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.

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!

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.

"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."
