Roger P. Foley

I googled Florida DUI attorneys and came accross one of the few lawyers that is competent to take the case to trial. Italked to a few lawyers. Office was clean, staff was top notch, staff answered all my questions first time around, returned phone calls and emails. Generally, a great experience. ... On day of multiple trials Mr. Foley was ready but they were not and today on Final day of trial as we were picking jury they asked for side bar and I did not know what was going on. The case was reduced to a reckless. Even at the last minute you continued to add value to my case by covering all the bases with the court. I would recommend The Law Office of Roger P. Foley to any with a DUI issue.

One night I was celebrating my birthday and was driving home around 12pm near turnpike. I was going a few miles over speed limit and was pulled over. They asked me if I had anything to drink but never asked over how long a period. I had drank 4-5 beers 6 hour period. As i exited the vehicle i nee...ded my cane because of a full hip replacement and the officers said sure. Then he asked me to do exercises but I said i was unable. He just said I needed to do them. He never said he would modify but considered it a refusal of the exercises. I told him I would give a breath. Police officer was rude discourteous and not willing to look at fact that I had an impairment. I was arrested and taken to substation and my breath was .199. I knew there was no way that i could blow that high after only having 4-5 beers over a 5-6 hour period. Then I went to main jail. It was horrible because i am diabetic and they took my cane so I could not walk. They then transferred me to med wing. I found Mr. Foley from Steve at the bailbonds office. I met with Attorney RP Foley and was put at ease. Foley also made me a payment plan because I could not afford fees upfront. When I asked him questions he knew all the answers so I felt confident. Although I was confident in foley as time went by I became nervous of what would happen and then the state came with their deal. That was very stressful because they were throwing the book at me and there was no deal. After talking with Lawyer Foley, he said " although I can't guarantee you anything- I am very confident in my ability to win this case and if I did not think I could win I would not blow smoke up your A$$." He came at me straight- not with legal mumbo jumbo and used examples on how he would fight and his strategy. Court date, after court date, I just wanted to be done worrying about it. Finally on my day of court- I never saw Mr. Foley argue befoore but it was obvious that he did his home work. He was very aggressive like a DOG WITH A BONE. HE would not give it up. The state was so confused by Mr. Foley's argument. He had the judge arguing with the state going< " i never thought about that state but Mr. Foley is right who is she do certify the machine do we even know if she is certified? WHy is she signing it?" and the state was lost. The Judge initially ruled against us and even found that the cops were lying and Foley proved it with his research but the judge did not agree at first. I was so confused because he proved it was a lie- I could feel his confidence and then Foley argued for another 11/2 after she ruled against him. For her to let Foley to continue arguing after she had meade her ruling I thought maybe she ws starting to get his argument. She allowed him 48 hours to draft a memorandum about the eye test and how it could not establish a reason for police to arrest me. He said that the case law was against what the judge was saying but she wanted a case from 17th judicial circuit. He did his research and filed documents she wanted. Mr. Foley called me three weeks later and asked if I wanted the good news or the bad news. I took the bad news and he said your date has been changed again. SO whats the good news, I asked and he said that she changed her mind and granted our motion. We won! I was not sure if everything was thrown out but it all got dismissed and the state decided not to appeal the judge. Iwould recommend Mr. Foley in a heartbeat for any criminal case in Florida. I have had other criminal attorneys in the past but Attorney RP Foley is hands down the best I have ever had.

I was getting ready for gym and a man came with a black dodge charger. He asked me my name and he told me to sit down and 7-8 sunrise cops came. Then several police from Stuart Florida came with a search warrant. They showed me some internet pics of what my son had been doing on internet. (Sexual... organs between my son an a girl) . They took all our computers and later he was arrested. I called a lawyer friend who told me what to expect and then I went to the bail bondsman. He recommended Mr. Foley and my lawyer friend told me to go with Mr. Foley because he could do a better job than she could. After meeting with Foley I had very good vibes and hired him. I was not that nervous about prison but I was about my son being a registered sex offender. My wife was upset about the process and what was happening on the internet. Although he was a first offfender she was worried about prison. The anticpation of waiting for an answer from the courts on what would happen was nerve racking. Foley had told us no news was good news and to hang tight and the longer it lasted the better chance we had. On the last day of court we were very please with the outcome. The bailbondsman was right about Foley. Mr. Foley went in front of the judge and we were scared about whether they would take what mr. foley proposed. The sex cahrges were deleted and my son got two years probation for an internet crime of unlawfully using a computer. Therefore his record can be sealed after the probation and exxpunged in 10 years. Nobody will ever know about his sex charges. Once his probation is over for the non-sex case we will seal his record. Our family would highly recommend Mr. Foley to anyone needing acriminal trial lawyer

was charged with carrying a knhife at school which is a felony which means up to 5 years florida prison.I was referred by the bailbondsman. I was very stressed out and my family was stressed as well. I was worried about having a permenant record. I had never been in this situation before then thro...ugh our prayers i found Roger P Foley. I did not at first think i would win the case but then after working with the law office i realized how motivated he was for real justice. I had issues in school with gangs and bad influences. My parents and I went to the school and spoke to the people oin charge and nobody wanted to help me and then this situation occurred. Luckily I met Mr. Foley and guided me thru this case. He guided my parents and I through it and was very black and white about the process of what it was going to take to get a positive outcome. After the depositions Mr. Foley proved that there was no evidence. He then shared with the prosecutor and the prosecutor would not give in or drop charges until we announced ready for trial. The state made me a stupid offer but i rejected it knowing that i had confidence in my Lawyer. Finally, today at the last moment when we were going to trial the state finally dismissed the charges- they finally say the light and the truth. I can now go on with my life w/o a criminal record

In March 2010, I violated probation from a positive urinalysis. Prior to my violation, I had not taken my situation seriously, a naive young-minded position I truly regret. In either case, the lawyer I had at the time, charged me a bunch more money to deal with the violation. I tried calling him to p...repare for the court date, but he was extremely unresponsive and just told me he would talk to me at the courthouse. On the court date, he told me I could walk out of the court the same day and everything would be over, I simply had to adjudicate to my original charge of felony possession of 1 gram of cocaine. I asked him about other options and he said that he could present a case to the judge, but it was up in the air and most likely I would end up in jail for 5 years. I didn't know what to do, and while I was still contemplating, he went ahead with the deal to adjudicate me. He presented paperwork and at that point, I was so confused, I just signed it, believing that my lawyer was making the best decision for me. A few days later, I tried to call my lawyer because I found out my license would be suspended, that I would lose many civil rights, and have consequences that would follow me the rest of my life. When I spoke to the lawyer he told me that there was nothing I could do and hung up on me. I searched around and found Roger P. Foley as well as several other lawyers. Out of 5 lawyers I called, only 2 called me back. The first wanted to charge me a fortune to even meet with me. Roger, called me back after hours the same day I called his office. He was polite, empathetic, and wanted me to come to his office to meet the next day. When I met with him and told him everything that happened, he told me specifically what he could do and was confident he could help. He said that it was imperative we acted fast, as we only had 10 days to file a motion to vacate the order. If I had listened to my previous lawyer, I would have been stuck with a felony on my record for life. Between that time and the court date, Roger was very responsive and spoke to me many times on the phone. On the court date, Roger talked to the State Attorney, pointing out several flaws in the order as well as making a case as to why adjudicating me was an extreme response to a first violation of probation. When the case was called in front of the judge, he asked to go sidebar with the judge (a tactic the Judge thanked him for later). He spoke to the judge and the state attorney together for a while and when he walked away, he gave me a thumbs up. It was at that point, I knew everything would be okay. In the end, my probation was reinstated, my adjudication remained withheld, and my life was back on track. I am truly grateful to have met Roger and recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer who actually cares!
