An Excellent, Brilliant and Talented Attonery!

When I first came across Mark Jaffe he struck me as a brilliant, smart and able young man. He is very organized, very freindly and very charming and sensitive with regard to how he treats his Clients. He does not lie. He is not a pokerface. I first turneed to Mark when I was knee deep in a lot of leg...al problems. Every other lawyer told me the case was unwinnable and turned me down but Mark was willing to take a look at it from a fresh perspective that you can only see in a briliant, self-assertive and confident proffessional. He argued put my case and won it. Infact, I got the charges dismissed and my record wiped clean. For me and my family, Mark is a godsend. One of those ew people, who you can count on to be there at midnight when you call him up to answer questions about your case, he will always keep you in the loop, always have something to report back to you on a day to day basis and always have your best interests at heart. He is a good guy and I hope he is the solution to everyone's problems just as he was to my problems. God bless him.

Extraordinary attorney, top-notch intellect with a big heart

My wife's car was totaled; she was deeply shaken by the accident and needed not just a highly competent attorney, but a caring, sensitive human being. Mr. Jaffee was all this and more. He negotiated the best possible outcome with the district attorney and took not just good but excellent care of m...y wife's fragile spirit. If you are looking for a brilliant attorney, who gets the job done with 110% commitment to his client's well-being, both legal and spiritual, you will not find a better man with a better heart and mind than Mark Jaffe. He's also a delightful storyteller and a mensch--what better recommendation could there be?

Close to miraculous

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.

First rate lawyer within the areas of his expertise!

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.

The best!

Mark was the best lawyer in the world for me. He knows the law well and he knows everything about the ingredients to WIN. He won for me big time. He stuck by me as it looked bleak. He knew that I was innocent of the charge I was facing and he stood his ground with research , care , attention an...d experts! Choosing a lawyer is a very personal and important decision. This man is EXCELLENT!
