Top in the game
Cy abdo is an outstanding attorney. After being in an MVA resulting in negligent homicide charges, my driving privileges were revoked for nearly five years. I was doubtful that I would drive again. Cy assured me that I could resume driving if I trusted his expertise and followed the steps he outlined...
Dear Justin, Thank you from all of us at Abdo Law for the review of our firm. We have waited for this day to come for a few years and I'm sure that you are glad that this is in your past. You worked hard to get your legal problems under control and obtain a restoration of your license. We are glad that we could be by your side during this oppressive legal process. You kept a positive attitude throughout the process and did everything that we recommended to win your case! Congratulations. Cy

The first person I call when I'm in trouble
I first contacted Cy about seven years ago when I was charged with possession of marijuana and paraphernalia in Rochester, and since then my confidence in his firm has been implicit. I don’t feel the need to shop around or get quotes or advice from any other lawyers or firms after dealing with Cy – ...
I appreciate your review wholeheartedly. The legal system can be frustrating abd oppressive. We attempt to get our clients out of the system with the best possible results in every single case that we handle. We consider it a victory when we can get a dismissal, a felony reduced to a misdemeanor or obtain probation when jail is on the table. Again, than you so much for taking the time to write a review. Cy

Thank you Abraham for your review. I appreciate the proactive measures which you took to facilitate my request with the prosecutor. In the end, the result (reduction of the offense, 6 months non-reporting probation and a dismissal at the end) was exceptional. Glad we were able to get this case in your rear view mirror.

Everything I could have hoped for in an Attorney
I have never needed an attorney before but I work in similar circles and Cy's reputation is well known. It was his knowledge of how things worked in with the judges in the area that was able to get me the best deal possible. He was always on top of my case, eve kept me motivated to get things done ...
Of course, this is greatly appreciated. Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with legal services. Cy
