One of the best attorneys around!

My husband, just like many of us, has made many mistakes in the past, resulting in multiple charges, as well as a loss of his license for over a decade. Thankfully, he turned to Abdo to guide him every step of the way. Cy seemed experienced, organized, knowledgeable, and professional. He instructed m...y husband on what to bring to the hearings, what to do, what to say and how to say it. I felt like he truly had my husband's best interest at heart. Thanks to Cy and the Abdo Law Firm, my husband's driver's license waa fully restored! Will definitely turn to him if any other legal issues arise!

Hooray! So glad that the hearing officer could see that your husband has made a 180 degree turn in his life. Also, your testimony was instrumental in our case. Thank you so much for this review. The best of life to you both going forward.

Cy exceeded expectations from start to finish.

I was unfortunate enough to find myself in trouble. I had 3 pending chargers against me, 1 felony and two misdemeanors. Cy explained the whole process from start to finish and never made me feel alone. Cy was always avaliable and told me a plan on day one. We stuck to the plan and got the result th...at we wanted. If you ever find yourself in trouble Cy should be your first call. Thank you Cy!

Thank you Kevin. This was a close call with potential to go either way but it worked out well by not pressing the panic button, being diplomatic and meeting the facts of the case head on. Appreciate you. Cy

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

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

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!

You kept a positive attitude throughout the process and did everything that we recommended to win your case! Congratulations. Cy
