Seasoned attorney with relentless energy, superior skills and results!

I give Attorney John R. Foley the highest recommendation for his exceptional representation in my most complicated legal case. He has been everything I wanted and more. John R. Foley is a seasoned attorney with relentless energy. He knows the law inside and out and has a remarkable memory. Hard...-nosed and articulate yet personable and a patient listener, John R. Foley provided clear guidance that was essential in navigating through the legal system. I found John R. Foley to be an insightful strategist staying several steps ahead of the proceedings. Always available and quick to respond to my questions, John R. Foley took a personal interest in my case. I felt comfortable working with John R. Foley as he was thorough, efficient, and frugal. I was impressed as he successively turned around my most complicated case at both the circuit and appellate court levels. John R. Foley has gained the respect of the courthouse through his clear and accurate application of the law. John R. Foley’s partner and son, Patrick A. Foley, follows in his father’s footsteps and brings hi-tech to the legal profession. Patrick A. Foley often counseled on my case to assure all the details were iron clad tight. The Foleys are supported by an exceptional staff that always got the job done. I am very pleased with Attorney John R. Foley, Patrick A. Foley and their staff and give them the highest recommendation for practicing law with superior skill, enthusiasm, integrity, and results. Matthew February 11, 2018

Very dishonest. Go somewhere else!

Extremely unprofessional, charges outrageous fees after the initial retainer. He will take your money and lie to your face!! Don't do it.

Great Lawyer !!!

Mr. Foley was my attorney in a very difficult custody dispute. Mr. Foley was an excellent negotiator and a fantastic orator in Court. The Judges listened to his arguments. He was able to quickly and effectively explain my rights and the possible solutions. I highly recommend Mr. Foley as an attorney!...!!

Grade A Attorney. Best in town.

I retained John R. Foley and his son Patrick Foley in early 2014 after leaving another attorney. It was like a light was turned on, and the confusion ended there. Mr. Foley explained everything to me in detail, but with simple, understandable explanations. He took over and got aggressive; not arrogan...t or unfriendly, just aggressive. I went from being "on the ropes" with every-other-weekend, 2 overnights, to nearly 50/50 time with my children. We prepared for trial and showed up ready, my ex caved the morning of trial. I could not be more pleased with my representation.

Posted by anonymous | May 25, 2015 | Divorce & Separation

The Best Divorce Attorney in Michigan!

I was married for 23 years. My ex and I have 3 children. My wife and I both work long hours; but I naively believed that my marriage was not just OK, but going great. I was blindsided when she served me with divorce papers. In hindsight, I had me head in the sand. I came home from work to find the l...ocks changed, and my belongings on the driveway. A good friend recommended John, because he was the opposing attorney against him in his own divorce! John slowly but surely changed the tide of the case. John got the judge to revoke the "emergency" (based on lies) orders that she had entered removing me from the house, and forcing me to continue paying for everything. Ultimately, she was removed from the house. When John finished investigating her, and we confronted her and her attorney with the evidence of her multiple affairs, I was awarded physical custody and the majority of parenting time. Her request for me to pay for attorneys and to pay her spousal support were both denied.
