When faced with a traffic violation, Nick Abdo is the lawyer to call!

On several occasions my family was faced with serious traffic violations and we truly needed a lawyer who cared about his clients. Nick fits that profile. He is the person to call on. He can be counted on to deliver positive results for you. In my opinion, for Nick it is not about money, it is all ab...out helping people.

Great Guy to Turn to in Bad Situations

Turns out I'm not as good a driver as I though I was - have needed to engage Nicholas for his help with tickets for 2 speeding violations, 1 seatbelt violation, and an expired inspection over the course of 8 years. Have also turned to him for help with 1 speeding and 1 running a red light offense fo...r other family members. Each time Nicholas has been diligent, prompt and professional. I was very pleased with the results he achieved, significant reductions and several outright dismissals. His fee was also quite reasonable compared with other attorneys I had engaged previously. I don't think you can find a legal professional who will deliver greater value. I highly recommend Nicholas and will definitely reach out to him again in the future if I need legal representation.

Speeding ticket

Nick helped me out last year with a speeding ticket. It was an easy process and he kept me informed all the way. Nick made the whole process very easy for me. I sent him the ticket and all the information and He took it from there. My ticket was reduced to a parking ticket. I would highly recommend N...ick .

Not all representation is created equally

Sometimes everyday good people fracture an occasional law or two. And for those of us not familiar with the frivolous procedures of our legal system, a day in court can prove to be extremely difficult, confusing and overwhelming. I highly recommend you seek representation in even the most minor affa...irs. Take it from me… A few hundred dollars for representation can save you thousands of dollars in fines, insurance spikes, and a tarnished record. HOWEVER, not all representation is created equally. Similar to finding a good honest mechanic or handyman, finding the right representation can prove to be a difficult task. All too often I hear people complaining that the attorney they hired did not take their matter seriously, and settled on outcomes that could have been obtained on their own. Over the past 12 years Nick Abdo has represented me on 4 separate matters, including 3 traffic violations and 1 disorderly conduct ticket. On all matters Nick handled the situation with the utmost professionalism. Nick listened to me and seamed to understand that even good people can make mistakes. He thoroughly explained the procedures “in layman’s terms” and helped me understand the rights I had and the options I would most likely be faced with at the end of the day. Nick’s knowledge and decades of experience became evident when the matters unfold exactly as he explained. What I believe that sets Nick apart is the care and effort he put forth on all my matters big or small. I watched him methodically negotiate and fight for the best possible outcome; he did not just fold on the first offer. I truly felt my hard earned money was put to good use every time I hired Nick. I can confidently say that Nick has saved me thousands of dollars in fines and insurance premium spikes due to points on my record. I hope I never have to call Nick again, but if that unfortunate time comes. There is no person I would trust to handle my matter other than Nick.

Speeding and Cell Phone Violations

Nick has represented me on three separate traffic tickets. Cell phone ticket I received several years ago, a speeding ticket and more recently another speeding ticket, Nick was able to get these reduced to no point violations which really helped me keep my auto insurance premium from increasing. Nic...k was very efficient and handled the matters in a extremely professional manner. I have referred Nick to several other individual with traffic ticket issues whom also have been very satisfied with his expertize, follow-thru and results for his clients.
