Amazing lawyer that’s thorough and puts up a fight!

I was arrested for convicted felon in possession of a firearm, armed trafficking and trafficking 25-2000lbs of marijuana. I had retained another lawyer prior to finding Mr. Foley. The prior lawyer basically pushed it off until the courts wanted a trial. The problem was his solution was for me to coop...erate with the police which i was not going to do. I immediately started looking for another attorney and found Mr. Foley. This wasn’t my first rodeo so I set up a in person consultation to get a feel for things with him. Within 20 min of talking with Mr. Foley I knew he was the representation I needed. The courts were asking for 20 years and weren’t budging. I had the nastiest prosecutor who was a complete *****. Foley was able to start working the case immediately and within 2 months got the armed trafficking dropped. The trafficking was still there. We started prepping for a trial since they were playing hardball. Foley did an immense amount of prep for this case and met up with me multiple times to go over everything. One day he calls me and tells me he’s got an offer for 3 years but thinks he can do better. He gave me a 80% chance of winning the case in trial but the dark side of it all was if I lost in trial I would get 15-20 years. He was able to negotiate 2 years in prison with no probation and was still confident that I could win at trial. Since I got caught red handed and I was indeed guilty of the trafficking I told him I was going to take those two years in prison and be done with it. He said “are you sure? We have a pretty good shot at this in trial” my response was if it isn’t 100% guaranteed that we win I’m not going to risk 15-20 years of my life. What Mr. Foley was able to achieve with a short amount of prep time was amazing. He’s a no frills, straight up honest attorney. Works like an animal on the cases he takes in. I did my two years in prison and out my past behind me. I’m grateful to have had Mr. Foley on my side. If it wasn’t for him I would of been doing 15-20 years in prison. If I ever needed a attorney again I would without a doubt hire Mr. Foley. Thanks brother and God bless you.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your incredibly kind words. It means a lot to me that you trusted me to handle such a serious and life-altering case. I’m grateful we were able to achieve a resolution that allowed you to move forward in a positive manner. Your strength and courage in making those tough decisions were truly commendable. I also want to express my heartfelt thanks again for the Bible you gifted me. That gesture will never be forgotten. It serves as a constant reminder of why I do what I do and the importance of helping people in their most difficult moments. Without God, I could never achieve the results that my clients boost about. I am but a tool. It was an honor to stand by your side and fight for you. If you ever need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out. Wishing you nothing but success, peace, and blessings in this next chapter of your life. God bless you, brother!

Armed Drug Trafficking and Gun Possesion Dismissed

I got in a car with a friend of mine and we went to eat. Out of no where he was pulled over by police and they charged both of us but I was charged with drug trafficking armed and possession of firearm. I was really scared. I was innocent. I did not know there were drugs in the car. I had afirearm... and permit for the weapon. I knew I needed the best attorney by my side. I went on google and searched for best attorneys in Palm Beach County. I read everything about him. After that I made appointment, we went over the charges and he was honest with me. He told me the good and the bad and made me comfortable. I knew I had the right guy to fight for me. I hired him. 7 months later he got all my charges dropped. I highly recommend Mr. Roger P. Foley for any criminal charges. He is the guy you want to hire to fight for your rights.

20 to life case to be dismissed

My wife was attacked by two other females and I tried to protect her. I yelled at them to stop but when I tried to intervene it was not possible to stop them. My wife was pregnant at the time so I had fear that she and the baby were in danger. I wanted to protect my wife and unborn child and feared... losing the baby. I knew I had a gun in the car and I grabbed the gun and fired two shots in the air to make them stop. They did. We then left and I called the police but when I got to my destination the police arrived two to three hours later and they arrested my wife and I. My wife's case was demised but I was charged with 10 20 life charge for aggravated assault with firearm and discharge of a firearm which is a mandatory 20 year sentence in the state of Florida. I hired Mr. Foley because I heard he was a good lawyer. It was a really hard case and we met 10-15 times to go through the process. At first they offered me 10 years in prison day for day, then they wanted 5 years probation and I did not accept. They then took back the offer so I was facing 20 mandatory years. Then he filed for a motion which took two days for him to argue. I was scared. There was 6-7 witnesses and the judge needed to make a decision. I knew the witnesses were lying but mr. Foley during cross examination he showed they were making up stories and stuff. After the motion we were going to come back again for the judge to decide but Mr. Foley was working really hard on the case and a few days prior to going to Court I received a call from Mr. Foley telling me that the state was going to reduce the charge from a 20 to life to Misdemeanor and I could go ahead and get my gun permit then I have to complete some classes and community service and then all the charges will be dismissed. I am very happy that Mr. Foley beat the case and I did not go to prison. My wife and I have just had another baby and I am so happy to have my family and not be in a prison. I feel like I hired the right lawyer. He is real good. During the whole process I had financial problems and he worked with me because he believed me and said he would help. He said he would do everything to beat the case and he did. I am proud of him and his firm.

Lesson learned! They are not all bad!

Pulled over by police and they asked me for my dl. I had my firearm with me and they took me out the car and sat me down. THey claimed to smell some weed. Then they searched and found the weed and the gun and they confiscated everything and charged me with a second degree felony for transporting d...rugs and using a firearm. Referred by a friend who said that Foley was the "best in the business". Foley called me and told me that he had the felony dismissed on a technicality. Today I went to court and my only charge was a traffic ticket. I have to pay $105. I consider it a blessing from God that the charges were dropped and no more weed for me or anything to do with that type of stuff. I will continue to refer Mr. Foley criminal cases as long I live in South Florida.

Two Felonies and Facing ten years in prison

I was arrested for receiving money from prostitution, including a 2nd degree felony for a gun charge because my assets exceeded the government's limit I could not have a public defender. After reading multiple reviews for various lawyers in South FLorida I chose Roger P. Foley because is reviews were... clearly from clients and not other lawyers. I saw reviews from other lawyers that had been written from other lawyers or sounded fake, Like prostitutes who write their own reviews on "the erotic review". Mr. Foley's reviews told me that my best opportunity to survive this nightmare was to go see him. The case has lasted 6 months but during that period Mr. Foley was able to get the weapons charged dismissed. Today we went before the judge regarding the the felony receiving money from prostitutes charge and Mr. Foley worked out a plea agreement where I received "adminstrative probation" for one year with no conviction. Thats a really great outcome because as llong as i do not get arrested I don't have anything special and don't have to go see a probatiion officer. I am free to travel wherever I want an thats important for my new job. Its not cheap but if your case is important to you then Roger Foley is the lawyer to see

Money is clearly not his God. Knowledge of the law and procedure is excellent as is evident from his avvo contributions. Giving back to the public pro bono on sites like avvo is a blessing to all those looking for answers including attorneys who are mentored via the vast resource of answers left for the public.
