Very Impressed

I came across Mr. Abdo online during my search for a lawyer to help me though my Marijuana infraction. Right from the start I knew he was the man for the job. I called him on a Friday and he came into the office on Saturday just to meet with me before I had even cut him a check. We talked about my ca...se that day and I hired him. As I waited for the charges to be filed by the state of Michigan, which took over 7 months he was easy to get in contact with he was never to busy to take a phone call or text. I can't tell you enough how different this was from my past experience with other lawyers. His son Matthew was also on my case and he was just like his father he was well versed in his trade. These gentlemen really understood The Michigan Penal Code. When I went to court for my sentencing Cy and Matthew made me feel at ease, I got the best possible result for my case due do the hard work and understanding of the law thanks to Cy and Matthew Abdo. I can't thank them enough for everything they both did for me. Worth every penny.

On behalf of Matthew and myself, thank you for this review. Believe me, we know that leaving a review for lawyers is significantly different than leaving one for a restaurant. Reviews reflect directly upon us as people and lawyers. Also, those that are knocking on our door like to keep things quiet. In other words, leaving a review for a personal/confidential criminal case is not like leaving a review for a hamburger. Yes, once on board, we accept texts and emails. We like to do things in 'real time' rather than put off messages. Logistically, we are not always able to talk or text in the moment (we do sleep and eat). However, we do attempt to achieve 'near immediate' attention to every office detail and client concern. Again, thank you for your review. Matt and Cy

Excellent

Both Cy and Matt were excellent in handling my case. From the initial consultation, arraignment, pretrial, and trial they were always professional and responsive to any of my questions or concerns. I highly recommend The Abdo Law firm.

Case Dismissed

Cy Abdo is a lawyer who will fight for his client with integrity, endless energy, and professionalism. Mr. Abdo defended my son against serious charges. He spent many hours interviewing my son, gathering information to fairly represent the actual events, and assessing my son's involvement and intenti...ons. He always treated my son with respect. At the same time, Mr. Abdo clearly spelled out his individual responsibilities and choice of friends in view of the law. He pleaded my son's case with conviction. All charges were dismissed. We are so thankful to Mr. Abdo. Cy Abdo is simply the best!

Thank you for posting this review. Although I haven't mentioned this in the past, I am glad that you realize that your review is anonymous. We understand that many people may be skeptical about posting a review because of privacy issues in relation to a criminal case. Be assured that your privacy is respected and protected. As to your review, we were able to get felony drug charges dismissed in a conservative county pursuant to HYTA with less than 1 day of probation! That's not a clerical error, 1 DAY! That was awesome. In addition, we were able to retain HYTA status in another jurisdiction, have the Judge terminate probation and grant HYTA on the spot without any further court involvement. Even I know that these deals were miraculous, the Judges in both courts were compassionate and went against the usual rules for cases such as this. Thank you for your kindness, patience with our office, understanding that the system can be frustrating and believing in our plan. Abdo Law

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. Cy and Matthew

Outstanding Work

Cy Abdo --- I can't thank him enough. He took care of me with a "cut it to you straight" consultation, and then a very intricate process of next steps to take. I was involved in a Hit and Run and was staring down 8 points on my license (6 pts coming from Leaving the Scene of an Accident including des...truction of property. The additional 2 pts were for Failure to Control Vehicle) In addition, probation, $1000s in fees, and even jail time was also a possibility. I did exactly as Cy instructed and after his son represented me honorably in court (completing Matt's review next), I was dropped to a 0 pts Misdemeanor that may not even show up on my record, and no probation. I had to pay $500 in court fees, which I paid up front and considering what I was up against initially, this is one of the biggest personal wins I've ever experienced. Cy, as stated, I can't thank you enough. Thank you so much for your services. I would advise you to anyone looking for an attorney.

Your review is greatly appreciated. It is euphoric when we plan a strategy and predict a solution which come together like they did in your case. I know we met on a Sunday and that it looked bad. By the end of that day, we were walking away with a ticket, no arrest, no bond conditions, no testing and the police stopped parking in front of your house to track you down. Matt took over in the courtroom with the outcome that you described: case closed, no probation, no counseling, no testing, no points! Sticking to that plan that we laid out on that Sunday was the key to the final outcome which was achieved. Thanks again for the compliments. We know people make mistakes and don't deserve the big hit that can occur when a case is mishandled. We promise to continue to give 110% to our clients to get the best possible results. Best of life to you. Abdo Law
