OVI - dismissed

I hired Abby for an OVI and reckless driving case. I was very pleased with the way she handled my case. Abby worked out a plea for a 4th degree misdemeanor with no probation and a $100 fine with court costs. I don’t think there could’ve been a better outcome. 10/10 I would recommend Abby, she did

Great DWI/DUI attorney

I would 100% recommend Abagale to anyone who has a DUI/DWI, she is knowledgeable in this area. She communicates perfectly and will answer any dumb questions you have. She got me the results we wanted in my case. She is very professional and polite. She definitely knows what she’s doing! 100/10 highly... recommend!

Abigail Bentley I am very grateful your help, thank you!

I hired Abigail Bentley to help me with an OVI case and after speaking to a handful of lawyers, I knew she was the best lawyer. She had so much more knowledge and information than other other lawyers I had spoken with. She was very diligent with her work, making everything so much easier for me. She ...stays on top of getting everything taken care for you in a speedy manner. Emailing was also amazing! She was such a quick response, always informed me of any information I needed to know, letting me know what she was doing, emailing me her responses to prosecutors, court date reminders, I mean every detail, she was great. When you meet her in person you realize how much passion she really has for her job, how much she is devoted to her clients, and giving as much attention as your case needs and more. She got my case dismissed and I am back to driving. Absolutely amazing I would recommend her to my friends or anyone seeking a lawyers assistance.

She's one of the nicest people I've ever met and a sweetheart too and will do everything she can to help you.

If you need an amazing lawyer you should hire Abagale Bentley from Dominy Law Firm because she is a very nice lady who knows what she is doing and what a pleasure it was too have you as my lawyer. You accomplished everything I asked you too for me and I will never forget what you done for me. Getting... 4 charges dismissed completely and my 5th charge for OVI impaired reduced to a physical control charge and my license back in 6 more months and really nice driving privileges until then. I just have to keep a log of where I go. No points against my license for physical control either. I will never forget what you done for me and thank you so much ❤️.

Personable, Punctual, Professional, Promt, Connected!

Atty. Abagale is very professional, punctual, and closely backed by experienced attorneys in her firm. She filed everything that needed to be filed very quickly! The county issued me an ALS and was trying to tack on extra charges. Atty. Abagale was able to secure for me limited driving privileges whi...le finding procedural traffic stop errors. She was also able to get a favorable hearing date for me. After she attacked the prosecution with motions, the county made a "clerical error" when the state trooper decided not to ignore the subpoena. The case was resolved on the first and only official hearing because we were prepared to fight the case. I was able to deny a reckless driving offer, plead guilty for speeding (only 6 mph over, and to avoid trial), and get the OVI and ALS dropped. Atty. Abagale and her supporting mentors were able to explain and expound on matters that made my decision-making easy. Thank you, Atty. Abby.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"When I was hiring an attorney for my firm, I received unsolicited recommendations for Abagale Bentley. At the time, she had been working for the Franklin County Public Defender office. Abby is an intelligent quick-learner, and clients love her. I'm glad I hired her, as she is an invaluable member of the Dominy Law Firm."
