OWI/High BAC

I was refered to Cy and his law office for my OWI case. My bac was quite high. Cy and John got my case reduced to imparied driving which was a huge break considing what it could have been. Cy was very responsive with every question I had and there were quite a few. Each email or call I made was eithe...r answered immediately or very shortly after. I highly recommend hiring Cy and his team if you ever find yourself in a situation I was in. They were very professional and very knowledgeable when it came to my case.

Needing Help and not knowing where to turn

After being ticketed with an OWI and a CI violation while in the state of Michigan I decided it was time to seek out a professional for help. At the time I knew no one in the area to ask so I turned to the internet to find a lawyer. Since it was a weekend when I started entering in my case informatio...n I really wasn’t expecting to get any feedback until the following Monday. I was shocked to see that I got an email response back from ABDO law firm. After calling Mr. Abdo back and explaining what lead up to my arrest, I found him very caring and a professional. All though I was embarrassed and mortified to talk about my case with someone that I did not know he kept assuring me that they could help in this matter. Within just a few minutes I had hired a law firm to act in my behalf to represent me at my first pre-trial hearing. By this time Mr. Abdo was asking me to call him Cy and he was taking notes of everything about my case. He did ask me to send him what I had from my traffic accident and a copy of anything that I had that pertained to my case. Before the night was over, I was receiving email messages discussing what could transpire due to Michigan law and the facts of my case. It was so assuring to know that I had help in this matter. From the first phone call with Cy I was told that they would arrange to limit my return trips into Michigan since I was from out of state. By the time my trial came before the court Cy had told me that his son Matthew would be handling my case. Taking the advice of his firm and following their direction my charges were reduced down to only a CI charge against my record. I am so glad that I found the ABDO law firm to represent me. My only regret is that I never had the opportunity to actually meet Cy in person and shake his hand and personally thank him for all his hard work. I could not have found a better law firm anywhere!

Thank you. I can say that this person did everything that we asked to get his DUI reduced to a careless driving. He lived out of state and made a huge investment returning to Michigan twice to get a better deal. Fortunately, we got what we wanted.

Cy Abdo law firm ...... there is no other choice!

I recommend Cy Abdo for legal representation without reservation. Cy represented me for a repeat drunk driving offense. Not only did I receive the lowest sentence possible but Cy took me through the process step by step. Cy treated me like family. Cy is honest, well respected but most of all well v...ersed and knowledgeable in the court room. If I ever need legal representation in the future there is no doubt who I will use........ Cy Abdo

He knows the court system!

When I moved to Michigan, I was unfortunate enough to receive a D.U.I. Not being from the area, I looked into the phone book and picked out the biggest add from the yellow pages for my first lawyer. I paid him $5,000.00 to take my case. I thought he would be a great lawyer, just from the basis of whe...re his office was and how much he charged. Well, I soon learned that I was wrong. After him showing up late, lying to me, not preparing me for court, and never hearing from him again, I was hit with the worst possible fines and penalties. I felt alone and confused and was blindly stuck in the court system. That's when I found Cy Abdo. He was able to take my case and present it directly to the head of probation, have my final court date dismissed, charge me a reasonable fee, and still to this day will answer legal questions for me even though I presently reside in AZ! He's a lawyer who not only knows how the court system works, he is an honest individual who is in his profession to help people and NOT take advantage.

Highly Recommended!

Cy Abdo & Joseph Campbell were great! They took the initiative to go above and beyond in guiding me through the steps necessary to receive the best possible outcome for my case. Cy Abdo & associates were extremely knowledgable in what I should expect prior & during the court process to achieve the be...st results. With their guidance through this dark time they were able to get my charge of a Super High BAC first offense lowered to an OWVI (Operating While Visually Impaired). Which I am forever grateful for! I would highly recommend the Abdo Law firm to anyone facing similar charges. Thanks again, much appreciated! Great work!

Thank you for your review. I am glad we were able to get the prosecutor to drop the Super DUI in your case. Avoiding a Super DUI conviction is a huge accomplishment and means that you are not required to have a BAIID device installed on your vehicle for a period of 320 days. A Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device, or BAIID, is a device installed in a vehicle that measures a driver’s breath alcohol content (BrAC). To start their vehicle, users must provide the BAIID with a sample breath that is negative for alcohol. A positive test for alcohol is reported to the Secretary of State and further license suspension may be imposed. which can carry harsh criminal penalties and driver's license sanctions that include installation of a BAIID device. ABDO LAW appreciates your review.
