Mr. Foley prepared a prenuptial for me early in 2015, beginning about 2 months before my wedding. I didn't realize at the time how challenging it could potentially be, beginning the process so late in game. Mr. Foley did a fantastic job expediting the process, and guiding me through the decisions that needed to be made, in order to construct a meaningful, fair, and legal prenuptial. With only the initial face-to-face meeting, he was able to handle the rest of the correspondence via the phone and email, per my request, which was very much appreciated! He completed the document and delivered it to my fiance in only 1 month, giving her a month to review and sign it before the wedding. She was busy with wedding planning, and as a result, began reviewing it several weeks later. She retained an attorney, and Mr. Foley worked extremely well with him and despite the difficult task of getting the document signed before the wedding, he was able to do it with several days to spare. I plan to use Mr. Foley's services for any future family law matters, and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone else as well!

William S. Foley and his staff are professional people that handle their cases with a level of respect, knowledge, finesse, grace, and proficiency that are second to none in the Tampa Bay Area. When going through a difficult time, there is no one I would trust or recommend more than this office. William Foley made a difficult time much easier for me, and I am grateful that I was able to find such a dedicated and skilled individual.

I would recommend Bill Foley over any other attorney that is out there in family law. Bill is a very talented, honest individual that really gives your case the time and attention that it needs (and trust me, many don’t). Between him and his office assistant Brandie, I always knew where things were going, for better or worse. And this is really important when dealing with issues of child custody. There's nothing worse than being blind while watching your family disintegrate, or wondering about how much time you might get with your child in the future. Even if the news is bad, being prepared for it helps a lot when it finally comes. Divorce is a rollercoaster of emotions...and it's good to have some kind of anchor to keep you level-headed and on the ground. Bill was that anchor for me. However, there are so many more reasons why he does a great job. Bill has a keen eye for details that can really bolster a case. He takes the necessary time to comb through everything and understand your situation. And in a divorce, this can be extremely important. He is also willing to stand up and take on heat from the judge when he’s fighting for you. And at the end of the day, no matter what has happened, you know that he did everything he could for you. He’s a fighter. And he won’t give up. Finally, I’d like to say that unlike other attorneys that seem to become jaded and indifferent to their line of work, I always felt that he and Brandie really cared about my case. The world needs more people like them in this kind of field. They are a credit to their profession, and they should be very proud of what they do for the unfortunate individuals that wind up at their front door in these painful situations. Divorces are hard matters that should never be taken lightly. The end of a marriage is an event of great sorrow…and a good measure of compassion, patience and understanding must be possessed by any attorney that truly wishes to serve those who come to them in their time of need. Fortunately, Bill is a man that possesses those qualities. Trust me when I say that you can count on him.

I hired this small firm because the principle was my age and all they do is family law. I came to them with after receiving a Petition to Relocate 5 months post Modification. My case was assigned to two associate attorney’s at the firm. Long story short, the associate and principle attorneys missed perhaps the most significant piece of case law in Florida pertaining to relocations. I felt with their sole focus being family law, they should’ve been aware of this from the beginning. Unfortunately, my case was a learning experience for them and I paid the tuition. They waited until 3 days prior to our trial hearing to inform me. I also caught the primary associate attorney lying on a conference call about receiving a document I personally handed to her. Because of this I incurred substantial legal expenses unnecessarily and was address the Petition with an adequate strategy. I considered firing the firm, but realized I needed representation in court. Instead I went to the Principle and told him I would no longer work with the associates and he would have to represent me at the hearing. Ultimately the case was dismissed. No one lost except for my daughter and my wallet. At the hearing we asked for fees. The judge reserved. My case was then assigned to another associate attorney at the firm to handle the follow up. We had a difference of opinion on how the other party would proceed following the hearing. I was ultimately right. This also caused him to drop the ball on pursuing fee reimbursement and I ended up eating $7k in legal expenses. Their billing practices are also questionable. My advice, seek another firm. Spend as much as necessary to hire the best attorney you can afford. There are far better one’s in Tampa Bay.
