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.

Dealing with attorneys is not easy, but dealing with John Foley was!

Obviously, when dealing with a divorce, most of the time (hopefully), it's the first time you have to deal with an attorney. Mr. Foley made the experience as comfortable as possible. He was great with explaining the process to me and gave me realistic expectations. He took my calls and called me b...ack when he was not available and I had to leave a message. Mr. Foley truly had my best interest in mind the whole time. And, it was very important to me that when I called or met him in court, he knew my case and didn't treat me like "just another client". Thank you, Mr. Foley!

Highly Recommended!

I highly recommend Mr. Foley. He represented me in my divorce action. He kept me informed of every thing going on in my case from the beginning to the end. Whenever I called, which was often, he always took the time to answer my questions, which were many! He was forthright when I was being unrea...sonable and when we were in court he fought for me and we were able to amicably settle my case.
