Wyatt Hammond Review
Mr. Foy represented me in my lowest time and it was greatly appreciated. He was fair and honest with me always. He never told me what I wanted to hear, but tirelessly worked for the results I wanted to hear. We ran into many challenges, but it really never appeared so. Instead under Jason Foy's leadership, these situations turned into quick fixes. Under the 6th amendment, everyone accused of a crime has the right to assistance of counsel for their defense. That is exactly what Jason Foy was to me from day one as soon as we retained his counsel. without his assistance, I truly would not have come to the same results as I did. I was able to call on Mr. Foy at any time for any reason and I greatly appreciated that. He truly made me feel human while dealing with this dehumanizing time in my life.

Don’t Call “Sal”. You Better Call Jason u
I not only recommend attorney Jason Foy, but I guarantee once you have used his service you too will look no further. He responds in an extreme timely matter, he is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. I caught a firearms case and he did not stop until my case was dismissed. If you watched the show “Power” on Stars you know the lawyer Joe Proctor was ice cold when it came to his job. He has nothing on Mr. Foy.

Jason Foy is the Best!
At the beginning of my problems, Mr. Foy made himself available to explain the entire process to my family and me patiently. In addition, he was accessible throughout the process to patiently answer my many questions and request and continue to support me until the case was over. I can confidently recommend Mr. Foy without hesitation!

TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY JASON FOY
Jason is very professional, responsive, knowledgeable and provides excellent service. Not only was I fighting a federal case, I was fighting a “HIGH PROFILE” federal case. This case took 2 years but Jason never wavered. Jason fought for me like I was one of his own!! 2 years later my case was DISMISSED!!! Hands down the world’s best criminal defense attorney in NJ & NY!! You won’t ever regret him.

Best Decision Ever!
I was referred to Jason by another attorney and it was the best decision we made. I hired him to defend my sons who were falsely accused of assault and conspiracy. Throughout this entire ordeal, Jason never waivered from his commitment to provide my sons with the best representation possible. His knowledge and expertise is outstanding, but it is his calm and confident demeanor that truly put me at ease. In the end, both of my sons walked away with no felony/criminal charges. I hope to never need his services again, but if I do, Jason would be the first person I call.

Excellent Service
I want to thank Mr. Jason Foy with all my heart for his help, dedication with my case and the success of the final conclusions. The dimensions of his professionalism, competence, attorney skills and warmly sincere empathy are a few of the many qualities that describe him. Anyone can take for granted, without the slightest doubt that if a great attorney is needed to defend their right, he is the best option. He reassured me from the early beginning. His confidence and firmness in my sensitive and delicate as such as serious case gave me the peace of mind that I needed to keep my faith alive about the positive outcome of my case. I would recomment Mr. Jason Foy to anyone that needs legal representation!

The Best Decision
SUPER LAWYER!!! Mr. Jason Foy is the epitome of a super lawyer! As complex as my federal narcotics conspiracy case was Mr. Foy’s guidance helped me achieve what I believe was the most favorable outcome for my particular situation while maintaining my freedom and dignity. He was well versed in the laws and strategies available that were applicable to my case. He was always available and willing to answer any questions I may of had even though he probably already answered the question before I even asked it. He was very patient and thoughtful during my tumultuous time. Federal charges can be as confusing as learning another language and Mr. Foy supported me every step of the way. He understands the language of the defendant and speaks the language of the court. I started on a very rough road and Mr. Foy got me to the finish line with the least amount of bumps and bruises possible for my situation without causing anyone else bumps and bruises as well. I'm told that the sentence I received is practically unheard of without cooperating and I believe I owe that to Mr. Foy eloquently conveying my situation and appealing to the judges discretion in his submissions which enabled the judge to use her wisdom and authority appropriately for my case. Mr. Foy was worth every penny in my book, In fact I may have even underpaid for his 5 star representation. I have no regrets in regards to retaining Jason Foy legal services. My family and others questioned why I would spend the money I spent and now they understand why. You cannot put a price on your freedom (I wasn’t going to at least). I needed the right man for the job and in my case that was Jason Foy! Best of luck to anyone reading this in a similar unfortunate situation like mine but you cannot go wrong with a SUPER LAWYER like Jason Foy standing on your left side in a U.S. Federal courtroom!

The most well rounded, Packaged Individual You will ever meet
Mr. Jason Foye has recently served as our defense attorney. Throughout the process of our case Jason diligently covered all basis part of our case and beyond. Jason displayed an unbelievable amount of organization and assertiveness with his information and fact gathering. One of the various things that Jason does best is his ability to communicate and express his truth. Jason makes it very clear upfront that he is trustworthy , reliable and stern in fighting for justice and what's right. Overall it was an honor and a pleasure to have the opportunity to have Jason as our defense attorney and I appreciate him and his firm for everything they do for the people and the community.

Select the Best and leave the rest.
Mr. Jason Foy is a man of integrity, skill and knowledge. He represented me in a unique criminal case and did an outstanding and awesome job. He is an exceptional attorney and I recommend him to anyone needing legal counsel. He is always well prepared before he steps into a courtroom to advocate on his client’s behalf. He knows the law and he uses it to his client's best interest. My case was incredibly unique and complicated in front of man, but God used this incredible attorney with great wisdom to do the job masterfully. Mr. Jason's attention to detail is extraordinary. He always researched the appropriate law that helped bolster my case in my favor. His display of courtroom discipline and conduct makes him a very formidable advocate to put forth the best representation that one could hope for. Mr. Jason in court is a direct reflection of the thoroughness and toughness that he and his firm are well known for. His law firm is the quintessential embodiment of professionalism. Mr. Foy was always prompt with all my calls and always communicated his availability with me advance so that I was never stranded. His level of compassion was truly heartfelt and reassuring. At the end of the day, he didn’t only help me with winning my case, but helped me gain the reuinion with my family. I unequivocally recommend Mr. Jason to anyone in need of the best loyal and compassionate advocate available period. You will never be disappointed in retaining him as your attorney. I have great comfort and confidence in knowing that I can sit here today, while typing this review with complete candor and satisfaction. My humble advice to whoever is seeking a criminal lawyer is to go with the best and leave the rest. I wish Mr. Jason the best always in his practice and future endeavors.

One of the GREAT ones!
Mr. Jason Foy was incredible with his performance and service from the beginning to the end of our case. He always made himself available to any questions we had, and never made us feel unintelligent for not understanding the legal terms and processes. We had A LOT of questions yet Mr. Foy never once lost his patience with repeating himself or explaining things in a simplified non-legal manner. We never felt ignored even though Mr. Foy was managing other cases, he was always present. Mr. Jason was thorough with every aspect of our case; he asked every question needed, composed a phenomenal submission, submitted every request needed early and more- no part was left unaddressed. All of this played a part in us getting a positive outcome in our case. We didn't feel like just another client in Mr. Foy's book, but he fought for us with his all. Mr. Foy possesses everything we could have asked for in a lawyer. Attorney's like him are incredibly rare. You want the attorney representing you to have excellent written communication skills, to be an excellent listener, assertive, personable and one that perseveres, and Jason Foy possesses all of these qualities and more!

Great Experience
From the beginning of my consultation, Jason Foy was very comforting, knowledgeable and honest. The level of comfort that the consultation afforded me led to me hiring Mr. Foy for my case. As a result of a potential charge, I was going to lose my license. Although not being dismissed, Jason guidance and work on my behalf led to me to be able to enter a program that I was adamantly denied; I was able to retain my license and maintain employment. Betons fight hard for my case, Jason was a major factor in maintain a level head and sanity. I highly recommend Jason as he is honest, efficient and diligent.

Absolutely the best. I highly recommend!
My son had legal issues that could have affected his and his whole familys' life. Thank GOD I found Mr. Jason Foy and Mr. James Seplowitz. They are very professional and courteous. By far they are the best criminal defense attorney in Bergen County. Even though they are extremely busy and have more serious cases than mine, they made me feel like my case was their top priority and they helped me get through it to find the best possible outcome. They are very efficient, extremely knowledgeable and get the job done promptly. They always returned my phone calls. I highly recommend them to anyone who may need an attorney.

Superlawyer!
A superlawyer is personable, responsive, strategic, and knows the law. Mr. Foy is all of the above and deserves more stars than Avvo allows. He was exceptional throughout my entire case. I provided him with a hundred page discovery, and he read it immediately. During our consultation, he was able to give me a probable outcome based on the discovery, my charges, and the law. Mr. Foy returned all my calls within 24 hours. Mr. Foy was astonishing in court! He quoted case law throughout the trial, ask strategic questions during cross-examination, and repeatedly had his objections sustained by the judge. I faced three separate criminal charges, which Mr. Foy represented me and all of them got dismissed.

"Jason has served as a great mentor and friend for years. Before I stepped out into private practice, I studied his every move due to (1) his stellar reputation within the NYC and NJ courts; and (2) his ultimate success rate. As a former prosecutor, he has made the transition to criminal defense as well as any attorney I have ever seen. Whenever I have a question, especially as concerns NJ criminal law and procedure, he's the first person I call for advice and guidance. He's hands down a fantastic lawyer and certainly professionally speaking I am very blessed to know him."
