About Jessica A. Foley

I love being a criminal defense attorney - something I would not have imagined five years ago! In my previous life I was an Assistant District Attorney and prosecuted hundreds of cases in Plymouth County. Not only was I able to develop excellent trial skills, but I came to understand the criminal justice system works in Massachusetts. The thing I love about being a criminal defense attorney is that I have the opportunity to help people when they feel as though they have lost control of their lives. Most people who find themselves charged with a crime are good people, they may have used poor judgment, or simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. A lot of times, people are accused of crimes that they did not commit! I am patient and understanding and take the time to explain to my clients what may happen to them in court, and more importantly the court process. Court is new for most people and it can be very scary and intimidating if you are not familiar with what is happening. I make my clients feel as comfortable as possible in what is often a very uncomfortable and often embarrassing situation. I also enjoy helping people who are at risk for a moving violation, an insurance surcharge and/or license loss. I also help my clients navigate the Registy of Motor Vehicles and advocate on their behalf in the hopes that they will get their driving privileges reinstated. I have been a practicing attorney for seven years. I graduated from Smith College and Northeastern University School of Law. I live in Hingham, Massachusetts with my family. I am admitted to practice in Massachusetts and the United States District Court. I am member of the Norfolk County Bar Association, the Quincy Bar Association and the Women’s Bar Association.
