Fantastic Mediator

John Foley mediated my divorce case. He was compassionate and very knowledgeable. On several points, he managed to get me more than I was willing to settle for, and spent a great deal of time making sure that we had all of the information we needed (some of which the other attorney had refused to gi...ve to my attorney before the mediation), before we agreed to a final settlement. I 100% recommend John Foley as a mediator.

DO NOT HIRE

He is a one sided attorney. He is very unprofessional. He takes the side that he likes, even if you have 100% proof. He is unfair, unprofessional. DO NOT HIRE. He doesn't even deserve the one star.

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.

Difficult time with a difficult situation

Unfortunately, John did not seem to have the time nor the discipline necessary to organize, follow up and communicate with me. Though perhaps well meaning and obviously experienced, he approached my case as if I do this all the time and understand the process and next steps involved in a divorce sett...lement. He enjoyed talking about his life and his experience and pontificating about his other cases in lieu of listening and taking notes on the one in front of him. This lead to multiple conversations about the same topics...all billable. Expect to have to call, email and follow up frequently to know where you stand, what the next steps entail and how things are progressing...And expect to pay for his time responding. John was not prepared, drafted incomplete and erroneous documents multiple times (billable as well)...all the way to the day of my settlement where, unable to attend, he inadvertently forgot to draft and send important documents needed to finalize the divorce. His admin staff is wonderful and did their best to assist...Divorce is difficult enough. Find an attentive attorney willing to take the time and make the effort to help guide you through it.

Divorce serices

I never felt like he did anything for me. I lost every point of discussion and it cost me well over $15,000 for his services. You can do what he did and save thousands or get a younger more aggressive lawyer,
