On a recent trip to Ohio, I was charged with an OVI along with 2 other traffic violations. With this being said, I knew I would need to be very selective in choosing an attorney to represent me.
After doing my due diligence, I called the law firm of Gounaris Abboud, LPA. I spoke with attorney Tony Abboud about my personal situation. What I quickly learned from my conversation with Tony is that he has the credentials and experience that I could trust.
After I retained Tony as my personal lawyer, the very next day he filed all the necessary paperwork with the court. He explained to me that throughout the process he or his paralegal would always keep me updated every step of the way.
Tony even called me to check in with me from time to time just to check on how I was doing. He truly cares about his clients and is someone who works tirelessly for his clients.
I’m from Wisconsin and Tony was able to get court appearances waived saving me additional time and travel expense.
Moreover, Tony’s paralegal (Emily Smith) was absolutely outstanding in every way. When she would send something to me in the mail, she would call me to make sure I received it to insure nothing would fall through the cracks. Although this may seem simple – it’s also critical.
In the end, Tony was able to get the prosecutor to dismiss the OVI violation along with another traffic citation. I just plead guilty to a minor “turn signal” violation.
With this being said, I would highly recommend Attorney Abboud to anyone who finds themselves in need of legal advice or legal representation. He is simply the best!!
Should you retain his services, you will find him to have masterful communication skills….plus Tony has an outstanding personality!
It’s always easier to get favorable results when you are likeable ….correct?
Everyone of the above attributes is essential! Hire another attorney who is skilled in the law but is lacking in communication skills or simply not likeable … in my opinion, the odds for a non-favorable disposition becomes more likely!
At least, that’s my personal perspective!
So in the end, I am most grateful for the services of Tony Abboud and Emily Smith.
And now I know why the law firm of Gounaris and Abboud are the recipients of many awards!
Thanks Again!
After giving Tony a call, he picked up my case in under an hour. I knew I needed help and there was no question of my guilt, but very few people could have done what Tony did. His empathy and integrity are rare qualities to find in a person, and it makes him a very easy attorney to talk to and work with. I was facing 9 years behind bars, but he managed to facilitate a plea deal that resulted in only four months of incarceration. It was unheard of. His affordable rates are worth every penny and a whole lot more. I've witnessed how prison can destroy the good in a person, but Tony won't let that happen to his clients. If I had stuck with a public defender, my life would not be the same. Thank you, Mr. Abboud, for helping me get a second chance.

Tremendous Lawyer and Person
While searching for legal representation for our incarcerated son, we found Mr. Abboud. He listened to us, and was very interested in helping our son. He went above and beyond the normal expectancy we had for an attorney. He showed great concern for, and confidence in our son. He fought very hard on our son's behave, which paid off, because our son was granted his early release from prison even after the Judge had originally said "No"...thanks to Mr. Abboud. Thank you Mr. Abboud for believing in our son, and doing the work you do so amazingly well. We will recommend everyone who needs an attorney to contact you for their needs.

FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH!!
As I sit her to write this review, tears run down my face. Antony Abboud has restored my faith in Attorneys. My son was released two years early because Antony questioned the judges ruling on not letting my son out on judicial release. Antony's integrity, professionalizem ,compassion and care for his clients is guanine. My son deserved to be released based on his growth, maturity and accomplishments while incarcerated. When the Judge ruled no without even reading his file, Antony knew something was wrong. He set an appointment with the judge and requested that the ruling be considered. When the meeting was over the Judge agreed to release my son. FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH !!!! If it wasn't for his Integrity, heart for fairness and genuine concern for my son, my son would still be incarcerated. On Monday 2/5/18 Antony invited our family to his office to talk with us. He encouraged my son to keep doing well. He told him that it was his amazing record while incarcerated that spoke to the judge. If it wasn't for Antony the file would have NEVER been read! My son was released on January 30,2018. I beg you to use Antony for all of your Criminal Defense needs, you won't be sorry that you did. Our family is back together because of him. Words alone can't even express our gratitude. Thank you Antony.

Above and Beyond
Anthony and his partner worked after hours on a late Friday evening to overcome a delay in the Montgomery County jail's computer system to free one of their clients from spending an unwarranted weekend locked up. Thanks to Tony and his partner!

Great lawyer!
Antony Abboud is a wonderful lawyer. He was always there to talk to you when you needed to talk to him, he never asked for more money regardless of how long the case went and he fought for you the entire time making sure you get the best legal help available. He got a misdemeanor 1 down to a misdemeanor 4. He knows what he is doing and he was absolutely wonderful.
