COULDNT ASK FOR A BETTER LAWYER

I was lucky enough to have Mr . Foy as my lawyer, this transpired due to the lack of communication I was able to establish with my first attorney. Looking back in my opinion, hiring Mr. Foy was the most pivotal choice that I made throughout my entire defense process. I was charged with possession o...f ammunition in the southern district of New York which is the feds for those who don't know and ever since Mr. Foy was assigned my case the I could feel the landscape of my case sort of shift when you know you have somebody of that caliber and experience in their field going to bat for you. Mr. Foy made several attempts to get my case dismissed under grounds that probably would have gotten my case dismissed outright if it wasn't for the fact that my case was being tried in the SDNY . The reason it's important to state that is because Mr. Foy is an excellent lawyer and my case definitely had a good chance of being dismissed based on his defense that he presented during a suppression of evidence hearing in my case . Even though my case was not able to be dismissed, Mr. Foy was able to secure me the absolute best outcome aside from dismissal which was no prison, 6 months house arrest , and two years supervision. It's very important to state that this is not a sentence most lawyers are able to secure for their clients in federal court in any district let alone the southern district of New York. My case went on for four years and it was a very emotionally draining and stressful time period in my life. Now that I'm on house arrest with my family reflecting on how differently things could have been I had to take the time out to write this review because I honestly can't thank Mr. Foy enough for everything he has done in regards to his determination to provide me the absolute best defense he could , which I can definitely say resulted in as successful a defense as it could be given the circumstances of my charges and whom I was charged by . Thank you for everything Mr. Foy ! I can truly say I don't believe I would have recieved this outcome without you.

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 DISMISS...ED!!! Hands down the world’s best criminal defense attorney in NJ & NY!! You won’t ever regret him.

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!

"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."
