West Palm Beach Attorney Roger P. Foley

Mr. Foley is recognized for representing clients in some of the most serious, high-profile, and legally complex criminal matters.

Known for his meticulous preparation, strategic thinking, and unwavering advocacy, Mr. Foley has consistently secured favorable outcomes for clients facing life-altering charges.

Vehicular homicide and DUI manslaughter are among the most serious charges a person can face in Florida. Governed under Florida Statutes 782.071 (Vehicular Homicide) and F.S. 316.193 (DUI-related offenses), these cases carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences, fines, and potential permanent criminal records.

Mr. Foley has successfully defended clients in vehicular homicide and DUI manslaughter cases, including situations where fatalities occurred. These cases often involve accident reconstruction experts, forensic toxicology reports, scene analysis, and complex law enforcement investigations. In one notable case, a client involved in a fatal collision faced multiple counts of DUI manslaughter. Through careful analysis of accident reconstruction evidence and rigorous challenge of procedural and evidentiary issues, Mr. Foley was able to achieve a favorable outcome that prevented his client from going to prison.

Representing clients in these emotionally charged and highly technical cases requires both legal expertise and a compassionate understanding of the personal impact these charges carry.

Drug trafficking cases are a core focus of Mr. Foley's practice. He has represented clients accused of both armed and unarmed trafficking under Florida Statutes 893.13, covering a broad spectrum of offenses from possession with intent to distribute to large-scale, multi-defendant trafficking operations.

These cases frequently involve undercover operations, wiretaps, surveillance, financial transactions, and multi-agency investigations. Mr. Foley carefully scrutinizes evidence, challenges procedural missteps, and crafts defenses that protect his clients' rights.

Mr. Foley has successfully represented clients accused of sexual offenses, including rape and sexual battery under F.S. 794.011 (Sexual Battery) . These cases demand careful handling due to their complexity, sensitivity, and potential life-changing consequences for both the accused and the victims involved.

Sexual assault and rape cases often involve forensic evidence, witness credibility, historical records, and procedural challenges. Mr. Foley examines each piece of evidence, identifies weaknesses in the prosecution's case, and ensures that his clients' rights are fully protected.

Life felonies represent the highest level of criminal exposure under Florida law, carrying potential sentences of life imprisonment. Examples include burglary with battery under F.S. 812.13(2)(a) and other severe felonies. Mr. Foley has handled numerous cases involving life felonies, successfully defending clients against charges that could dramatically alter their lives.

These cases often involve complex factual and legal issues, including evidence of intent, use of force, and procedural challenges. Mr. Foley provides detailed case analysis, strategic courtroom advocacy, and guidance through the entire legal process.

Mr. Foley's expertise extends to economic crimes and white-collar offenses, including fraud, embezzlement, identity theft, and other financial misconduct, governed by statutes such as F.S. 817.034 (Fraud) and F.S. 817.505 (Identity Theft).

These cases often require a detailed understanding of complex financial systems, corporate investigations, and multi-jurisdictional law. Mr. Foley analyzes intricate evidence, identifies procedural issues, and presents strong defenses in both state and federal courts.

Domestic violence, battery, and related high-risk felonies under F.S. 784.03 are another significant component of Mr. Foley's practice. These cases frequently involve sensitive family dynamics, evidence disputes, and high-pressure law enforcement investigations.

Whether representing clients in misdemeanor domestic battery cases or more serious felony-level battery matters, Mr. Foley challenges the evidence where appropriate, protects clients' rights, and presents a strong, credible defense.

Beyond the primary areas of focus, Mr. Foley handles a wide range of complex criminal cases, including multi-jurisdiction investigations, conspiracy cases, and situations that demand creative legal strategies. He has represented clients in nationally publicized matters, demonstrating his ability to manage both high-pressure legal challenges and public scrutiny effectively.

In addition to vehicular homicide and DUI manslaughter, Mr. Foley defends clients in standard DUI cases, including those involving accidents, injuries, or aggravating factors. Under F.S. 316.193, DUIs carry serious penalties including fines, license suspension, and potential jail time. Mr. Foley examines every aspect of the case, from blood-alcohol testing procedures to law enforcement protocols, ensuring a fair and accurate defense.
