Jason Foy is highly recommended by me to resolve any criminal case. (Especially if the truth of your case leans more on your rightfully being more innocent than guilty or it's just plain lies as you being criminally guilty). Foy has an extremely competent team of supportive people he works with in his office. Usually someone actually answers the phone when you call his office. When you leave a message it is always responded to in a timely fashion. He is not afraid to tell you no. If no is the true answer. He is clear about what he can do, what he can't do, and what could possibly occur without any promises regarding things outside of his control. I am a woman and he treated me with respect of human dignity at all times and he does not treat you bad- like you are an inmate or a criminal. My criminal case was a mess because a prior over paid criminal attorney who was a former DA assistant, had been trying to get me to admit guilt to a lessor crime charge I sincerely did not even remotely do. I was completely innocent- and the prosecutor even admitted that i was innocent but they did not care as long as " I was criminally charged with something" as "punishment so that I was "guilty". Jason Foy and his team actually competently did their jobs, looked up the laws regarding my case and applied it to my defense in my case. It was the truth. It was a long shot where maybe we would win or maybe we wouldn't. But we won BIG. I was very lucky that I had been given the resources to hire him and clean up the mess from the other paid but not respectful criminal attorney. Do not hire any former DA's or similar for your criminal case. Their brains are wired to charge you and make friends with the people prosecuting you. Jason Foy is not anyones "friend". He is not going to be figuring out your case with a beer at the bar with the prosecutor. He is a professional. A very highly intelligent- of the most intelligent criminal lawyers in NYC area, and extremely professional with how he conducts his business. He is the kind of man who does it right, does it all the way, or he does it not at all. You can trust what he says. And you can trust his judgement. If you are a woman, you can know that this a safe zone for you. Your husband does not need to be on the phone with you to get the same level of attention.

I was lucky enough to have Mr . Foy as my lawyer, this transpired due to the lack of communication I was able to establish with my first attorney. Looking back in my opinion, hiring Mr. Foy was the most pivotal choice that I made throughout my entire defense process. I was charged with possession of ammunition in the southern district of New York which is the feds for those who don't know and ever since Mr. Foy was assigned my case the I could feel the landscape of my case sort of shift when you know you have somebody of that caliber and experience in their field going to bat for you. Mr. Foy made several attempts to get my case dismissed under grounds that probably would have gotten my case dismissed outright if it wasn't for the fact that my case was being tried in the SDNY . The reason it's important to state that is because Mr. Foy is an excellent lawyer and my case definitely had a good chance of being dismissed based on his defense that he presented during a suppression of evidence hearing in my case . Even though my case was not able to be dismissed, Mr. Foy was able to secure me the absolute best outcome aside from dismissal which was no prison, 6 months house arrest , and two years supervision. It's very important to state that this is not a sentence most lawyers are able to secure for their clients in federal court in any district let alone the southern district of New York. My case went on for four years and it was a very emotionally draining and stressful time period in my life. Now that I'm on house arrest with my family reflecting on how differently things could have been I had to take the time out to write this review because I honestly can't thank Mr. Foy enough for everything he has done in regards to his determination to provide me the absolute best defense he could , which I can definitely say resulted in as successful a defense as it could be given the circumstances of my charges and whom I was charged by . Thank you for everything Mr. Foy ! I can truly say I don't believe I would have recieved this outcome without you.

Hiring the right lawyer is crucial for the success of your case. Here are some important questions to ask during your initial consultation:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. Who will be handling my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  4. What is your approach to resolving cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. What potential outcomes can I expect?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the expected timeline for my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Hackensack, New Jersey?

Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:

  • Within the Same State:
    Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state.
  • Outside of Their Licensed State:
    If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:
    • Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
    • Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
  • International Representation:
    For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.

It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  • Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose.
  • Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history.
  • Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences.
  • Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards.
  • Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community.
  • Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  • Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their abilities and professionalism.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  • Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Contracts or agreements
    • Correspondence (emails, letters, texts)
    • Legal notices or court papers
    • Financial records (if applicable)
    • Evidence (photos, videos, receipts)
  • Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and parties involved. This helps the lawyer quickly understand the context.
  • List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, fees, or the lawyer's experience.
  • Financial Information:
    If your case involves financial matters, bring relevant documents like pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, or invoices.
  • Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case, including their names and contact information.
  • Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid photo ID for verification purposes.
  • Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points discussed.
  • Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations so the lawyer can provide appropriate guidance on fees and payment options.
  • Openness and Honesty:
    Be prepared to discuss your case candidly. Full disclosure allows the lawyer to give accurate advice and anticipate potential challenges.
