Excellent Parole Representation
If I could rate Abbi Taylor@ 100 stars I would. Thank you Abbi Taylor and your staff for your professionalism, hard work and legal expertise in representing me. Your successful results with my being granted early parole was beyond all my expectations. I am thrilled and so grateful to be back home with my family and much earlier than I ever could have hoped for. I can't thank you enough for your commitment, legal knowledge, advocacy and for being the voice I needed on my behalf.

Amazing Lawyer
Abbi is an amazing lawyer. We hired her for my dad’s parole/probation case. Abbi’s results exceeded our family’s expectations. Seeing her in action in the courtroom was inspiring. In addition, her office staff is extremely professional and responsive. Thank you, Abbi and Linda.

Extraordinary lady of law!
I came to Ms Taylor thinking that my criminal background was destroyed. I'm a responsible adult that made a bad decision at a very emotional time in my life. This lady has a great interaction with her clients. I was able to feel free to express what and why I needed her services. Sharp doesn't begin to describe her. I will never forget that she was sent by God to help me. You can not go wrong with Ms Taylor.

Excellent!
Abbi knows her stuff, is patient, thorough and compassionate. She took the time to explain the parole process in detail and provided support before, during and after the decision. I am very happy with the outcome but also the professionalism and responsiveness from Abbi and Linda. I Highly recommend this firm!

mr
This 5 stars rating is past do ..it should have been posted long time ago and it's well deserved to a lawyer that understand human nature and passionate about her work and knows the law don't forget she is a an honorable Judge as well as i am reading through these feedback i could not help to see the one that had the same case as mine In my case i was being deported and my Immigration lawyer recommended Abbi so after few meetings and careful study of my case Abbi had told me that she is not a miracle maker but she will do what ever it takes to reduce the charges against me and with the proper authorities within the extent of the law of the land,,i remember one of my lawyers had told me one time and I quote .." there is a great justice system in this country that often you can't beat but there is always ways to go around it .." key word here to go around it and that not 100% guaranteed . so here i am 12 years later my deportation case received a waver from the immigration judge thanks to Abbi i am still here and i would not hesitate to recommend her at all .
Reading thru all the ratings they all have something good to say about Abbi in fact 95% with five stars rating . But even the worst of them which aren't many , the one where the client didn’t walk away 100 percent satisfied, sends a message that this attorney is a good hire. Nobody’s perfect after all she is human . In life and in law, there are times where you do your best and still come out on the losing side. But don’t forget to look for those silver linings.
Sometimes three out of five stars is the best you can hope for.
Sometimes a three star review is exactly what a client needs to see.

The Lawyers’ Lawyer
I am a lawyer myself so I like to believe that I know how to tell a good lawyer from a bad one. I have six children and Abbi has represented two of them on various criminal charges. My teenage son in particular has been a one man crime wave this summer!
Abbi is knowledgeable, thorough, detail oriented and extremely competent. The number one complaint about lawyers is that they fail to communicate with clients about what is going on. That is not the case with Abbi. To the contrary, she is truly proactive in the management of her cases and her responsiveness is always timely.
They say that the difference between a good lawyer and a great lawyer is that a good lawyer knows the law while a great lawyer knows the judge. Well Abbi checks both of those boxes! She is an outstanding attorney.

A clear mind for an unclear time
I can not speak more highly of Abbi and her abilities. I was finding myself very quickly in a quicksand situation and she was able to help come in to provide guidance, clarity and manage the situation.
If you find yourself in a situation that you think even for a second might need some legal advice - please do not think to call anyone else but Abbi.

Home today because of Abbi Taylor
Abbi Taylor was recommended to me by an attorney who had taken a continuing education course taught by Abbi. I initially emailed her the timeline & details of my son's case. During our consultation, she developed a strategy that was ABSOLUTELY SUCCESSFUL. First, a motion to modify his sentence was filed and we prevailed. (It IS who you know!) Next, a petition for parole was filed, & again, we prevailed. (May I say again, it IS who you know?)
My son, with a 10 year sentence, facing 78 months minimum in prison, was home after 16 months.
Abbi Taylor and Linda Cornwall did that. I did the collection of information, the gathering of data, the scut work. Abbi executed flawlessly.

Post Conviction Pardon
After meeting Abbi and her assistant Linda l was convinced she would be the one to handle my request for a Pardon. It was a very old case involving a serious felony conviction. Addi was very specific in what to expect. I think most of all l trusted her. Thanks to Abbi l was successful and obtained my Pardon. I have the highest gratitude and respect for her. I would recommend her without question.

Sentence Modification
I originally retained Abbi to represent me before the State Board of Pardons and Parole and help me obtain an early parole date for a level 8 criminal conviction. While the Parole Board's guidelines for my crime required me to serve at least 65% of my sentence, the Parole Board granted me parole approximately 6 months early. I attribute this to the unwavering support of my family and Abbi's considerable efforts.
My conditions of probation on my original sentence forbids contact with persons under the age of 18. Since being released from prison, my daughter gave birth to my first grandchild. According to the conditions of probation, I was not allowed to see my grandchild even if the visit was supervised.
Abbi filed a motion with the Judge in Superior Court responsible for my case, asking that my sentence be modified to allow me supervised contact with my grandchild. Abbi represented me at the hearing before the judge. Our motion was opposed by the prosecutor's office. However, the judge ruled in our favor and now I can be with my grandchild for Christmas.
Abbi did an excellent job, was very supportive throughout the process and was readily available whenever I needed her. I would highly recommend Abbi Taylor.

Trust is Important
It is true, you only go to the Doctor for check ups and when sick. Same for an Attorney. Abbi Taylor is simply the best. While taking a forensic look at my case, finding what I knew she would, Ms. Taylor also cautioned me about the expense and risk. A great Counselor, just bring her the problem (be honest about every detail) and the results will speak for themselves.
However, it is also true, behind every great attorney, is a great partner. There is ABSOLUTELY no greater individual in the legal field than Ms. Cornwall. When you look up the work professional, a picture of this dynamic duo will appear. Do your self a favor and place your mind at ease, if you need legal advice - stop looking and call this firm.

Excellent Attorney
After meeting with Abbi for a consultation for my son I felt very confident that her knowledge and experience made her the attorney to handle his case. I was pleased with her direct and honest appraisal of the case. Linda was quick to respond to questions and kept me updated. The case was handled with integrity and compassion and I am very pleased with the result.

Abbi Taylor can also fix your immigration problems
Abbi Taylor is one of the best lawyers in Atlanta. Abbi Taylor is not only a lawyer but also a judge which makes a huge difference. I hired Abbi because I was having problems renewing my expired green card. I had got into some legal problems with the law and it was hard to renew my green card, but first Abbi took a look at all my previous charges and told me which one was the problem. Second Abbi told me that she can sit down with the judge and the prosecutor of that charge and persuade them to clarify the sentence so that I wouldn't have problems with immigration. She did what she said she will and today I have a new green card and no problems with immigration. I highly recommend Abbi Taylor for any legal issues that you may have. She does it all!

Amazing attorney and staff
The chemistry at the law office of Abbi Taylor was amazing. There was constant communication and advisement that made the whole experience pleasant and rewarding. Ms.Taylor was very honest and straightforward about the parole process and the steps involved before and after my hearing. I stand before you today a free man because of Ms. Taylor's efforts. I was not even eligible for parole until next year. I highly recommend her above all others.

Misdemeanor Case Dismissed
Abbi is not only an outstanding lawyer, but also a very caring person. I reached out to her after an incident that happened to me and I needed help. She invited me to her office for a free consultation, having already made research on what my issue was so she can be as time efficient as possible. It only took a couple of months for her to completely close my case. She went beyond what was expected in any way possible. Abbi Taylor brought back the positivity and happiness in my life!

Abbi is terrific
I approached Abbi by email to assist me with restriction of my record (I had no idea how to go about it myself). She responded almost immediately and said she could indeed help me out. She then proactively contacted the solicitors office, relayed my case to them and was able to get their agreement to restrict my record. Abbi promised to stay in touch with me and keep me updated. Only a few days later I heard back from her with some great news -- my record was expunged/ restricted. I couldn't be any more thankful to Abbi for her responsiveness, kindness, and, most importantly, effectiveness. Thank you!

super lawyer without a doubt, and such a warm person too.
From the first time i met with Abbi i felt confident she was the right person to represent me. It honestly felt like she cared about the outcome of my case, both her and Linda. She made it clear that it would be a difficult case and i respected her honesty, but wow i couldnt have asked for a better result for my case. she made it to where i can stay in this country with my family and also ways to help with with the anxiety and stress what comes with going through the court process. both Her and Linda answered all the questions i had. also other lawyers spoke very highly of her they all assured me i was in great hands. if any one i know needs legal representation i will direct to Abbi without question.

"Abbi was my litigation processor in law school. As a student at the time who knew very little about the practice of law, it became obvious that she had such a firm grasp on how to litigate cases that it was second nature to her. This allowed her to explain things in such an efficient way. She is a highly regarded attorney who gets results for her clients. Anyone who hires her is lucky as was I to have her to teach me. She is truly one of the greatest attorneys one will ever have a chance to meet."

"Please allow me to add my name to the list of immigration attorneys to honor and endorse Abbi's work. She is a phenomenal post-conviction relief attorney. Not only is Abbi a wonderful criminal defense attorney she has also developed quite a reputation for being able to reopen past criminal convictions for non-citizens and get them appropriately reworded or dismissed so that the foreign national is no longer deportable. She is one of the very, very few criminal defense attorneys that I am confident to refer clients to for complex post-conviction relief here in Georgia. She has my full endorsement."

"I refer many of my immigration clients who have criminal issues to Abbi. She can work wonders when it comes to eliminating some of the unintended immigration consequences of a criminal conviction. Whether it is modifying or clarifying a sentence to avoid an immigration bar or vacating a conviction entirely, Abbi knows how to get it done. If you are a non-citizen facing a criminal charge, you need to know that not every criminal attorney understands the complex interplay between criminal and immigration law. You need an attorney like Abbi!"
