Excellent responsive attorney

I recently had a matter in the local municipal court and as I live out of the state, I began a search for an attorney. I researched attorneys in the area to represent me in court as I would be unable to attend the hearing due to logistics. I found Mark Jaffe a defense attorney with over 25 years’ e...xperience (former prosecutor) and skill set to represent me. I called Mark, and within a few minutes he was on the phone with me. I instantly knew that I wanted him to represent me in this matter. I explained the situation and Mark was quick to inform me that he would be happy to represent me. He instilled a sense of confidence in me; he was intelligent, genuine, and honest. He was confident that he would resolve this situation in a favorable manner for me. He told me his no hassle fee for his legal representation and reassured me he could have the summons reduced to a lesser violation with no points. He gave me the exact cost of the lesser violation and what the court cost would be in this situation. He explained what he would need from me to have him represent me. He immediately sent out an affidavit and asked that I return it faxed to his attention along with a note stating why I couldn’t attend court in person (a protocol of the court). He told me to relax; he would handle everything and stay in communication with me. He stressed the value of customer service and explained who his legal staff was, when best to reach him or his staff and gave me the office telephone number, fax number and even his cell number. He stressed the point that I had accessibility to him and/or his staff at any time and not to hesitate to call with any questions. He was right. Any time I called I was taken care of immediately and Mark always followed up with me to make sure I was comfortable. I was, quite frankly, blown away by his customer service, responsiveness, and professionalism. And yes, Mark did resolve my summons to a lesser violation, I received no points and the summons fee and court costs were exactly as he had stated. Mark is an excellent attorney and I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.

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!

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.
