Richard Quinton Hark

Attorney Hark helped me in more ways than imaginable. This attorney is down to earth, comfortable to speak with and knows what he is talking about. He guided me every step of the way from dealing with the magistrate's office to the common pleas court through a mental and physical exam... which i p...assed with flying colors. His firm bid undeniably one of the easiest attorneys to work with !!!!!!

Mr. Hark successfully navigated his way through two seperate DUI cases. He was able to obtain the best possible outcome. As a small business owner my drivers license is my livelihood. Mr. Hark understood that and was able to minimize license suspension as much as possible. It was a pleasure working w...ith him.

From the first time I contacted Richard regarding my case he was totally involved in handling my case with intentions of winning the verdict I was seeking. He went to work immediately and along the way was constantly available to talk to me about any concerns I had regarding my case and explain each ...step along the way. His manner was always one of quiet calm and professionalism and he always left me with a feeling of confidence when I spoke to him. He went to great pains to explain the workings of the courts and never wavered in his confidence that my case was winnable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who was dealing with a criminal case or any other type because his work ethic and concern for his client are second to none.

I was arrested for a DUI – first offense. I have been an RN for many years and had never had my RN license disciplined, been arrested or convicted for a crime. I received a letter from the PA Bureau of Professional Affairs – Professional Health Monitoring Programs. The letter informed me that I had b...een referred to the Voluntary Recovery Program (VRP) because the Department of State received information indicating that I was charged with a DUI. The letter stated that I had five days to contact the Pennsylvania Nurse Peer Assistance Program (PNAP) to make arrangements for an evaluation. The Draconian tone of the letter inferred that I was an alcoholic and needed treatment. My DUI was an isolated incident. I agree that it was irresponsible but it occurred on my personal time. I would never compromise the safety of my patients. There are stringent terms and restrictions for anyone who agrees to participate on the VRP. If one enrolls in the VRP, you cannot administer controlled substances, work in a critical care unit (ER, ICU, cath lab, etc), work as an agency nurse or a supervisor. Random drug tests are required at one’s own expense. Use of any product containing alcohol products including alcohol-based hand sanitizer is prohibited. Mandatory attendance at support groups is required. The usual time frame that one is enrolled in the VRP is at least three years. I almost signed the VRP form and mailed it. I was going to allow someone from the state evaluate me. My gut feeling told me that this was not a good idea. I searched the web, read blogs and reviewed multiple attorney websites. I contacted Richard Hark, Esq. He returned my call immediately. He explained what was going to happen. I chose Richard to represent me and that was one of the best decisions of my life. Richard always returned my calls, text messages and emails. If he was too busy, he told me when he would contact me and he did. His admin, Jessica, is wonderful. I highly recommend Richard Hark, Esq. to represent you for professional licensing matters. He is the best!
