The MOST INCREDIBLE ATTORNEY AND INDIVIDUAL!!!

Cy Abdo is an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE ATTORNEY AND MAN. I spoke at length with more than 20 attorney's from Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne County, some at double the cost of Cy. I am certain, no other attorney could have produced the results Cy did, nor put in as much time and effort, nor provided the EXCE...LLENT level of response throughout the entire process. I was able to get in contact with Cy over the phone, even on a weekend, over text and through email. His response time was always IMMEDIATE. He let me know what documents would be helpful to the case, that he received the documents I sent, and even answered any unexpected questions to situations that arose outside of typical business hours. I can't imagine there is an attorney that works harder and is more available to his clients, than Cy. He was in the office every day, even during COVID when many attorney's were working from home. He was in early each morning, and even went in on Saturday for a good portion of the day to work on one of my cases. The hard work, and many hours, he put into the case yielded results no other attorney was able to offer. Many of the other attorney's I spoke with thought jail time was definitely a possibility, anywhere between a weekend to 30 days. Cy was able to avoid any jail time, and even obtain minimal sentences on both cases. Even with a prior Felony and Domestic Violence charge on my record, he was able to get a Domestic Violence Second offense reduced to Disorderly Conduct with only a year probation. He was also able to get the second Disorderly Conduct charge deferred, meaning it will not appear on my record, after a short probation. Both of these cases took phone calls to prosecuting attorney's, which HE INITIATED, followed up on, and also pursued different avenues when we received an unfavorable response from the first prosecuting attorney on the more damaging second case. Also, the good working relationships, he had established with the other attorney's, enabled him to be INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE and have good communication and resolve both cases even prior to being in the court room, which was very important to me. Furthermore, the RESPECT he has earned from the JUDGE was evident, as she stated each of the four times I was in front of her, that 'I was lucky to have such an upstanding, good, and well respected attorney'. The third time I was in front of the judge she stated 'normally an individual would receive jail time for such an offense, and that I need to be thankful that Cy is SO WELL RESPECTED, and as a result my sentence was much lower than it normally would be'. The fourth, and last time I was with the same judge, she specifically stated that 'I would not have received the limited sentences I did, if it wasn't for Cy and that I should be very thankful for his preparation and the way he represented me in the court room'. The judge did not state this once about any of the other attorney's present for any of the other cases, during any of those four appearances. There were also no additional fees beyond what Cy quoted me, even as the case progressed. Even after my case was finished, and he had no other obligation to the case, he still continued to help me by providing a recommendation for a psychologist that was part of my sentencing. He even personally reached out to the doctor, explained the circumstances and let him know my financial limitations. As a result, the doctor agreed to offer his services at a lesser rate than when I had originally spoken with him. Also, after the case was done, Cy kindly typed up a cover letter and provided the letter of apology to the victim because I was unable to have contact with her as a condition of my probation. Lastly, I experienced much anxiety over the two charges I received. When that anxiety was high, he took the time to answer any questions I had, and never made me feel any shame for the mistakes I had made. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this man, he is an INCREDIBLE ATTORNEY AND INDIVIDUAL!

Thank you so much for this review. We know that it is a difficult process to hire a lawyer. A lot of marketing can appear to be a bunch of bragging about who is the "best". As you mention, attorneys also use scare tactics to charge hefty prices. And if you read reviews carefully, you wonder if they are real or written by someone's grandma. Well, I am glad we delivered a result which was better than I expected but always felt that you deserved. Thanks for doing absolutely everything that I asked to help get great deals and close these files that could have gone south. Many many thanks.

Where can one start, this law firm , Cy Abdo and his son are this firm , Cy handled my case which was a high bac. I had no idea what a bac was and the charges . My first decision was to search on line for an attorney. Cy Abdo law popped up , I read others but I didn't see any good reviews , just sa...w what my rights are and how they will fight in court. I was quilty as charged to read about fighting in court was absurd to me.. I just seen dollars signs in everything Attorneys the most. Not to mention the horrific charges I will face for my actions . So I began to read Cy,s reviews over and over so many. Folks he has helped so many to read. I thought I would call him he responded at once , showed great concern for me and met me on an off day at once.. he layed out a plan that far exceeded my best expectations. I thought to myself how can this be possible.. his confidence is over whelming his demeanor was straight forward and held compassion for me. He really cared about me. That is very rare. Reviews are one thing to guide us that need a good Attorney. It is another to pick the right one the first time and know that you have hit the ball on the mark . There was no need for me to see another. His fee was fair as fair can be , on top of what I was facing.. his job was absolutely astounding . He surpassed all my hopes. I ended up with a owvi. That is impaired driving at no time did I see a jail cell at no time did I lose my license . I had a son in the hospital hurt very bad. He was crushed. In an accident I was going through it all Cy took his personal time to always inquire about my boy. There is not enough words to describe the effort this man did and the great job in the end.. In the end of WW2 as are American soldiers returned home through New york harbor there was a great banner all the wives, daughters , sister's all the women waiting sewed and put it on a high sloped roof top .. it simply said WELL DONE. If I could write in the sky a thousand feet high. To Cy Abdo it would say WELL DONE !!!!!!!!!!!

Cy Abdo & Zachary Hartkop are AWESOME!!!

Cy and his firm were able to get a charge of Retail Fraud reduced to Disorderly Conduct. He was incredibly helpful through the entire experience. I called him based only on the reviews I had read online, and I am SO grateful that I did. He answered my calls and texts almost immediately and provide...d me with helpful answers to ALL my questions. From the very first phone call, he was so kind and made me feel so relieved and supported during a very low point in my life. He was very knowledgeable about everything I was going through and took the time to explain everything to me clearly. On the day of my Arraignment, Zachary Hartkop came to represent me and he spoke with the Prosecutor and assured me everything would be fine. He talked me through it all and when the time came, everything turned out even better than I expected. If you want lawyers that are going to fight for your best interest and make you feel like you are priority #1 every step of the way, these two gentlemen are your answer!! THANK YOU!!

First Time Attorney Needed

Cy was very approachable and gave us a lot of information when we first met with him. He discussed our options in a clear and comprehensive manner. We felt from the beginning that Cy would fight for our case. Once hired he always met us at court in a timely manner and helped us navigate the legal s...ystem. We trusted him and followed his directions. We were very happy with the services he provided. In the end the case was resolved successfully and we are glad we put our trust in Cy. We are grateful for all he had done for us.

I could not have asked for a better lawyer.

I hired Cy Abdo for an Operating While Intoxicated Causing Death charge. Obviously this is a very serious charge and as I had never been in trouble with the law before, I had no idea where to turn for representation. I hired Cy based on reviews I saw online and basically just took a chance. I cannot ...tell you what a great decision this was. From the first meeting, Cy treated me with respect. He was not judgmental of my offense in any way and made me feel like I was in good hands from the beginning. Cy is so well versed in criminal law and has probably "seen it all" in his lengthy career. He took the time to explain everything in a way I could completely understand without talking down to me in any way. I always knew exactly what to expect as my case went through the system. Cy worked so hard for me the entire way through the system. He wrote a brilliant report to the sentencing judge that I am convinced help me get the extremely favorable sentence I received. I was not acquitted because I did commit this offense, but I got an incredibly fair sentence and I am so grateful for it. Without Cy's hard work I know I would have received a much stiffer sentence. Finally, if you want a lawyer who will treat you with respect and will fight for you, please consider Cy Abdo. He will have your back.
