Don’t hire

Saw his hateful post on twitter about wanting to turn Gaza into dust so “Jews can go to the beach”. I wouldn’t want my lawyer to be an antisemite. How about you?

Came to trail unprepared and no documents submitted on my behalf.

Jay is horrible looking into legal advice against this firm.I'm unable to go into detail…think twice.

The absolute worst! Took my money. Never read my file and made a few phone calls.

Jay Abt charged $25,000 to represent me in a misdemeanor case. After 2 years he admitted that he hadn't even read my case file yet. His whole defense was to try and make a few phone calls and try and plea it down. He says that he is extremely busy. Even when he scheduled a meeting to have me come in ...and review my case he admitted that he still didn't even open up my case and read it. He tries to "wing" everything. If you are looking for an expensive plea then he is your man.

This is review completely false. This client was charged with vehicular homicide which is a very, very serious charge, and requires a lot of strategic preparation. He never gave me a chance to defend him, because he was too busy and in a hurry to be patient and listen to my legal advice. He fired me before we even had a chance to get the case thrown out. I had 2 other vehicular homicide cases I defended at the same time, in the same court, which were completely dismissed. I never pled either of those clients, but they actually listened to their lawyer, unlike Mr. Brunetti.
