Attorney John Foley is a partner at Simmons Hanly Conroy in the Pharmaceutical Litigation Department. He focuses his practice on protecting the rights of victims harmed by dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, such as Actos, Yaz and Talc. He also works on cases for clients who have been harmed by defective medical products, such as transvaginal mesh (TVM).
John dedicates his legal career to helping people harmed by pharmaceutical companies’ decisions to not properly warn consumers about serious and sometimes fatal side effects of their products.
At the firm, his role is to work with clients to secure the necessary information for each case. He is available to answer client questions and keeps the team of attorneys up-to-date on changing information. He also manages discovery for the cases.
“My legal staff and I fight tirelessly for our clients,” John said. “Because of our experience, we have been fortunate to secure great results on behalf of those injured by dangerous drugs or defective medical devices.”
Working Endlessly For Justice
John fights for his clients, which he describes as people like him, people he grew up with, who are suffering at the hands of big pharmaceutical companies. This is not fair to his clients, who are trying to survive and obtain treatments for medical conditions. In his career, he has helped thousands of people affected by the negative side effects of drugs. He also recognizes that his team educates people about the dangers of some of these products, often endorsed by celebrities.
“It is irresponsible for companies to market products they know are dangerous just because it makes them billions of dollars,” John said. “I believe that if it wasn’t for trial attorneys, there wouldn’t be anyone playing the role of watchdog over these big pharmaceutical companies. I hope my work will someday help end this vicious corporate cycle of profits over people.”
