Top Notch Lawyer -- Highly Recommended

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.

Top Notch Lawyer - Misdemeanor Drug Charge Dismissed

I was very pleased with the way he worked on my cases. He has been my go-to lawyer for about 5 years. The man works round the clock. He is always available (even at odd hours of the morning). He is always reachable by cell phone and if he is in court, there's always someone in his office that wil...l help. He's in his office until 1am. My last case with him was dismissed which is the best I could have hoped for. Now he is helping me with some issues I'm having in another state and he's doing so as a friend. Mark is a very personable guy. He often invites his clients out for dinner. He also gave me great advice about legal issues that don't pertain to my case. He knows a ton of information about law and life as a whole. He knows what he's talking about and he knows the legal system very well. He's a great guy to know.

mark jaffe is an " excllent lawyer "

Sitting home now, a free man, thanks to Mark Jaffe. I hired him 3 times, twice for myself, once for a motor vehicle matter, once for a criminal, municipal court matter, and once for my fiance, who had a dwi and some other very serious motor vehilce matters. She too, is home and free with me, thanks t...o Mark. Not once did he let me down or not keep his word. He is known by many, respected by all, and truly a man to know and have as a friend. Not only is he an excllent lawyer, he is a true friend, someone that really cares about you as a person, and not just as a client. Mark has become a real friend of mine, I have known Mark since May 2010, and he has " always " been 100% with me, from day 1, 100% " always ". He has never once lied to me, mislead me, or not kept his word with me, and whenever he told me something, it was true, actual fact, the results said it all. The only thing i can say is " the man is remarkable ", and his skills are unquestionable. Actions speak louder then words, and if Mark Jaffe is your lawyer, you will see a man in action, and be very pleased with the results... GO MARK, YOU THE BEST MAN, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK... ( on a scale of 1 to 10, i give you a 10 my brother, nothing less, your the best )

Intelligent, experienced, hard-working, responsive

I and my family have retained Mark Jaffe for several cases of different kinds over the last 6 years. Thanks to his brilliant efforts and tireless hard work, all these cases were resolved completely successfully. At all times, Mark communicated very clearly to us what to expect, and he was always corr...ect. I was very impressed with Mark's analytical skills and his knowledge of both the technical and the practical legal issues, as well as his familiarity with the special characteristics of each court, judge, and prosecutor. I recommend him without reservation to anyone needing legal representation.

Trustworthy and Extremely Knowledgeable

I am a Professor at Rutgers and had the chance to work with a couple of lawyers before knowing Mark. Mark is extremely helpful and extremely reliable with immense intelligence and deep knowledge of the law and the court system. He represented me in a traffic violation case. He is extremely support...ive and knows how to explain the law and will put you at ease. He gave me his cell number to call 24/7 and answered all my questions. He has an excellent relationship with the judges and prosecutors in the Mercer County area. He showed excellent command of the law and has shined in the court. If you have a need for legal service, Mark will fight for you and you will get results. I recommend him without any reservations. Call this lawyer first if you want to get results!
