am thrilled with the outcome and retaining Mark as our lawyer was one of the best decisions we've made. I would have absolutely no reservations endorsing him and referring his services to family and friends.

OUTSTANDING LAWYER!

I had the pleasure of having Mark Jaffe as my lawyer. I have known him for over a year now and he has always gotten me successful outcomes! I had recently been charged with 5 charges related to drugs, and through vigorous work, time and effort, Mark dismissed all my charges except one, which he got l...owered and deferred for a year. It will then be dismissed after a year of staying away from the law. Through out the whole experience, he always put me, the client, first. He was constantly giving me updates and checking up to see how I was doing and making sure everything was ready for my next court appearance. He familiarized me with the Judges and really cared about making me a happy client and helping get the best outcome. He always delivered with whatever he said! I would without a doubt recommend Mark Jaffe to any client!
