I hired this firm to contest a subpoena served to me. They wrote a polite letter to the opposing counsel requesting it be withdrawn. The request was firmly denied and opposing counsel told us to do whatever we had to do. Abbott did nothing but side with the opposing counsel and send me a big fat bil...l. I would NEVER recommend Abbott and Abbott for anything. Moving on, I hired a new attorney who actually represented me and defended me with the law. I was an out of state resident, the plaintiff knew I lived out of state, the subpoena was improperly served, air fare was not tendered, the cost to miss work and fly back to GA would have caused undue hardship, and the subject matter requested was not relevant to the plaintiff's case. My new attorney immediately took action and filed the Motion to Quash and the Rule Nisi in my case.

I sought out this legal assistance early 2015 due to my ex-spouse filing a contempt order for past payments I was not capable of funding. (My child support was extremely high and other divorce related costs all the more so.) The first reaction was to file bankruptcy, then "see what they could do." ... After taking retainer, and then asking for financials all of my financials, they dropped my case right before a summons date, and subsequently charged me for the "work" done! My case history was never thoroughly reviewed, and it would easily have found that I would qualify for a post-divorce modification if they took the time! Why did I have to find this out a year later on my own? I thought legal advice was to help with ways we do not know ourselves. Anyway, with loss of time and loss of significant money, I am using Avvo to find more suitable counsel. I suggest reviewing Avvo ratings and review the comments. Thank you Avvo for your service - wish I found you earlier.
