Top notch representation

My experience with this firm was better than I could have ever expected. The lawyers at this firm are responsive, compasdionate, and knowledgeable. I was blown away by the quality of representation, within the court room. It was clear that they are in a class of their own and their professionalism... and knowledge shined bright during court proceedings. I highly recommend this firm.

Great law firm

Best law firm around. Attorney Coleman,Watkins was my attorney on this case and she was amazing. From our first conversation to me getting custody of my kids today exactly the way I wanted it she was a complete professional and very responsive to all my calls and e-mails. Again this law firm is amazi...ng. I highly recommend the Foster Law Firm

So thankful to have had this team in my corner during a very difficult time. Would recommend them to anyone in need of professional counsel that are totally focused.

Knowledgeable Professional Teamwork

Knowledgeable Professional Teamwork is the essence of The Foster Law Firm. They are dedicated in working your case and helping you reach the desired outcome. The Staff is Friendly and courteous. I had the esteem pleasure of working with Attorney Coleman-Watkins, Sharon Moret, Jada Bounds, and Gena... Hargrove. Ms. Moret worked step by step with me ensuring that all the “T’s” were crossed and “I’s” were dotted. Ms. Bounds coordination and emails kept me informed of all the meetings and appointments. There expertise is beyond compare. Attorney Coleman-Watkins counsel helped me to understand what my options were and helped me to make the best decision for me. She does not just tell you what you want to hear but gives you the legal understanding so that you can make an informed decision. I also had the pleasure to speak with Mr. Aundray Foster. He helped me to understand my invoices and was very helpful in ensuring that I was comfortable with everything that was done. I truly enjoyed working with this team and I would recommend them to anyone who needs legal representation.

I’m quite grateful for the referral to law firm

Attorney Foster is a pit bull in the courtroom. She’s very transparent with her clients. My son needed an attorney for violating his probation. Attorney Foster would return my calls personally and has even reached out to answer my questions after hours. When we went to court my son was released on ba...il and I had to pay $0.00. I pray that I never have to call her again but if an attorney is needed in the future for me or anyone that I know I would have to hire Attorney Foster again.

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 14

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Foster on a number of criminal matters. In our most recent criminal trial together, we not only obtained a not guilty on 4 criminal counts, but Ms. Foster was able to get a veteran law enforcement officer to recant his entire testimony. This officer was a key witness for the prosecution, and was instrumental in obtaining the acquittal for our client. Ms. Foster is a passionate, caring, and diligent advocate for her clients."
