Saved My Future!

I was charged with a first time DUI. I'm on a professional career track and a criminal charge could have ruined my career. I'm not from the area and went into this consultation completely blind. Cy laid out all the options and made quick work of getting the ball rolling. While I was extremely hes...itant to spend such a big sum of money, I am SO thankful I did. Worth it ten times over. Cy got me the BEST deal I could ever possibly hope for, saving my future in the process. I am endlessly thankful to Cy and Matt for their work on my case.

We set a goal based upon logical calculations in the early stages of your case and planned a course of action. I was not willing to take 'no' for an answer after I looked at this case from every angle and what you have achieved during your lifetime. We stood together with you during the frustrating court process so that you could see our efforts at every step in your case. Fortunately, there is such a thing as karma! Thank you for your review.

Phenominal job, well done ! Above and beyond all expectatons!

Thank you Cy! I was simply Amazed, Wow!!! After being pulled over in Macomb County by the Sheriff, I found myself in the thralls of the Legal System. Based on the evidence, I was designated a Super Drunk, (What is that I thought?) That in itself scared me to death, researching once I got released.... I started immediately doing my research online for a Attorney. After several hours of searching online and based on Testimonials from all the sites I visited, I filled out the online form for Cy, at Abdo Law Firm, to contact me. I did this around 8:00 p.m., the day I got released from jail. I did not expect any correspondence that same evening, so I turned in for the night, bewildered and hopeful. The next morning, I realized, I received not only a call but also a text from Cy at approximately 8:30 pm the night I submitted my request to meet. I am in Sales, with that sense of urgency I knew I had the right Attorney. He and I spoke the following morning and I was in his office by 10:00 a.m., Unbelievable!!! He and I spoke about my challenge, and Cy had a calming effect with my scenario. In closing, Cy Abdo laid out the scenario, and I followed his advice to a Tee. Cy not only delivered what he and I spoke about at the consultation, Cy Abdo knocked it out of the Park above and beyond what my pragmatic expectations were telling me. Cy was able to get me in and out of the Court System within a month with fantastic results. I have heard of others in my scenario that went with another option for a Attorney, and their end game was much more harsh than mine. I was blessed to have met Cy and his team. I highly recommend Cy Abdo and his Legal Team for any Legal Challenges one may have. Job well done Cy!!! Thank you once again..

Again, there is a lot to be said for having all of the stars lined up regarding your case. First of all, we had a plan on Day 1 and followed it. A good client is someone like you that hires a lawyer and then actually takes our advice based upon our 36 years of experience. What is the point of hiring a lawyer and not following their recommendations? Second all, you obtained a private evaluation which we were able to utilize during every phase of the court process (plea bargaining, sentencing). Thirdly, because of preparation and watching your case like a hawk, our prosecutor and the judge came through as we requested. I am so grateful for your review sir. Like other reviews, I can usually give credit to our clients that take initiative and invest in their own cause. In other words, being proactive. In addition, we know how to work with the system and to achieve favorable results. In your case, we handled it completely with 1 court date in less than 1 month from start to finish. In the end: there was no requirement of reporting probation, no drug testing, no alcohol testing, no community service, no vehicle immobilization, no ignition interlock (always required for a super DUI), no counseling and minimal fines and costs. We make it our business to be the best at the cases we accept which is what our clients deserve. Thanks again for your kind words. ABDO LAW

Definitely worth the money!

I recently was charged with an OUI and open intoxicates in vehicle. He worked a miracle and was able to get me a deviation to careless driving and completely drop the charge for open intoxicates. Cy Abdo was extremely knowledgeable in the courtroom and i was very relieved to see that he knew exactly... how to handle things with the judge. Cy is a very friendly, honorable, and respectable man. I am so thankful i chose him.

Drunk driving cases are considered policy cases by the prosecutorial officials in many metro Detroit jurisdictions. This means that they are getting harder to reduce and almost impossible to get amended down to a non-criminal civil infraction such careless driving. We were extremely pleased that all of the efforts advanced on your behalf produced the results as you have described. It is "best case scenario" when a criminal charge is dropped. Even when we believe that a client deserves to get a criminal case dismissed, it is not necessarily something that we can deliver 100% of the time. You were instrumental in helping your own case by obtaining positive documentation and a detailed substance abuse evaluation which we submitted to the prosecutor and the judge. Thank you very much for your kind words and for allowing Abdo Law to provide you with legal services.

OWI-High BAC

I was arrested in Clinton Twp. for a complicated drunk driving. I hired Cy Abdo to represent me. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. It was better than I hoped for. I was able to keep my license with minimal restrictions and no mobile breath analyzer. My license was fully restored within thr...ee months. Cy was very professional. He always returned calls promptly. He kept me informed and educated on the process all through the case. He is well respected in the community and in the court and that was very obvious. He is an excellent attorney. My outcome was outstanding. He really knows the law and worked hard for me. I’ll be forever grateful.

First of all, thank you for the review. Getting a super dui (over .17) reduction to a lower offense is not assured. In this case, we asked for various documentation and a substance abuse evaluation. A deviation request was made for a reduction and the prosecutor granted our request. Obviously, you did everything that we asked to help your own situation and make our job easier. Again, thank you for Abdo Law!

Drivers License Reinstatement

I am from Croswell Mi. I have 5 Drunk Driving Convictions, a revoked license. My convictions were in the late 80's and early 90's I did have 2years of AA and Alcohol Therapy in which now I am a recovered alcoholic . I talked to lawyers up in the Thumb Area and they would not touch my case of a Drive...r License Reinstatement, unless I had a AA meeting within the last 12 months . So In June of 2014 I called Cy Abdo. He made this as easy as can be. He set me up with a interview, I met with CY and Matthew, I told them I was a recovered Alcoholic with 2 years of AA and Alcohol counseling. They both gave me a strong sense of security and what I really appreciated is that CY and Matthew believed in me. With there knowledge of the Michigan Drunk Driving and Drivers License law was stellar to any other Attorney I had talked to previously, and I have talked to a lot of attorneys. With there knowledge and expertise, they were able to grant me a full Drivers License Reinstatement with no restrictions or Breath Analyzer machine and this after there first attempt! During Drivers License board hearing. Matthew was prepared properly, he kept me calm, and everything went as planned. Now I am able to drive I feel like a man again, Thanks to Cy and Matthew, all I can say know is that , if you are need of great attorneys I recommend Cy and Matthew Abdo.
