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!

Mark Jaffe is an attorney who is motivated by a desire to help people

When selecting an attorney, there are certain qualities to look out for. Qualities such as intellect, amiability and charisma are critical for the successful litigator, and as such their presence of lack thereof should be considered when choosing representation . Many attorneys exhibit such traits, a...nd so does Mark Jaffe. However, in this day and age, qualities such as these are no longer the exception, they are the rule, and as such are simply not enough. With so many lawyers to choose from, one must look for qualities which are not generally attributed to lawyers; altruism, selflessness, kinship and forthrightness. This is where Mr. Jaffe excels, because unlike so many of his colleagues he is driven by a deep and genuine desire to help people. His dedication to his clients is staggering. He goes to great lengths to make himself available. He looks upon his clients as not only clients, but friends and fellow people who deserve respect. He will never promise results that he cannot deliver. This is why Mr. Jaffe stands apart from the multitudes of lawyers who are simply employing their intellect in the pursuit of material gain. Mr. Jaffes wealth comes in the form of experience, and his 20+ years of practicing law has allowed him to foster positive working relationships with his colleagues in the courts and law enforcement agencies. I feel compelled to write this endorsement because my life has been touched by Mr. Jaffe. I am eternally grateful to him for navigating the courts and finding an amenable solution to problems which would have otherwise been nearly insurmountable. Please consider my words when wading through the quagmire of letters, ads, reviews and appraisals which regrettably accompany the selection process.

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.

Mark H. Jaffe---An exceptionally fine defense lawyer

Mark H. Jaffe, Attorney at Law---An exceptionally fine defense attorney On behalf of my wife and myself I would like to express our gratitude and admiration for Mark Jaffe. My wife, distracted by reports of Hurricane Sandy bearing down on us and in view of Governor Christie’s declaration that d...ay of a state of emergency in our state inadvertently violated an unpublicized and virtually unknown traffic law. She was given multiple citations and treated by the policeman in what we considered a disrespectful and totally inappropriate way. Having no experience with the court system and at a loss as to what to do we retained Mark Jaffe. With very little notice and the hearing scheduled for the very next day he met with us, comforted us greatly, explained our situation clearly to us in terms we could understand and outlined his strategy for our defense. At the hearing the next day this matter, which could have gotten a lot more serious, was resolved with only a very small penalty for us---an accomplishment that would have certainly been impossible were we to represent ourselves. Looking back on our highly productive association with Mark Jaffe we can say with no reservations that he is a very fine defense lawyer with a great depth of experience on both prosecution and defense sides of the law, solid connections with relevant law enforcement personnel and an understanding of how to empower potential defendants to feel not intimidated but proud of their rights as Americans. We wholeheartedly endorse Mark Jaffe. Anyone who would like to discuss this further is welcome to call me at (609) 951-0574 or e mail mhshaub@aol.com. Marvin H.

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.
