Roger P. Foley

I ws placed on probation since 2009 and have been good. I work in Miami and one night i was driving and was pulled over by police. When they checked my id they pulled me out of the car at gunpoint and made me get on the ground. They searched my car and found a cigar and arrested me for possession ...of cannabis, resisting arrest because i kept saying to test it because it was not weed, and disobeying an officer. He said your not the type of guy that smokes a cigar thats why he did not tyest it. Eventually it was tested and it was what i said. This caused me to be violated broward cases. One of three charges stayed but state dropped weed and resisting charges. My broward probation officer was not told because i was scared because i was not suppossed to be in Miami. When he found out he told me he was violating me. He told my mom that i was sneaky and he would run away. I then found lawyer Roger P Foley because this probation officer would try to have me put in prison. In speaking to mr. Foley he was confident and Icfelt like he knew what he was talking about. The other lawyers i met did not do that. My mom says that it was his voice of confidence. He said he would treat me like brother and no lawyer ever said something like that to me. I kept calling him over and over- they kept saying relax they would take care of it and not to worry. I was skepticle but on the day Mr. Roger P. Foley went in and did his thing and knocked down. Convinced the judge and the state to reinstate my probation and give me a curfew and drug tests. Even though this was adult court because im 27 it allowed the judge and state to work with me because my probation officer gave me 12 violations and i think he wanted me to do life in prison :) I could only be given 10 years but this probation officer does not like me. When in court Mr. Foley not only got it reinstated i can now travel for any purpose in the tricounty area. I definitely recommend Lawyer foley because he his honest, aggresssive, and strong in court.

I was a soliciting business for my job and was stoped by police. They asked to search my car and I asked why but my wife spoke up and said yes and gave her consent. The police found marijuana and I was arrested and taken to jail. We did a search on the internet and found attorney Roger P. Foley. ... We met him and found him to be very helpful. He set up a payment plan that we could handle and that made things easier. My job was effected by the arrest and caused me many problems but when Mr. Foley called and said he had the case dismissed my nummbers for my sales spiked. I guess I was nervous about goiing to jail, getting probation and having to pay big fines and or drug classes The one thing that stood out was that everytime I called the office he and his staff treated me like they were just talking to family. That made it easier. I would recommend Roger P. Foley to anyone with a drug case as he is very good at specifying the the problems in drug cases and fixing them.

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!

We cannot speak highly enough of Roger Foley. Our daughter has spent years battling addiction with numerous times in rehab and on the street. After she was arrested and jailed for possession we hired Roger by finding him on line. It has turned out to be one of the luckiest events we have had on this ...terrible journey. After she spent six weeks in jail, he was able to keep her in diversion and got her released to a recovery center. Unfortunately, she left and reoffended. At that point, she was facing multiple charges and it looked likely that she would eventually wind up in prison. Although her position seemed impossible to defend, Roger went to work and doggedly pursued every avenue, tracked down every detail and exerted influence everywhere he could. After she spent six months in jail, he was able to get her court ordered to a long term treatment program. He could have gotten her into a short term facility but he knew she needed more than that--he treated her like she was his own sister. Upon completion of her program she will not have a felony and he was even able to restore her much encumbered driving license. Every time when it looked like the worst was going to happen, he went back at it, changing strategy and redoubling his efforts. There are certainly varying opinions, and as parents of an adult child suffering from addiction we have asked ourselves if we have become the ultimate enablers, helping our daughter escape the legal system. Considering the possible outcomes (prison, the street, death), we are sure we made the right decision. Our daughter is motivated and in a good place and, because of Roger Foley, she has a chance to have a good life. It is hard to imagine a lawyer who cares more or works harder than Roger Foley.
