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 h...is 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 onc...e 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.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
