Exceptional Representation

The worst thing in the world for me was ending up in an orange jumpsuit behind bars. I needed help on a firearms case, and I was at a loss. All I could envision was prison and never seeing my family again for a lapse in judgment. My wife contacted her brother-in-law, an attorney in NY, who referred M...r. Foy who practiced criminal defense in New Jersey. From the moment we met, he demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise. My wife and I could tell Jason had a deep knowledge of the legal system and I in fact needed someone like that who was committed to my case. Throughout the process, he made sure that he addressed every detail meticulously, and never left me surprised by anything in court. He was amazingly effective in communicating every step with patience and understanding, even those times the news may not have been what I wanted to hear. He always made himself available for any question on my case. At my lowest, he assured me that it was better than it appeared, and it often was. Jason’s approach made a challenging situation more manageable for myself and my wife. He had a strategic plan and he fought tirelessly on my behalf. His confident demeanor in court and thorough preparation; leaving no stone unturned led to a successful resolution for me. The work Jason and his team performed led to my acceptance into a PTI program which meant no prison time. I could breathe again and make sure I did well in the program for all his efforts. What truly sets Jason Foy apart is his empathetic approach and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome and being honest and forthcoming every step of the way. He has an unwavering desire to help those in crisis such as myself. I find it all too easy to highly recommend him and his team to anyone who needs legal counsel that will fight with all they have on your case. I thank God for Jason Foy and his team because I imagine where I might have landed without them. Mr. Foy is your only choice for legal representation so, don’t go to court without HIM!

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!

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.

All Charges dismissed and expunged

Jason E. Foy had been recommended to me by two other lawyers who knew him and worked with him on other criminal cases. In my initial conversation with Mr. Foy, and my subsequent meeting with him I hired Mr. Foy to represent me in criminal charges filed by the Port Authority of New York & New Jerse...y at Newark Airport while attempting to pick up my sister (a witness to the event) who had arrived and was waiting for me at the arrival platform. It was clear that he was a lawyer who knew the working of the court, the system, and in particular the one in Newark, which gave me the confidence that I needed. Mr. Foy was also a man who was personable, thoughtful, and listened to the facts of the story. He immediately requested discovery documentation, i.e. my 911 call, video, and police recorded conversations of the event. The only response from them prior to my first appearance was an Arrest Report which, when compared with my step-by-step written account, and illustrations of driving paths and encounters with the police of my 5 attempts to pick up my sister, highlighted the egregious false statements in the police arrest report. I also expect the major discrepancies in the account of events facilitated a dismissal of all charges and expungement. I credit Mr. Foy and all his knowledge and expertise that he brought to my defense. Having never been in a situation where I needed a criminal defense attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who would be in need of his service and skills. Today, with the escalating militaristic approach of policing and subsequent abuse and brutality toward the citizens that pay for their service to provide assistance and deescalate events, a lawyer who is attuned to these issues is paramount. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Foy and the swiftness of the resolution that he made happen.

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."
