Better call Cy!

I didn't know who to turn to for legal counsel as I live out of state. After some research, I called Cy ABDO of ABDO Law firm, and I'm so glad I did! Cy called me back very quickly, and actually listened to me , and after hearing his advice and plan of action, I hung up the phone feeliing relieved. ... My case turned out far better than I could have ever expected, and he was helpful and reassuring all the way through to it's completion. Cy is an experienced and excellent attorney who knows his way around the courtroom. I was totally impressed and pleased with his knowledge and expertise. If you're smart, you will call Cy Abdo. I am so grateful to him, and so glad that he took my case. WONDERFUL RESOLUTION, I am thrilled! S

We know that out-of-state clients have special concerns which differ from our local clients. These concerns relate to logistics, travel expenses and hiring a lawyer that they have never met. On our end, we use our legal resources and networking to save our clients from traveling to Michigan whenever possible or try to consolidate court dates. By negotiating early in the case, communicating with the court system and keeping our out-of-state clients well informed, we are usually able to obtain an excellent result. Thank you for the review!

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.

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.

Professional. Interested. Dedicated.

Professional. Interested. ...and dedicated. People are fortunate if they're able to find an attorney with one of those attributes, however, if you call, Cy Abdo, will find all three. Whatever our needs, especially when we were most upset, we could call Cy. He would listen to us, answer our questions..., and address our concerns. We've used his services for all our legal needs and we would, truly, recommend him!

Very satisfied experience

I can say that Cy and Matt did an good job handling my case. At the first meeting, they explained everything that could be done and all of my options in a way that I understood. I talked to other lawyers and It was hard to get straight answers so I have a way to compare the services which I received.... I have called the office after my case was done and they take my calls without sending me a bill for every little thing. They weren't the lowest priced lawyers but told me the total fee in the beginning and didn't ask for any other fees. I liked the flat fee agreement because I don't like surprises and heard horror stories about other lawyers billing practices. I would recommend this firm.
