Wonderful lawyer & staff!

Jay Abt is a fantastic lawyer. His whole team is amazing. They return calls, work hard, and helped turn my bad situation into a great outcome. I really feel like Mr. Abt cared about me, and worked hard on my case. Thank you so much!

The Best Criminal Defense Lawyer in the State of Georgia!

Jay is an extremely passionate attorney. He took on my brother's case with great vigor and tenacity. While he isn't the best at communicating, he is a fighter and he will go to war for his client. You have to see him at work. He is a beast in the courtroom. His assistant, Ally, definitely balances hi...m out. In instances, where Jay was unable to get through to us, she would empathetically step in and calmly explain the situation to our understanding. All in all, we really appreciate all of the diligence that Jay and his team put into helping my brother. More importantly, my family and I are extremely satisfied with the outcome.

There should be more lawyers like Jay Abt

At some point in our lives there will come a time when it is necessary to hire a lawyer. Choosing the right one can be a scary task. There is always a risk involved when placing your case in the hands of another. Im writing this review to share my thoughts on jay abt of the atlanta based abt law firm.... . 8 months ago I was the defendent of a tragic and heart breaking k9 bite case with my two pit bulls. I had known Mr. Abt for 5 +years and used his services many times previously but was not sure what to do because there are not exactly many lawyers who specialize in defending a pit in a bite case. He took it on for me anyways. Even tho I had securely locked the front door the previous night before bed somehow , no one's really sure that door was wide open in the morning. Allegedly (Although no one witnessed it other then the victim) my male & female pitbul ran out my front door at my townhouse community and attacked my neighbors dog. He then claimed that the dogs attacked him even though we all know that he was just bit breaking up that fight. Animal control took my dogs and detained them for 30 days. They lived in at 2'x 3' cage with a guillotine door with no human contact, they where not able to move for 30 days straight and visitation was Prohibited and I waited and prayed that I would be able to get them back and they would not be euthanized. It was the worst thing I've ever been through. My neighbor just had a few scratches and puncture wounds and their dog had some stitches and ended up being just fine. I have of course reimbursed them for their medical bills. My neighbor, who often let his dog run around without a leash, thought he had the right to say whether my dogs lived or died he pushed for 60 days to get them euthanized on the (first bite ) that occurred for these dogs on record. He sued me criminally and civilly and tried to kill my dogs Arguing that I was not capable of handling dogs of that nature. I was thrown out of my home that i had owned out right for 6 years by the neighborhood homeowners Association. When I finally got my dogs back they were classified as dangerous dogs and banned from the county that I lived in, forcing me to move. . animal control in Cherokee County are the worst. these people are the devil and they don't give a f:$@ about any of the animals there. So, side-note; if you find a stray and you take there. My lawyer stood by my side every minute of this case; he even put aside murder trials to handle the hearings for these two dogs because he knew how much i loved them. Luckily my dogs were saved and even though the criminal charge fines Given by Cherokee County where ridiculous; there can never be a dollar amount too great to put on something that you love dearly. Because my lawyer did his job so well; i guess the civil case was withdrawn. . I cannot describe how valuable jay apt was during this process and my words cannot describe the gratefulness that I have towards this lawyer. I Sat down with Jay one day and asked him why he did what he did for a profession. Defense lawyers endure criticism by many. The reply from him is why I know I can recommend this man. A typical lawyer would not care about you the way jay cares. You see; Many times lawyers have the reputation of doing their business for all the wrong reasons. I can assure you if you sit down face-to-face with this man and you need his help, I promise you he is in it to protect you and to keep you safe . The reason why he does what he does is because at the end of the day he can go to bed knowing that he helped somebody, that he saved the life of another and has kept them away from Injustice and harm. That he has done his very best to stand up for you weather you are right or wrong he is on your side. So, if you are in trouble, . And I must leave you with a serious question to think about... What is you or a loved ones freedom worth?
