A True Advocate for Faculty!

As a professor at a local college, I contacted Attorney Foley when I felt that my job was in jeopardy due to
abrupt restructuring in my workplace coupled with a lack of transparency in administrative decisions. Brian’s background in higher education enabled him to quickly grasp the dynamics of my situation which immediately put me at ease. Moreover, his attentiveness to my concerns helped me see the big picture and decide what
was in my best interest regarding the terms of my new faculty contract. Simply put, Attorney Foley’s legal
advice was invaluable and I am truly grateful that he was in my corner.
Academic Background Was a Huge Plus!

Brian helped me regarding a tenure and promotion issue and was 100 percent successful! He helped me fight back aggressively to defeat a malicious, unfounded defamatory objection that would have hampered the progress of my career. He is amazing. He listened well. Unlike very few people I’ve ever met, he understood the psychology of the situation and used it to my advantage. A genius.

I requested a consultation with Brian to discuss a termination agreement. After he reviewed, we discussed via phone, each of the paragraphs’ meaning and implication (4 pages). Brian was thorough and insightful. He ensured I understood the wording and cited various examples for clarification. Brian answered questions to my satisfaction. He returned my calls and texts messages promptly. Even after our consultation, he followed up with additional suggestions, which I found helpful.
Super helpful

Brian was super helpful and quick to help for my quick turnaround on a Severance Agreement. He was really informative for sections I didn’t fully understand and was helpful with my questions around future plans for myself in conjunction with the agreement.

I hired Mr. Foley for an issue I was having with my employer. From our first conversation I could tell I was in the right hands. He has a very high level of knowledge of employment law. He asked thorough questions, listened intently, took copious notes, requested information and documentation, and left no stone upturned. He was compassionate, honest and realistic every step of the way. I never felt surprised or unclear during, what was for me, a very difficult time. Mr. Foley negotiated with my former employees’ legal representative in an extremely professional manner which ended in a very positive outcome for me. He was also very fair with his rates/fees. I am very grateful for Mr. Foley and his expertise and would recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance regarding their employment.

I had a contract renewal/tenure dispute with the university I was employed with. AAUP referred me to Brian J. Foley, and after reading his reviews; I retained him to represent me in this dispute. Mr. Foley’s legal expertise, as well as his knowledge of academia and the workings of university organizations, made him a powerful and aggressive advocate on my behalf. Mr. Foley promptly responded to emails, addressing all of my questions and concerns about the process. Additionally, he is able to explain the complexities of the law and the dispute process in a clear and comprehensible way, as well as treating me like a colleague. This allowed me to feel comfortable about the process and confident in Mr. Foley’s advocacy. More importantly, because of his advocacy, the matter ended with an excellent result for me. I would highly recommend Mr. Foley to any friend or colleague who was in need of legal services.

I hired Brian Foley to assist me with an employment situation which had gotten to be intolerable. It was a matter of age/gender discrimination that had gotten worse and I could no longer bear it. Brian Foley filed an EEOC Complaint and then managed to negotiate a settlement for me with my employer that I was very happy with in a short period of time. I found him to be very supportive and felt like he truly cared about me and my situation. He was always in contact with me through this whole process and was easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who might be in a similar situation. He also was more than fair with billing for his services. He is very knowledgeable in employment related issues. I could not have found a better lawyer than Brian.
