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 la...ws 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!

Excellent Attorney

Down to earth, Jason understands the language of the defendant and speaks the language of the court. I am very satisfied with his assistance and guidance throughout my legal proceedings.

Went above and beyond

He got me the best possible outcome for an extremely difficult case. I doubt I would be able to get my life back on track if not for his expertise, persistence, trust, and assistance.

"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."
