Our Angel!!!

I hired Mark Jaffe to handle my husband's criminal possession case. As he was made aware by his public defender on the first meeting, He was facing at least 3 years prison time. After some search for a private attorney I decided to retain Mark and his team . To be honest, I didn't believe that he w...ould end up getting away with his charge and thought that was a sales pitch to empty my pockets. Next thing I noticed and liked was that Mark ALWAYS picked up the phone on him even after hours. He spent hours on the phone comforting him in that unpleasant situation and also giving educated legal advice. Mark treats his clients like family members, he is there to help 24x7! You can reach him by email or cell phone almost all the time. He is knowledgable and compassionate, he has good relationship with the judge and prosecutor in the Princeton & New Brunswick area.No matter what your legal issue, in the end, as a client, you want a fair and just resolution and he will be a strong advocate for you. He was simply so impressed with the wealth of background knowledge that he brings to cases--issues, personalities judge, DA, court clerks, everything. Kind of amazing to watch this guy in action and I forgot to mention he is very reasonable. Thanks for everything Mark

Great lawyer

I would have lost my license for 6 months had it not been for Mark Jaffe. He and his associates are extremely competent and I knew my case was in good hands with them. His rates are affordable, and he was always good about contacting me back. For example, if I sent him an email, he would get back to ...me in less than 24 hours. I'm extremely satisfied with Mark and I would recommend to anyone in need of a good lawyer.

CAME THRU BIG TIME!!! STRONGLY RECOMMEND

I AM DRIVING FOR 17 YEARS AND GOT STOPPED NUMEROUS TIMES FOR SPEEDING. I GOT MY FAIR SHARE OF SPEEDING TICKETS OVER THE YEARS, AND I DEALT WITH A LOT OF LAWYERS ALREADY WITH NOT TOO MUCH SUCCESS. SO WHEN I GOT MARK JAFFE'S LETTER IN THE MAIL WITH THE WORDS I CAN HELP YOU!! I THOUGHT TO MYSELF HERE W...E GO AGAIN WITH THESE LAWYERS. BUT I HAD NOTHING TO LOSE AS HE HAD VERY REASONABLE RATES AND WAS WILLING TO WORK WITH PAYMENT OPTIONS SO I GAVE HIM A TRY. TODAY I HAD MY COURT CASE AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY DRIVING HISTORY (ABOUT 15 SPEEDING TICKETS) MY VIOLATION WAS DROPPED TO A NON MOVING NO POINTS VIOLATION WITH ONLY A $58 FINE MARK DID A GREAT JOB RESEARCHING MY SPECIFIC CASE (THE OFFICER HAD GIVEN ME A CARELESS DRIVING AND WROTE IN THE REMARKS 85 IN A 65 ZONE) AND CONVINCING THE PROSECUTOR TO DROP THAT CHARGE. MARK WAS ALWAYS AVAILABLE WHENEVER I TRIED REACHING HIM AT ALL HOURS. DAY AND NIGHT. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE HIM AGAIN SHOULD THE NEED COME UP, WHICH I SUSPECT IT WILL

I swear this is the case they make true life movies over...shock and awe first hand...real talk

Let me start by saying when i first was handed mr Jaffe's card by one of my friends i didn't know what to think. I was so distraught over my case i didn't know what to do. I had just gotten a new job from my old one which was me working 12 hours a day 7 days a week with no days off for 7 months strai...ght...no daysssss offf. making peanuts.highschool graduate no college i was almost screwed in the working world. this new job saved me i was able to get my own place and start my life officialy keeping in my mind im 26. the clock is ticking. i finally was about to get furntiture for the house and everything was about to be good for the first time in years.i was broke beyond relief and i was just gettin my money right when i got the hardest hit of my life a dwi. it wouldnt be that big a deal but my new job depended on my being able to drive. so now i was risking no job with a brand new lease which was going to lead to ultimate eviction and no place to live. my closest relatives that could help me are in california i live in nj.my life was going to be over completly over. but i took this card and called the number on it. i gave it a shot what the heck i was screwed anyway. when i first met mr jaffe the first thing he said was you can relax im going to fight for you. now like i said i was broke the retainer fee was however managable. most lawyers charge about 3 thousand dollars for something like this mr jaffe gave me the oppurtunity to pay it off in a payment plan that fit my needs and my wallet. remember i was broke. he was upfront about everything from the beginning. he told me about what i was facing and how hard it would be but he never stopped saying that he would fight for me it made me feel good. i went through arraignments and pretrials scared as can be but mr jaffe was there for me. he is a busy man he holds down his office with himself and his wingman mr marshawn with tons of cases on his back but he always found time for me. whether it was 8 in the morning or 12 at night he was there. although the courts were so unhelpful and so bias the whole entire time mr jaffe stood by my side. they even tried to screw me literally they had me come to court for a pretrial conference and turned it into a trial right on the spot even though they had made the mistake when it was to be nothing more but a final pre trial conference. the judge basically said f u we are going to take your license and were going to do it by making u try the case today with no preperation. if u dont take the crappy plea bargain right now we are unfairly going to destroy you. Well with no preperaswoontion no time to call witnesses no nothing back against the wall mr jaffe stood out like a shining sun and said you know what if you want to go to trial lets do it. he called thier bluff and we went in like lone rangers into the belly of the beast . what the courts didnt know is that mr jaffe is like kobe bryant in the fourth quarter. he attacked every element of the states case against me and obliterated it without the help of the expert witness that jaffe had as a trick up his sleeve. he did it all himself with no time to prepare. it was all freestyled off the top of his brain with such perfection and magnificence my jaw is still on the floor wondering how i still have my license. he is a black mamba in disguise. the black mamba is the deadliest snake on the face of the planet. one bite can kill 150 people. and i saw that in the courtroom. he ate up the prosecuter and the judge and the testifying cop. and he did it all with a smile. i have never witnessed anything like it in my life not even in the movies.its like seeing the hulk and superman all in one in real life. i was facing 24 months loss of license and thousands of dollars in fines . im telling you if you want to win your case and still have some money in your pocket put your trust in mr Jaffe. no longer is it that the truth shall set you free. keep it real justice isnt blind the only one that is going to set you free is Mark Jaffe Esquire attorney at law. I use to think that he was david vs goli

Fantastic Lawyer

Mr. Jaffe helped me save hundreds of dollars when I was charged with a traffic violation. His extensive experience with the New Jersey State Police, as well as a public defender helped me cope with the stress of receiving a ticket and having to go to court. As important, Mr. Jaffe is a very caring ...individual, always ready to receive and return calls and e-mails. Everything he informed me when we first met in his office was later confirmed. He is honest from the very first time he meets with you, and very trustworthy. The one positive outcome from my receiving a ticket is that I got to meet Mr. Jaffe. I now know that if I ever need representation again (which I hope will not happen) I can count on the expertise and reliability he provides for his clients.
