If I could give more than 5 stars I would

No one wants to be in legal trouble, but when something happens, you definitely want the best attorney you can get. That being said, I can tell you from personal experience that Cy Abdo and the Abdo Law Firm, are the best in the business. From my first call to their office through the end of my case,... Cy and his team not only treated me with respect, dignity and compassion, but they got me results. Beyond just helping me with my case, the Abdo Law Firm has exceeded the expectations of everyone I know who has used their services, which is why they are also my family's lifelong attorneys.

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.

Best Lawyer in Macomb county

I have known Cy for many years and have had the pleasure of him representing me during some tough times. Cy goes above and beyond every time I have worked with him and always gets me the best possible outcome. He knows the system inside and out, and I couldn't say enough good things about him. If yo...u need to hire an attorney, Cy Abdo is hands down the best person for the job.

Thank you so much Al. Our firm strives to find the best solution for a client's legal situations knowing that the legal system can be unfair and oppressive. We see police reports that are rushed through the system without complete investigation of the facts. In addition, the prosecutor may attempt to over-charge a person to get a later plea deal on a lesser charge. We believe that our philosophy of diplomacy and strategic advocacy allows us to get favorable outcomes and set the record straight. Thanks again Al.
