Thank youv💯
@View_My_ChannelFor_Contact no. Only God. You're repping demons.
Does this also apply to juvenile cases?
1. Request all the discovery in your case.
2. Communicate with your attorney via email.
3. Request your plea offer in writing.
4. Inquire whether the state attorney's office has contacted the alleged victim.
5. Always ask to take depositions, especially in felony cases.
6. Request a copy of the deposition transcript if there is a victim or witness.
7. Ask for a copy of any motion to suppress evidence and accompanying case law.
8. Take an active role in your case by reading through everything and being involved.
9. If innocent, request that your attorney fight the case.
10. Be scared but be educated and involved in your case.
I had a criminal lawyer who was a paid lawyer and he was unprofessional and did not act as if on my side at all.
Currently dealing with that for a year and a half now.
Going through this right now.
I am literally in that position right now. I just drafted a letter for him to recuse himself from my case.
@@26michaelukI am too. Everything I bring to him we can’t do, he told me I can’t get people from my job to do statements. Like whattttt??
It's a Freemason thing. They have all been conquered. The entire judicial system
My sons father took a case to trial and his PD worked against him the entire time. Refused to depose witnesses, never requested evidence and took him to trial without even knowing the entirety of charges against him. He was of course convicted and held to the max. A lot of PDs just do whats easier and work with the state
The legal system isnt there for the protection of the people and their rights. they are there only to make money for the place they are located.
I was sitting with my lawyer at the courthouse when my ex girlfriend showed up for her deposition and was surprised I was there. When she asked what I was doing my lawyer told her I would be in the conference OOOOOO! The look on her face!!
I wish all Attorney's/Public Defender actually act like you
Never will be the case, they work for the state
Never had a public defender that didn't sell out.
I contest that. They worked for me. Sell out? Work for the state? Have u ever experienced that job? Me either but I think most are trying.. but they have a big work load and are typically representing the best people in society
@@shaunwarfield mine sold me out big time. I pled guilty to something I didn't even do. Makes me sick. Think you got lucky. I'm happy for you.
Outside of his hip Intro , I agree 😂
I called This attorney personally he gave me so much inside on what I'm going in my case, So many problems arise in the field of attorney 99 of them but he's not one of them please keep up the good work The Law Offices of Roger P. Foley, P.A. he's a real one
All fantastic advice. A number of years ago I found myself in a bit of a predicament and a family member referred an attorney who I could "trust", not have to second guess or babysit. I naively paid him in full upfront and trusted him. I remember sitting in the courtroom on my 3rd appearance, and he hands me a stack of papers, whispering to me "This is the discovery read through it and let me know if anything is incorrect". About 15 minutes later I was accepting a plea. The outcome of my case was fair so I didn't feel totally screwed, but I'm certain things were overlooked and as a result, bargaining power was left on the table.
Classic private criminal defense experience
I too had a fam member recommend an attorney.
He tried screwing me over multiple times.
I had to learn everything I could about criminal procedure for my state & everything I could about my charges.
After refusing to take a deal & after I found & 3 major lies from bodycam that he made on report I got charges dropped.
It's crazy how everyone in the system worked to convict;
The prosecutor & cop (of couse) but also the judge, clerk , and even my attorney
@@jupitercyclops6521 the least amount of work he does, the more profit he nets. The way they look at it is you don’t know anything, you don’t know what your actual exposure is, and they can probably get you a deal, depending on charges, that avoids jail time. A standard deal. Quick 5-7k. If they actual review all that discovery and spot suppression issues….that’s a lot of work and time = less money. I know they sometimes get a bad rap but PDs are often much better. They are in court all the time anyways and their practice practically revolves around suppression and they know all the case law and have seen every imaginable fact pattern. Plus, if they lose whatever you have going on pretrial, they can just go get the standard deal the private atty was gonna get you.
Now you know, "justice" is just a lie and a racket, which renders the codified law and national rights a lie and a bait and switch racket, all because law enforcement, litigation, and "justice" is in the hands of 'sht'hed monsters.
What if the lawyer says, the client is failing to assist and he had already plead to a case. I would think that would invalidate the plea then. Probation violation.
This is stuff we should learn in school.
1st establish status,observe and protect all of the alleged defendants rights. 2nd compell the court to identify, subject matter jurisdiction.
This is amazing. I have watched dozens of videos looking for information. This is perfect
Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information!
The average American is illiterate regarding the law and how the legal system works. Your advice is spot on, and I'm sure 1 in 10 will GET IT. And fewer still will need it and do it. Preparedness is not how people--too many people--operate, and will be in a situation of culture shock with so many new things happening; they will freeze up and not remember a thing. Peace
he is not illiterate, he is unlearned of codes , procedures of the private bar Guild BRITISH ACREDITED REGISTRY/ BAR oath to the BAR and oath to the members..... not to wo[man]
I wouldn’t say Illiterate, there take on it, is basically they hired and paid them to do there job..
Roger, you are a genius!! you know law!!! This guy knows whats up. Great attorney.
It all must be in writing. Lawyers forget verbal exchanges with clients often and too late for help.
This was really helpful!! Thanks for the info
Nice job Roger,... I wish I had known these things when one of my family members was arrested. Very well laid out and easy to understand
Always hire a $10,000 attorney plus
Thank you for taking the time to inform everybody in a criminal case I appreciate your assistance it is valuable for someone that's being charged and it doesn't know anything.
Best video I've seen on these topics. Thank you.
I really appreciate the insight and learned alot in this video now I know how email my public defender, keep records of better representation in my case. Thanks!
Thank for this great bit of information, I appreciate you for your time.

Thank you, sir. What a discovery.
Mr.Roger Foley, thanks you for being a Angel. I wished I could have had you for my daughter.Or better educated myself more or even ask questions. It’s sad when you don’t understand what’s going on, and you believe everything being said.. I’m so heartbroken when you have no win or fight from someone you trust to fight for you,But I’m not going to sit here and disrespect anyone,it’s has been a lesson Learnt. A mother with a broken heart.
Thank you for your kind words. May God bless your and your daughter. Seek Him for guidance. As I said on the telephone, I am praying for you both.
Thank you! All Great points!
Thank you so much for very useful information !!! 💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you so much for this video, I can see you truely love what you do and you care about the People you represent , the law and the Innocent. If I could offered an attorney you would be the one I would hire.
Appreciate that.
And in un lawyer like fashion... all this solid information.... FREE!!
Liked and subscribed. Thanks I definitely took notes. I'm fighting a criminal case in a PA county currently and I intend to utilize your tactics to protect and educate myself further
Be blessed please hire a lawyer if you can in PA the judge mind is already set before a conviction please heed
Paris Jackson...may I ask what PA county. I'm currently in your position also a PA county.
@@f.a8586 A very well stated truth. Been in hell with local rural courts for DECADES... and still residing. It all goes towards shattering family units and $$$$$$$$$$$$.

@@jmart9414 they’re trying to make me do a scram bracelet because i had drank and i took my pills with me to go to the beach to kill myself. I have bipolar depression, anxiety, panic attacks and PTSD. I’m thinking about taking it to trial. There’s no victims in my case, just me. I’m having ideations now and I’m regretting now staying home and downing my pills. I’m waiting for my refill so i can take them… ALL of them because I’ve been so depressed and back to square one. I know i can’t live like this much longer and the sad thing is is i was doing better since the last 48 hours.
As a future criminal defense attorney, I love your passion and convictions!
He has passion because he's NOT currently a Public Pretender-defender.
I did my internship in law school for a couple of months. My first trial was a robbery. Feb 13, 2003. It was a bench trial. NOT GUILTY! Had passion then too.
Great information thank you
Thank you for this I appreciate u ❤
Great advice!
I love you so much thank you for all this information 💓
Great Information... 👍👍👍👍👍
That was excellent
Awesome advice thanks for posting!
You bet!
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 I wish I knew this. I was lost mentally. I was accused of assault and battery and I was broken because my daughters mom lied. My lawer said just plead NO contest and the judge will let you go. He was flirting and when I seen he knew her I should've got rid of him. Long story short she sent me to anger mgmt and still the charges stuck because a new parol officer stepped in and said I was late to an appointment. I didn't know I could take it back within 30 days. Next thing you know I was charge a 2nd time with the same crime. I left the young lady for my safety. Long story short I didn't know she had ptsd, bipolar and entitlement issues. Later I got custody of our kid and refused to even let her come around. I never had been lied on so much with NO proof. I even had my gun rights taken and didn't know until I was picked up at a gun show.
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 This deserves a Million views x10. From now on if I ever get charged it's NOT Guilty from the start until I see and examine all the information with 2 or more professionals
Great vid 👍
I’m glad I found this video
◾Thanks, very informative!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video Excellent Coverage of All Points
thank you for the info! i pray i win my case God bless
Thank you!
I accused my conflict attorney of misconduct and she filed for a mental health evaluation and the judge refused to allow a cause hearing to discuss her allegations or substantiate them.
I was found competent, months later I reminded the judge of the failure to maintain due process in a couple issues and while I was waiting in court because I thought I was there for a motion to dismiss the judge revoked my pro se right and assigned the same conflict attorney and also ordered a mental health evaluation, after the first one was stipulated without me being present .
I feel like this is retaliation.
Well respectfully if my client accused me of misconduct I would speak to them and figure out why they would think that. If after that conversation they still believed it, I may want a mental health evaluation. Additionally, if someone represents themselves they are either a fool or suffering from mental issue so that would be a reason to get an evaluation. Then if the person reminded the judge about due process…. Well heck you may be placed in a stray jacket. Sorry. That’s my humor. And 7 people gave a thumbs up. Better hope that’s your jury.
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 that's cute and all but according to rule of procedure a person can not be subjected to mental health eval based on conclusory claims furthermore if that person requests a hearing to object or challenge the validity of the claims used to introduce the eval then it must be had or that is a due process violation, please tell me how I'm wrong using case law, haha.
in addition, so a judge not holding to procedure should not be held accountable? we should just shut up and deal with it? People this man is a lawyer making all these videos and look how he responded to me, sounds like he supports tyranny against the common man. PAY ATTENTION! His true colors just came out.
I caught my attorney lying and called them out in court and thats why my attorney filed the eval order, thank you for discrediting me and my situation. I hope everyone sees this and takes note.
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 Pay Attention to what this man just said people, "if my client accused me of misconduct he would speak to them, and it they still believed it he would want a mental health evaluation. So if you outright lied to your client via email which can easily be proven that the things you said to your client were an absolute falsity, and you as a lawyer can't manipulate the client who has researched the policy and procedure as well as standards of conduct for an attorney, then you would want a mental health eval as well. So basically you lawyers are Gods who don't make mistakes or act dubiously and nefariously ????
The just caught Siegermeister and O'steen trading bulls and tractors for outcomes in cases, imagine the person who first called that out and exposed it, surprised they didnt end up with mental eval orders when the allegations were first made lmao.
Look it up people the caught a State Attorney trading bulls and tractors with a guy like Foley a fellow defense lawyer for the outcomes of cases. #cantmaketheshitup
So basically anyone who accuses you of misconduct has to be batshit crazy lol. Riigggght got it.
Hi i love this because this is what i needed to hear i understand why my lawyer went quite i kn9w now how ti communictae with him i thought i had to wait for him to aak when he needs info .
I have lesrnt So much from you today i could not stop watching over n over so i understand what to di ftom today on. But i am waiting fir a oerlimazary hearing to get my dads lands back . In new zealand an at thr moment
I love your passion wish u were in Jax we've been waiting 9mos for discovery and 9mos for a jail recorded call that would clear of this case.
Ppl if you want good reason here you go this guy is legit on what he states in court proceedings
Great tips.
Glad it was helpful!
When you retire from the bar perhaps you should consider being a motivational speaker! This is spot on not only for criminal proceedings but for life in general. I always get as much as I can in written communication for covering my @$$.
You can't use depositions in CA for the most part on criminal cases though...
Thank you sir
Good Video Sir. Lead the way.
Excellent video.
Great job really good information
Glad it was helpful!
Wow this how it's done thank you
Ty for ur info
Thanx very helpful info's..
Glad it was helpful!
Get written plea, it's expiration date, always ask for depositions, copy of transcripts if needed, email defender/pretenders, copy of motions and accompanying case log, tell them if you had enough time with lawyer no then no. Take active role in case, be involved. If innocent always request them fight the case and to work it up. I plead guilty in my past and its ruint my life. Not this time especially since I'm innocent. The logging the defenders requests and getting more time to prepare will be vital this time for me. Be educated! Thank you for this. To old and wisend up to just take this crap this time. Praying eventually I can afford a real attorney this time but will do the best with what I can however I can. Help me help you. Good advice. Wish you were in Southern Illinois lol
I happen to run into your channel and it's very informative and they should be a lot more Attorney's like you!!
Period...!!
Thank you
Man you awesome I think you just saved my life
Thanks.
Thank you. What do I do if I the other side has not complied and the court is not listening?
thank you so much
thank you i learn a lot
Look up the name Carl-miller constitution man ; n :David-Wynn :Miller ; now that’s real learning.
What is a 1666 trust.
What is the rules to write legal documents?
What is Syntax parse Grammar?
It has been my personal experience that not once has a Court appointed attorney ever listened to me no matter what I had to say. And when I asked, politely, what have you done so far for me/ The answer was, I have done nothing for you and will do nothing for you. That's my experience in upstate NY.
You should have put in a complaint with the bar association. Good grief. How can they get away with that?
Once I was accused of buying cigarettes for a minor. It supposedly happened during my 15 minute break at work, between 2:00-2:15pm, & they were supposedly bought at a store next to my job. It was also an off-brand of cigarettes I had never heard of. I even went to the store later on my own & asked if they carried that particular brand & that particular type (full flavor 100s) & while they did, they were being discontinued or something & they were only selling the remaining stock...& they did not have any of the "full flavor 100s" left. I mentioned that to my public defender & said that sales records would also most likely prove that no one - let alone myself - bought a pack of those on that day during that time frame. But he wouldn't even try to!!!! He flat out refused to!!! & I know they CAN do that, because I've seen prosecutors & cops use sales records to convict someone before. So I don't know why my lawyer wouldn't do it.
How would a prosecutor prove you bought cigarettes for a minor? There would need to be proof you bought cigarettes 🚬 🚬 🚬. Then there would need to be proof that you gave them to the minor. There needs to be witnesses or video.
This is great info, I wish it was listed in a bullet format in the video description. However I'm making notes as I go along. Thank you so much for these types of videos. So many of us who obviously have no experience with "the system" and find ourselves in these situations are sometimes at the mercy of our attorney (no offense) and we just have to "trust them" but have no idea if they're doing what they could or should be doing along the way.

You are so right!
So I need to ask my court appointed attorney to file a motion
I asked my court appointed attorney to fight for me becuz I'm innocent he said that only happens at the jury trial is this true
All my personal property disappeared my purse and all I had in it way can I do about this situation also I was not allowed to know what was put in my property then I sign it then when I was released from jail I was given the property form but the just did it so quick I had no idea it was my property release form that I signed I noticed my purse and all of what it contains was not on there. I had a purse
Well said M8
Great video
Truly wish you could help me with what I’m going through right now! I desperately need a honest defense
god bless you
Me too mine ignored anything good for me and bad for cops .
Love your videos
thanks, roger for helping us to stand up for ourselves. the legal system is a weird place if your not involved with the law. as normal citizens(laypeople) we really don’t understand our rights and the system. you have been so helpful. thank you so much for this video.
Hello sir what to do when you have received two illegal tickets you reported it nothing happened and you need them out the court due to another court issue... in both cases the officers said incriminating things about the stop..but the now attorney don’t want to pull the video for proof of the wrong of the officer. And the illegal way the tickets was given... one officer didn’t write it up to appear before a judge he just wrote up a made to pay ticket... how do I fix this in my new case..?? I go to court in two in half weeks from today!
Thanks
if your not guilty never give a plea!
I write a letter and as the 3rd party lasisan for a person, kind of like the old style court runner for information. Its been a minute but ig thanks
Thank you sir, sounding sensible, helpful and clear. What if the oppressors have worn one down, stressed one sick and sleepless, ad the state attorney didn't defend one, and one was too sleep deprived and stress exhausted to do good work of reading, learning , understanding, checking, co-working and self-defending as well as one could have with sleep and a truthful and helpful attorney?
And what when the courts ignored the points I did make?
F ex that the notary was sick and the repkacement didn't write down the actual dialogue. but igbnored my protest. As I called he court of appeal that I didn't have an attorney (I finally cancelled the immoral one, fearful of his possible measures against me), the person ignored it by telling me I had to fix one myself. But didn't know how to, was too tired and don't have such means.
They have made my health amd life much worse than it ever was. Can I have the false guardianship cancelled several years after the fake trial? And can I request a fair damages, for all the years of my life that many pofessionals have made hell unnecessarily, and even torturous? Thank you, I hope for answers, if possible.
This attorney is good!!!
This attorney assumes all clients get out on bond.
Great video and information. My question is if your attorney is incompetent what would happen to your case, wouldn’t the judge use that as a reason to favor the prosecutor?
Yes a slob won't get things done then at the last minute wants the client to take a plea 🤔. TY for sharing.
The information giving was so helping,it makes me won't too represent myself,In which IM
not,Yet IM THANKFUL I TOOK THE TIME OUT TOO LISTEN AN UNDERSTAND ALL ELEMENTS....
He right👍🏽
When do you ask for depisition and transcript ?
One more question. Why are the plea deal facts different than the initial report?
Good thing I found your channel
The question is: Wouldn’t the public/private attorney be mad of all the request?
That's exactly my question. How does doing these 10 things actually work in practice? It seems like my attorney would get frustrated with me and resent me at some point soon if I keep pushing on him/her in this regard?
@@sunchips5
I got a DUI attorney and as I started asking questions…my Attorney needs my money first hand before he can talk to me.
Then he got my money…ain’t care about my questions.
My attorney told me the paperwork from the officer told him everything…
I told my Attorney, I am the guy who got arrested, I have my side of the story…Duhhh
I am screwed.
@@lykaojalao2733 Sounds like a BAD ATTORNEY!
@@sunchips5
I told my entourage that next time anyone got a DUI, plaid guilty to spare the financial burden and the time wasting.
Unless there is no proof like blow the tube. Once the tube came out over the limit, the attorney job is pretty much “interprete the law for you”.
This is good information however if you're already incarcerated you will not have access to email or many other tools to help your situation.
Can you request any of these 10 things after your case is over did the time out on ab109 in ca?
I have a public defender definitely trying to hang me out to dry this helps man thank you. I'm dealing with Northumberland county ever hear of the corrupt toilet?
I didn't realize you were Florida. Does this apply to all states?
depositions are not in all states. must check your state
Can you clarify on the state attorney having contact with the victim is this my public defenders office or the DA office? I don't understand
Wish you were in Texas.. we are looking for a good defense attorney as we are on attorney #3 and waiting for another trial date and not real confident with the one we have as we had a trial date but I got covid and was out of quarantine 2 days before trial but they put it off and the the next hearing date isn’t until 2022 to hopefully get a trial date but we are glad we didnt go to trial as our attorney didnt have some records we needed and had talked to us about the trial. So frustrating.. can you recommend any attorney in the dallas-ft worth area in texas?
You’re great lawyer. I wish we have you here in Hawaii!
I wish that I could live and practice in Hawaii for a year or two. I just need a really rich guy to be charged with a crime and pay me to come there and fight. I can practice pro hac viche which allows me to practice law in your area. So if you know some millionaire billionaire type people with a propensity for getting in trouble share this video and my number. Thank you
@@thelawofficesofrogerp.fole7886 Attorney Roger, can I have your number please ?
Request all discovery. Thank you.
Public defense is paid for by the same entity as the prosecution is..therefore they are beholden to such..you can request the funds to hire a private attorney. You may need to fight some, but they eventually have to give in to the request
I like this guy hes good
I *like* this guy ......... So if I ever needed a lawyer in the USA he'd be a good pick.
WHY? Well, I've done Jury service. One Lawyer was a snooty 🐄
The other presented as friendly, likable, funny & honest.
NO prizes for guessing which had the hearts of the Jury.
Being scared or in fear is one of the lowest vibration, that's why people wearing two masks suffocate themselves because they live in fear. You need to be confident and productive and consistent and Persistent
I agree with what your saying, yet I believe what he is saying, is That their are Moments in courts that You ( plural) the Defendant, may feel, vulnerable, and scared, and it's ok to feel that; However Knowing within yoursel that you are Educated on your on case, gives you confidence to speak out and correct your Appointed Attorney and or Judge.
For instance I was about to get six months, but b4 the Judge Hit the hammer for ruling, I yelled out "wait!"... I turned to my Stupid Attorney, And Whispered, What about community Service, what we discussed Earlier?
His stupid ass said "OH YEAH, I FORGOT"..... Then he requested that to Thee Honor.
She then Hits her hammer and says "Three weeks of Community Service"
Eye mean Three Months of Community Service. ( my bag that tore)

i also think that if you are innocent you should keep you life intact, also your mind. Stay productive , otherwise a case makes you bankrupt or psycho. Don’t punish yourself and make them work and confuse themselves. I don’t know if this is always the best, but looks logical.
Very good points. Most of the attorneys are dead silent after getting money. There should be a law to response client's email within 24 hours.
Not when there's nothing new to report.

I was assigned an IDB attorney here in Webster Parish Louisiana, I could not get ahold of him and I was trying to be very acyive The IDB office, would just give a phone. And when I called the number. The IDB attorney's uncle Harold would answer and when I would request my attorney Mr Harold would say, go to court house every Monday morning and look for him, (I never met him).
