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... for the process. He was very detail oriented and knew of any questions or concerns which the courts may have regarding me returning to driving. He directed me to complete any classes and obtain paperwork which might be beneficial prior to my hearing. We had outlined and rehearsed the deposition, and there were no surprises during court. I was initially nervous about the hearing, but quickly realized I was fully prepared and in excellent hands. His representation skills are unmatchable and watching him speak for me in court was inspiring. He articulated my situation and need to move on from the past. I was told that the judge was harsh at decision making; but shortly after the hearing I received word my restoration was granted. Thank you Abdo Law!

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 – ...he has become my go-to lawyer. His compassion for my situation was immediately apparent when I first contacted his office for advice and a quote on my defense. His responses to all of my questions were thorough, thought-out and, above all else, applicable to my specific situation, and he wasted no time in outlining a legal strategy for me based on all of the relevant details. When I agreed to allow him to represent me, I was never left out of the loop and was given clear instructions on what to do, what to say, where to be, and how we we were going to fight the charges brought against me. All of my subsequent interactions with the court then became matter-of-fact, unintimidating and easy-to-follow under Cy’s counsel. His efficiency as the go-between me and the court was surprisingly Spartan and lacking in unnecessary lectures and legal mumbo-jumbo. It’s for all of these reasons and the cornucopia of others not listed here that Cy Abdo is explicitly, unambiguously and unquestioningly the first and only person I call when I need legal help.

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.

Felony Embezzlement

The Abdo Law Firm, more or less saved my future. I made a horrible mistake at a previous place of employment and took money from the company what is considered to be a felony. I went and messaged the Abdo Law Firm off their website and I got a response literally two minutes later from Cy Abdo. We sch...eduled a meeting the very next day and discussed my case. After several trips to the court, I ended up with a great plea bargain. My third visit it was agreed upon that my felony was reduced to a misdemenaor with HYTA, which is probation (usually 12 months) and then if all complies with your probation then the misdemeanor is removed from your record and only you and your lawyer will be able to see it. I had my sentence date, or last court date just this last Friday. I am so thankful for this second chance and I received it because of the Abdo Law Firm. They were extremely knowledgable and always there to speak too. I would recommend the Abdo Law Firm to ANYONE. I can not express my gratitude and thankfulness to this law firm. I was a nervous wreck when I was first charged and thought I was headed to jail for sure. I was reassured by Cy Abdo that it was not going to happen and that they were going to help me. It is well worth the money. If you read all of the reviews of this law firm, they are all very positive and reassuring. I have never left a review for any company or product before until my experience with the Abdo Law Firm. They are excellent lawyers! Do not hesitate if you are in legal trouble, call them! I am so glad I did.

Your case was resolved because we had a solid plan on day 1 and stuck to the plan. First, we set the record straight with the police. Second, we paid 100% restitution to the victim. Lastly, we were able to get many parties on board with our plan including: the detective, the victim, the prosecutor and Judge. The result in your case = DISMISSAL of felony, REDUCTION to misdemeanor, GRANTING HYTA status, NO JAIL and DISMISSAL of proceedings/sealed record in 12 months. This was accomplished by having a strategy and a client that worked closely with our firm to meet our goals and objectives. I am grateful to you for your review. Thank you for allowing ABDO LAW to provide you with legal services! Cy

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!
