Cy Matthew Abdo

Macomb County is Cy’s hometown and always been the location of his law practice. In 2010, Cy’s son, Matthew, joined the practice and they formed the Abdo Law Firm. They have experienced continued momentum in acquiring clients that approve of their brand of legal services. Matthew is a lawyer that has a resolve to win their cases, naturally fit into the firm and understand the commitment to a client/consumer based business model.

Cy believes that accomplishing excellent results means working efficiently and aggressively in the earliest stages of a criminal matter. This translates into finding opportunities and angles to resolve criminal cases efficiently and productively. Cy says that there are times when he adopts a philosophy to hit hard and fast to get a client out of the criminal justice system. In other cases, the focus may to take longer strides to get an improved result or prepare for trial. Here a few of Cy’s notable case results:
