As I write this review on the 4th of July, as we celebrate our freedom we have in our independent country, it's easy to forget how quickly those rights can be taken away with a singular lapse of good judgement. That is exactly what happened to me. I made the critical error of driving after consuming. I was arrested and spent the night in jail, along with now facing serious charges of what the court system defines as 'super drunk'. Fearing what was going to happen next, I investigated the internet for some legal counsel. The thought of losing my license, the stain on my driving record, and possible jail time is not the greatest feeling in the world. Freedom and time are priceless, so I did my due diligence in seeking someone to represent me. Making the right decision was critically consequential. After hours and hours of researching, I stumbled upon Cy Abdo's services. The reviews left by his previous clients left a rather warm impression on me. After contacting and conversating with Cy about my dire situation, I knew my search was over. He assured me that he would fight for the best outcome possible. His only stipulations were that I followed his directions and did everything that was asked of me... and that I did. When it comes to my expectations in life, I always tend to stay on the low side so that I am not blindsided with disappointment but always hoping and wishing for the best. I had an idea of what my consequences would be, and I was content with those thoughts. I expected fairly harsh charges as a result of my impulsive decision but was praying to at least avoid jail time. The pretrial came, and after presenting the prosecutor with all of the work that Cy had asked of me, he had negotiated my charges down to an operating while visible impaired. When Cy gave me the news, it went completely over my head. I didn't even realize the magic this man did until I had returned home and was putting my key in the lock of the door. I thought to myself, "did he just say dropped to OWVI"? Was I hearing things? A month later at the sentencing, that was indeed the charge. I am now on probation for 180 days, with driving privileges to and from work and important appointments, along with random testing. No jail time. No devices attached to my body or car. There are no words that describe how pleased I am with the results of Cy's work. If you find this review and are on the fence about what to do or who to go to, I hope this huge epic novel of a story easily sways your decision. The most valuable thing we all have on the planet is time, and I'm grateful that I had Cy to fight for me so that I could keep a good portion of it. -BK read more

I blew a round a .20 which is considered to be the "super drunk" law, well Mr. Abdo was able to get it down to "impaired" and this wasn't my first drinking offense, but it was my first DUI. This meant that impaired was not only lower points, but also much lower fines and restrictions on license and the lowest drinking offense that you can get with a DUI. He is a VERY hardworking and knowledgeable lawyer and does all he can to make sure you get the best results. Part of my punishment was that I was on a non-reporting probation where I was not able to leave the state, but taking Matt's advice throughout the legal process, and seeing a substance abuse specialist on the side, I was able to get to leave the state for work and had the other guidelines that went with my non-reporting probation removed. Bottom line is that what you want from a lawyer is their honesty and best legal advice that you should pursue. Well I got that from him and took the advice Matt gave me and I followed it and because of that I am out of trouble so much quicker had I gone elsewhere, and he was able to save me hundreds/thousands in fines and whatnot. And mentioning earlier that I've had prior drinking crimes was no joke, those other lawyers were not able to get me what Matt could and they were nowhere close to as good as Matt was. Treated me w/ the utmost respect the whole time and is the best! Outstanding lawyer who I highly recommend to anybody looking to be represented. Thank you Mr. Matt Abdo and Cy Abdo Law Firm. read more

Cy Abdo helped our family through a major crisis when he agreed to be our lawyer. My son had been charged with a felony and a misdemeanor, and we had five days until our court date. I searched the Internet and was overwhelmed with the myriad of names, not knowing one lawyer from another. I remembered seeing an ad on the back of the yellow pages for a criminal defense law firm, and that led me to the Abdo law firm. I called Cy, and he offered me an immediate appointment for a consultation. Two hours later, he laid out a strategy for my son's defense. That was on a Friday. That next Wednesday, he met us at the courthouse and immediately got to work. The strategy he discussed with my husband and I on Friday was set into motion. And it was a winning strategy. My son's felony charge was dropped and his misdemeanor charge was reduced. My son received 12 months probation and the opportunity to have his case dismissed after the probation is completed successfully. Cy Abdo is kind, trustworthy and talented. He is an excellent attorney because he knows what to do and how to do it. If you or someone you love needs a criminal defense attorney, call Cy first. Once you meet with him, you'll know you made the right choice! read more

I highly recommend Cy Abdo because he has to be the hardest working, ethical and compassionate attorney that you can fully trust to deliver on your best possible outcome. His response time is almost immediate, and you never feel rushed. He went over and above to make sure that my case was properly filed and did a follow up after hearings to verify documents were in order .Cy has a good communication and relationship with the prosecutors and other attorneys that make him very effective and capable to negotiate so you don't have to go to trial. This is done in shortest amount of time so that you don't have to be in agony waiting for your outcome. He has a roadmap to follow and believes in getting in front of charges instead of the wait and see approach and this is by far the best strategy to employ. I had two misdemeanors ( one was dismissed, OWI reduced to impaired driving and a felony reduced to a misdemeanor with lowest possible fines. I would use him again and tell anyone to look no further than than this firm . Thank You Again Cy!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My experiences with both Cy and Matt Abdo have been nothing short of spectacular all 5 times I have worked with them. Whether representing me for a traffic ticket or possession of a controlled substance, their dedication and commitment to my cases were outstanding. Before discovering the Abdo Law firm, I dealt with other local attorneys for various problems, and I can say without a doubt, that Matt and Cy maintain a level of professionalism that is unrivaled in the Macomb County legal community. Matt and Cy are truly empathetic to their clients situations and treat you with the utmost respect the entire time you work with them. I have recommended their legal services to family, friends and coworkers and continue to do so confidently, simply because they get results. Very, very good results. read more

Ten Star Macomb Lawyer Cy goes above and beyond the call of duty for his clients. On day one, he gave me a plan and price for a first time drunk driving in Shelby Township. Getting ahold of him was always easy because he gave me his cell phone number after I retained him. I had one zoom hearing and one hearing at court. I was able to do the zoom hearing at his office and not in a remote location. When we were at court, it was obvious that he is well respected by everyone including other attorneys, judges and the court personnel. The case worked out great with a lower charge, no jail, a short period with a license restrictions and non reporting probation. A friend of mine had the same experience with Cy handling a case in Clinton Township. Thanks a million Cy and your team at your firm! read more

I've worked with Matt & Cy Abdo a number of times, as well as referred a number of relationships of mine to them too. I've never had anything short of a pleasant experience with the two of them and they've enhanced my relationship with the individuals I've referred to them. Matt & Cy have always demonstrated a high level of professionalism and their knowledge and experience with the Macomb County legal system is quite impressive. They are well established yet they are still tenacious in their pursuit of their clients' best interests. In my experiences, they were able to do this all while making me comfortable in the process. In addition to their legal acumen, Cy & Matt are phenomal guys who were a pleasure and a joy to spend time with. Couldn't recommend these guys more. read more

Such amazing lawyers. They really care about their clients. I hired them for a difficult case for my boyfriend and they were so amazing and nice to me... They worked with me financially. They quoted me more than I could afford and worked out something and I received more than half off. They are affiliated with the judges and prosecutors of macomb county and well respected. I will go to them for everything! Thanks so much and a big thanks to John, he took care of everything so well and kept in contact with me and my boyfriend who was in jail on a daily basis. He visited him the very next morning after I hired them. I'm so thankful I hired them, they are the last people I called before I gave up and I struck gold! Thanks again guys!!! read more

What a great experience working with Cy and his associates. I was looking at 8 points on my license and they were able to bring it down to 0 points and have all tickets dismissed in favor of a lesser conviction, no jail time or probation, and a small fine. 8 points would have been life-ruining and I have Abdo Law to thank for saving me time, money, and stress. They were all very knowledgeable and answered every single questions I threw their way from the very start. They comforted and calmed me during a very stressful time and helped me through it. If you're in need of a good attorney, look no further. Cy is your guy! I am amazed with the outcome and the professionalism displayed by Cy and his associates. Thank you, again! read more

Cy Abdo is an excellent attorney. I hired him to represent my son and he was very genuine and caring about our situation. I was stressed prior to meeting him and I felt 100% better about our situation after our first meeting. Cy was always informative and clear about what to expect in court. He reassured us that everything would work out and it all did! I felt comfortable putting my son's future in his hands because he is very confident and competent! Cy has a solid reputation within the legal community which was helpful because he could get us "in and out" on our court dates. I can not say enough about this man. He is worth every PENNY! My son and I are both FOREVER grateful to Cy Abdo. HIre him, you won't regret it! read more

I hired Cy Abdo to defend me in an Operating While Intoxicated Causing Death charge and I am so glad I did. This is a serious charge and Cy helped me through the process with professionalism, respect, and expertise. Cy worked so hard for me. He kept me informed every step of the way and explained things to me in a way I could understand. Having never been in trouble with the law before, he helped me navigate the system in a way that made it easier on me. He wrote a brilliant report to the sentencing judge that I am convinced helped me get a reasonable and fair sentence. I am so grateful to Cy for his help at the most difficult time of my life. I recommend him and his firm to help you too. read more

Cy Abdo was on the situation quickly, and even though I was thousands of miles away, I felt better knowing that he would negotiate the best possible outcome. This is a man with a lot of experience and he knows his way around the court room and how to advise and offer real HELP to his clients. I am totally pleased and relieved with the outcome of my case, and very grateful for all that he did for me. If you're smart, you will choose Abdo Law Firm. You will know that your case is in the best possible hands. read more

Cy Abdo deserves not just 5 stars but A ZILLION STARS He is the best!! We've hired him throughout the years with my entire family for cases and he has always always been successful in turning a bad unfortunate issue into a complete comfortable successful outcome. My son just had a case and I went with him for the visual hearing and as soon as Cy got it on and said hello to the prosecuting attorney the prosecuting attorney said oh hello Cy...the best lawyer in Macomb County and it's my pleasure. WOW that's a compliment if I ever heard one. But I already knew he was. Hire Cy and put your money only in the best hands, I guarantee you'll be glad you did!! read more

I am overwhelmed with amount of professionalism, knowledge and empathy shown by Joseph Campbell. He took my call on a Saturday! He immediately became engage.

I never once felt like he wouldn't do everything he could to help. He is committed and he cares about his clients. He saved my son's future and I will be forever grateful. Every cent was worth it!
