Gave our daughter a new start

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.

Poor defense

He promise to fight very hard in my case, and for not making me a defense well prepared now I am living in my home country I lost my residence and you to leave the USA voluntarily leaving my family helpless he is not able to represent people who do not Are American citizens do not know how to fight a... case of this indoles assault aggravated with firearm. Be very careful with this lawyer does not comply with what he says. And asks you money for everything and every week he does not see your files just one day before cutting on my part I do not recommend it, I think it's racist so it did not help me at all I was not able to lower my felony at all and that That I had an impeccable record I never had criminal records of any kind, not even for that, it helped me.

This crime alleged in the review is a very serious crime. It requires lots of work to fight this type of case and it can be costly to fight. When a potential client consults with my office they are given choices on how to handle the case. They can opt to resolve the case or they can fight the case. It is always the clients choice. After discovery arrives, all the evidence against the client, the case is again reviewed with the client and options on how to proceed are shared. The client makes the choice. I am unsure who this person is as its signed anonymous. However, If they are or were a client then I am prohibited from responding unless they sign a waiver based on confidentiality. If this person is indeed a client or was then please email me privately to discuss further. Thank you
