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!

Drivers License Reinstatement

I am from Croswell Mi. I have 5 Drunk Driving Convictions, a revoked license. My convictions were in the late 80's and early 90's I did have 2years of AA and Alcohol Therapy in which now I am a recovered alcoholic . I talked to lawyers up in the Thumb Area and they would not touch my case of a Drive...r License Reinstatement, unless I had a AA meeting within the last 12 months . So In June of 2014 I called Cy Abdo. He made this as easy as can be. He set me up with a interview, I met with CY and Matthew, I told them I was a recovered Alcoholic with 2 years of AA and Alcohol counseling. They both gave me a strong sense of security and what I really appreciated is that CY and Matthew believed in me. With there knowledge of the Michigan Drunk Driving and Drivers License law was stellar to any other Attorney I had talked to previously, and I have talked to a lot of attorneys. With there knowledge and expertise, they were able to grant me a full Drivers License Reinstatement with no restrictions or Breath Analyzer machine and this after there first attempt! During Drivers License board hearing. Matthew was prepared properly, he kept me calm, and everything went as planned. Now I am able to drive I feel like a man again, Thanks to Cy and Matthew, all I can say know is that , if you are need of great attorneys I recommend Cy and Matthew Abdo.

DUI

I was charged with OWI In Macomb County, Michigan. This was my first brush with the law, and I was extremely nervous. I hired Cy and I can't tell you how glad I did. I can tell I hired the right guy during our initial consultation. He educated me in regards to the entire process and just with his... nature and years of experience brought me to an ease. During the arraignment we plea-bargained to the lowest possible charge, which was wonderful. However, the thing I was most impressed with was the representation during my sentencing. About 7:45 am on the day of the sentencing I received a text from Cy himself saying he will be there. In the grand scheme of things, I'm not the firm's biggest fish. The professional care of all his clients was extremely impressive. In addition to the professionalism, the sentencing went very, very well. It went better than I could possibly imagined. With all that, the fee was rather reasonable. Getting an OWI is an extremely stressful situation; however, I couldn't have received a better result. I couldn't be happier in what Cy has done for me. Thanks again Cy.

A great attorney who knows exactly what he is doing-

Cy Abdo took my case on which was complicated up front. A second operating while intoxicated offense coupled with an accident. Cy was diligent with what my responsibilites would be to present my case and he worked very hard. I had step by step instructions on what I needed to do for the courts. I...n the end, Cy was able to plead my case down to a wreckless driving charge and I on track with a new lease on life. I would recommend him to anyone-even my mother.
