About Steve Foley Law Firm

Steve Foley Law Firm is a personal injury firm with offices in Buffalo and Albany.

The firm states that the first consultation is free. It does not state a fee model on its public pages, so none is recorded here.

What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it

No public discipline

None of the 3 named attorneys carries a disciplinary status on the public register: no disbarment, suspension or disciplinary resignation. Those statuses persist, so the check reaches back years, but it would not show a censure or a suspension since lifted.

19 results published

Across 7 case types on the firm's own site. We read the page and counted what is on it; the amounts are the firm's and we have not confirmed them.

G3 Entity & officeNot checkedNo matching entity found in the active corporations register. New York does not require a general partnership to file with the Department of State, so this is not evidence against the firm, only a check we could not complete from this source
G5 WebsiteSite has served over HTTPS, a working phone number published, 3 named attorneys published.
G6 Footprint48 public client reviews across 2 Google listings, above the 10 minimum, and the firm's domain has been registered since 2017-11-04, so it has been operating for more than a year
