Maryann E Foley Law Office

Ms Foley knows family law and she knows the courts. She doesn't do drama and stays focused on the facts. Her no nonsense approach can be off putting. It's been 10 years but I felt she was an excellent advocate and guide through my highly contested divorce. Her insights were forward looking and today I do NOT have issues with my ex because she was savvy enough to ensure the long view. I highly recommend Ms Foley. But if it's drama you want, you better find someone else.

This is a no-frills, small office that offers big service. I found Ms. Foley to be both very professional and helpful in my initial consultation. She explained the law and my options clearly. Her office staff has been attentive and available for questions. I hired Ms. Foley, not to hold my hand, but to know the law and apply it fairly. I am very pleased with the proceedings so far and look forward to a satisfactory divorce for both parties.

I have never been treated so badly. I was vulnerable and I felt like she preyed on me. She was very lazy with my case and charged me $25k to do Nothing! She was VERY rude and dismissive to me even knowing I was abused in my relationship. I was so embarrassed in court from her lack off preparedness in the case and preparing me. It was so bad that the judge saw it! The judge asked me THREE times if I thought I had proper representation from my lawyer. By this point I just wanted it over and told so. He gave Foley a dirty look and said ok to me with the look of sadness. I lost millions in this case but I just wanted to be done with HER! Even the opposing lawyer commented that she should be disbarred for taking advantage of me! Now that’s pretty bad!

This woman was so unbelievably rude and unprofessional. The office smells like dog pee. There are tiny little dogs that look like something from Pet Cemetery scampering around the office. I found cuter looking things at the bottom of a deep fryer. I haven’t even gotten to the "consult" yet. I paid this woman for a divorce consult and instead of informing me of laws or guiding me through what the process would look like, she mocked me until I was in tears. I asked her if she thought it was funny when a husband abuses his wife and she said "sometimes" with like a grinchy smile.... if the grinch were an obese middle-aged woman with dumpy clothing and a bad haircut. I paid $300 for this consult and it set me way behind in getting my affairs in order because I was so traumatized by her. She should really lose her bar. In my opinion, allowing this "woman" to keep her license speaks very poorly of the standards of the Alaska Bar Association. Just no, no, no!!! You can find a better attorney than this in Anchorage. I think you could find a better attorney than this in a janitor closet in Timbuktu.

Worst experience with a legal "professional" I have ever had or heard of. Did not advise on process or options or long term aspects of divorce proceedings began representing myself after that experience. Ultimately I hired another attorney, only then did I fully appreciate the level of disservice her representation was to me and my case.

Hey assistant was rude when I briefly stated that I was looking to change the jurisdiction of my case to another state. When I finally contacted foley herself. She was even worse. She was short in explaining why I was unable to change state jurisdiction and talked to me as if I was stupid and should know. It is not my job to know the law and knitty gritty of why I can't do things. That's why people hire and call lawyers...worst lawyer ever. Typical stuck up know it all.

She was the worst lawyer, rude, never listened, was lazy at her job, and left in the middle of the case after we paid her 25 thousand because we were behind on a payment. Needless to say I lost the case but if you want to win, have someone fight for you with passion, and listen to your concerns and testimony, DO NOT USE HER. She honestly is a thief who needs to retire immediately. AVOID HER AT ALL COSTS!!
