Don’t Make The Same Mistake I Did.
Not knowing anything about the law I trusted Attorney Abbott to make the right decisions for me or at least counsel me on which decisions were better but instead I got an inexperienced lawyer that showed up more than an hour and 30 minutes late to a court date she knew about weeks in advance. During ...

Patricia Abbott is a great choice!
I just went through a very difficult experience and was so fortunate to have chosen Patricia Abbot as my attorney. She is very diligent, knowledgeable, honest, and knows her way around the Cobb County Court system, which was extremely helpful. I wouldn’t have been able to navigate this process with...

wonderful attorney choice.
I will have to say when it came to hiring an attorney, Ms. Abbott was a very great choice, she was very detailed in making sure as a client you understood what was happening with the case. There was some bumps in the road with my case but she made sure those bumps was paved and there was smooth ride ...

Best choice
I had interviewed 8 other Lawyers before I met Ms. Abbott. I liked her the best and after speaking with her in person, felt like she was the right fit. She fought hard for me and kept me in the loop the entire time. I will highly recommend her to anyone. Like I had mentioned before, I had i...

Non-Aggressive and Lack of Communication.
Hired her and did not start to get feedback from her until a couple of days before court date. She never stood up to the DA to get time decreased. She showed no aggression when pleading the case to both the judge and DA. I felt like her, the DA, and the judge were working together. A total waste of m...
This comment is surprising because I always focus on my client's best interests and pride myself on my responsiveness. This person did not identify themselves and neither I nor my office staff can tell who wrote this. In fact, I don't even know if I actually represented this person or not! Unfortunately in a criminal defense practice, clients often want unrealistic, or even impossible, outcomes. However, I always give 100% to get the best outcome for every client.
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Patricia Abbott for many years. She is a very well known and respected lawyer in our community. She works diligently for her clients and strives to obtain the best possible outcome."
"Pat is a sharp and very smart lawyer. I have admired the care that she takes with her clients, always placing their interests first. Pat has a great knowledge of the law and is a competitor. She is a lawyer that that I would love to have on my team and I'd be worried if I was fighting against her. I endorse this lawyer."
"I highly endorse Ms. Abbott as a litigator in the metro-Atlanta area. I am a colleague and have known her for approximately 10 years. On occasions when I have had the opportunity to observe her courtroom demeanor, I always came away very impressed. She is fearless as a litigator and has the soul and roar of a lion. It is exciting to watch this woman of small stature go toe to toe with adversaries on behalf of her clients."
