I'm Mark Jaffe, founder of Mark H. Jaffe Attorney at Law, and I represent clients throughout Central Jersey with a wealth of experience both as a former prosecutor and a public defender. Since establishing my firm in 1988, I have been personally committed to representing each client from our offices in Princeton, Kingston, and Monmouth Junction, NJ. I believe in never letting a client go to court alone, always advocating for them myself to ensure the best possible outcomes in a range of legal issues including criminal charges, family law matters, and real estate disputes.
I’m eager to use my comprehensive understanding of New Jersey’s legal system, gained from years on both sides of the courtroom and my active participation in law enforcement activities, to provide skilled and informed representation. Whether defending against criminal charges, navigating family law disputes, or managing real estate transactions, I'm here to secure the most favorable outcomes for my clients.
To discover how I can assist you, I encourage you to reach out for an initial consultation to discuss your legal rights and options.
