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 ...negotiations the prosecutor offered a plea deal and when I asked her what she thought I should do, she just shrugged “I don’t know, it’s up to you”. After having another attorney look over my case I’m now having to go back to the judge to fix a mistake I paid over a thousand dollars to Abbott to take care of. I trusted this lawyer blindly. Don’t make the same mistake, there are so many other/better and cheaper options for legal counsel.

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...out her. Not only is Ms. Abbott a great attorney regarding the legal aspects, she was kind, caring, and thoughtful regarding my situation. She explained everything to me from the day I hired her in a way I was able to understand and always responded promptly to any questions I had along the way. Additionally, I was not an easy client, as I was scared and anxious, but she was always kind and respectful, regardless of my many emails and calls to her during this process. Ms. Abbott was also able to direct me to get some things done pertinent to my case prior to my court date, which I believe greatly reduced the length of time of my case and kept it from being dragged out longer than necessary. My case was dismissed shortly (weeks) after my court date, thanks to Ms. Abbott’s diligence and guidance throughout this process. Again, I don’t know how I would have been able to navigate this process so successfully and efficiently without Ms. Abbott. Additionally, the cost is very reasonable and is worth every penny for the high quality service she provides. I highly recommend Patricia Abbott and can’t thank her enough for all of her help in getting my case resolved!

Patricia Abbott really gives 100%

Patricia Abbott is the best attorney i have ever had the pleasure of being represented by. she knows the law and works hard to give her clients the best representation and advice. Mrs. Abbott doesn't give false hopes. I was facing a prison sentence for multiple charges some of which i was guilty an...d another in which i was not guilty. Mrs Abbott worked very hard to get me a sentence that was just and fair. She is honest and caring. I would recommend her to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney..

"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."
