I focus on helping people through some unexpected life challenges. I have been a litigator and advocate my entire law career and believe that everyone is entittled to due process whether it be in the court room or in their education.
A large portion of my practice has always been juvenile defense - which encompasses many collateral issues relating to school discipline and educational advocacy. I work with clients in all arenas with learning disabilities, substance abuse issues, mental health issues and high stress and high conflict lives.
I enjoy guiding client's through the process and keeping them informed of the proceedings, especially in criminal cases where my clients are sometimes facing substantial prison time. These clients also often have families and kids that they are worried about and I help them plan for the uncertainty of a criminal conviction.
I love working with people and helping them navigate and address issues they or their children are having so that everyone can get back to their full potential.

Ticket Dismissed!
Ms. Foley saved me from years of auto insurance premium surcharges! With a relatively clean driving record, I was clocked by LIDAR speeding on the Mass Pike doing 80 in a 65 during a long ride home from a business trip by a MA State Police Officer. I am generally not a speeder and certainly didn't ...
