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.

One of the very best criminal defense attorneys

I was aware of a pending criminal charge, did my research and scheduled a consultation with Jason Foy. He spoke to me at length, gave me more info than I paid for. He is one of the most intelligent lawyers, it is evident that he is fully vested in providing his clients with the best service. He kno...ws his stuff and will represent you to the best of his knowledge and ability. He's the man!

Most Excellent Counsel

I was referred to Jason by another attorney. I had false allegations brought against me and I met with Jason to discuss. He was non judgemental and understood what was going on in my situation. When the other party reached out to him he spent his time with them to try and diffuse the situation. A...t trial, his deep knowlegde of the law made for a quick technical breakdown of of the plantiff's case. His demeanor is professional, he is trustworthy, his 'service' is top notch. He is truly your advocate Case was dismissed and my name was cleared.

From 2nd Degree Charge to Dismissal & Expungment

I was charged with a 2nd-degree crime . It was a complicated situation that was provoked by my son's defiant behavior. As a result, I interviewed three lawyers. After speaking with Jason Foy, I hired Jason to represent me. What I like about Jason - he is competent, confident, clear, clever, and c...aring. For example, he was very sensitive to how the charges affected my employment. He worked on the special arrangement for the family to travel. Jason is very professional. He gives a written contact with fees and services. He is very driven for justice and fairness for his clients. He doesn't settle for the status quo decision or outcome. He worked hard for a dismissal. His office is very clean and organized . He is available on the phone or in person. His office provided all documentation and updates via email. Jason was able to get a dismissal and expedited expungement for the case he was hired for. I give Jason five out of five stars. He is a five-star lawyer.

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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
