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!

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.

Cy Abdo, best attorney in Clinton Twp, MI.

I chose Cy Abdo to provide me with legal defense. This was largely due to his extensive experience in Clinton Twp, MI. Cy was extremely professional throughout the ordeal, and I relied on him for his expertise in handling what I would consider a tough case. Cy was able to amend the charge which will ...be dismissed after six months of NON-REPORTING probation. This is invaluable because the charge in question was serious in nature but Cy was able to get the charge dismissed. In addition, I will not be required to report to the probation office for alcohol or drug testing. Cy had a strong presence in the court and seemed to be respected by all. He spent a great amount of time with me during my case and was professional and cared greatly about the outcome. Cy motivated the court to give me the best possible outcome for this case and I am both astonished and grateful for his help. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Cy Abdo for any legal trouble you may encounter. He truly is the best in the Clinton Twp area in MI.

Thank you Abraham for your review. I appreciate the proactive measures which you took to facilitate my request with the prosecutor. In the end, the result (reduction of the offense, 6 months non-reporting probation and a dismissal at the end) was exceptional. Glad we were able to get this case in your rear view mirror.

Everything I could have hoped for in an Attorney

I have never needed an attorney before but I work in similar circles and Cy's reputation is well known. It was his knowledge of how things worked in with the judges in the area that was able to get me the best deal possible. He was always on top of my case, eve kept me motivated to get things done ...in order to make things go as smoothly as they could. Cy was always around, always on time and more importantly always on point in the courtroom!

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.
