It’s literally 930 pm on a Sunday and this man just took his time to speak with me about my case. I just got rid of my Attoney and everything is last minute so I couldn’t afford him. But even after I told him that he looked for other attorneys that he knows are good for me to use. You don’t find that often. If I could afford you sir you’d definitely be my attorney and from here on out you’ll be the only attorney I recommend. Thanks for your time

Best lawyer on earth. I was caught selling heroin, and I was addicted too. Jay Abt found a technicality and got the case thrown out. I would have gone to prison for 10 years. Instead I went to rehab. He is the Best!

Charged 97k to my credit card while in jail for a misdemeanor . Claims no refunds since I changed attorney. Do not recommend. Ever. Also have filed a grievance with the bar about his illegal billing practices.

Best lawyer ever. Cops busted my crew with 5 kilos of meth in the back of our truck. Abt took the case to trial and got me a not guilty. Walked out on a possible 25 year prison sentence.

The cops wrongfully accused me of trafficking 20 kilos of heroin, but the drugs were not mine. Mr. Abt forced the prosecutor to dismiss the case against me. I could not be more appreciative for his hard work.

Mr. Abt and his staff are fantastic. THEY saved my brother's life. He was charged with very serious federal crimes, human trafficking, etc., and Mr. Abt hit a home run. My brother may still do a year or two in prison, but he was going to get a life sentence and Jay Abt stopped that from happening. We can never thank you enough for making our family whole again.

I hired team Abt for my son's drug trafficking charge. The whole team did a wonderful job of helping our family through a difficult time. They got my son into a drug program, made sure he did not go to prison, and even kept his record clean. Thanks to Alli, Roget, Courtney, Katie, and Mr. Jay Abt. God bless you all.

I would highly recommend hiring for legal matters!! Hands down the best law firm to hire if you want fast and favorable results. Staffed with several knowledgeable attorneys and paralegals to help you every step of the way. Thank you so much guys!

This law firm is a joke. I urge you to take your money elsewhere where a lawyer will actually work FOR you.
To the initial hearing, Abt sent an intern who had no clue what was going on. My son's case wasn't as bad since he didn't do the breathalyzer nor any other tests for his DUI arrest so he was able to have the charges reduced easily. For other of Abt's "clients" that I saw in court, not so lucky. Abt was out there trading cases with the prosecutor like Halloween candy. "You get this, and I get that" kinda thing.
In other words, no matter how much you pay him, he and the prosecutors decide which cases each one "wins". Good luck landing on his winnings because otherwise you are guilty no matter what.
Run!!!! Find a lawyer that actually fights for you!!

UPDATE: If you cared to read you'd realize that I am not upset about my son's case which by the way was easy since the cops didn't have much evidence to go by. I mentioned you trading cases with the prosecutor like candy, which you know well is true. Also, that non-intern you sent to the 1st hearing could have been an intern as well just by the inexperience and confusion.

Jay is one of the most unprofessional and rude lawyers out there. He never responds to email or phone calls swiftly. What a waste of time and money.
Wouldn't recommend.

When the FBI shows up at your front door, you get very scared, very quickly. I was under investigation, and then arrest for a sex crime. I hired Mr. Abt hoping for the best outcome, but fearing for the worst. Let me tell you this man saved my life. I am indebted forever. He is nothing short of amazing. Mr. Abt is my personal superhero !!!

Words cannot describe how Jay Abt saved my life. He played their game and he caught them in their lies. Myself and my son owe Jay Abt's law firm a great debt, and guys don't forget Allison Goldberg. .she is so smart and it meant alot for her to hold my hand in court and say "Bryan we got this" ..thank you Alli ..you and Jay are a perfect team.

Abt and his team did a fantastic job,andsaved my life. I could've gone to prison, and that is exactly what the DA asked the judge to do, send me away to prison, for years. But Jay Abt stopped that from happening. He convinced everyone I was a good person,who just made a bad mistake. I had drugs, guns, and got in a high speed chase with the cops. Abt showed them good side, and even kept all that stuff off my record. Thank you, forever.

Jay Abt saved my life. I was accused of a horrible sex crime on a minor that I did not commit, but the police were convinced because my friends son lied about me when I was baby sitting for him. Although my family had to spend a lot of money, Mr. Abt had private investigators who uncovered the truth, and the charges were eventually dismissed. We can’t thank him enough, and I will forever be grateful for his dedication to my cause.

We hired Jay Abt as our son's lawyer after he got caught selling heroin. The Abt Law team, Alli, Roget, Katie and David were tremendously helpful. They returned our calls, answered our questions, made us feel at ease, and most important, Mr. Abt kept my son out of prison, and got him into rehab.

Cops entrapped me in a sting to try to prove I was on the internet looking for underage girls. My lawyer hired a computer forensic analyst and demonstrated to the cops I could not have done it. Mr. Abt also had a former FBI agent on his staff give me a polygraph that we turned over to the police. Charges were dropped !!!

I hired JayJAbt after my former company accused me of embezzlement. They alleged I stole money through my expense account, forged payroll, and other improprieties, totalling $250k. By the end of the case Mr. Abt had them paying me!! Whoever said "crime doesn't pay" never had Jay Abt as their lawyer.

I was in Atlanta for the Super Bowl, got way too drunk and got in a fight with my wife. I broke her jaw (believe me, she deserved it). Abt saved me from prison, and I've been there before and don't want to go back. He is the best lawyer on earth.

I was a passenger in a girlfriend's car and the cops found a kilo of meth. Mr. Abt got the whole case dismissed after a big hearing, and saved me from a lot of years in jail. He is great!!!

I hired Mr. Abt after I was arrested in a sting. The cops really entrapped me into meeting up with an underage girl, and the prosecutors and police wanted me to go to prison. I had a lot of faith in Mr. Abt, and he saved me from 10 or more years in prison. My family spent a lot of money hiring him, but it was worth every dollar because I am free today due to his hard work and fantastic legal skills. He knew the judge, the prosecutor, and worked the system to save me. Thank you!!!

Jay saved my life. I was going to prison for 40 years because my other lawyer was awful. The prosecutors said I raped a child which was totally false. Then I hired Jay Abt to replace him. Jay got the case thrown out. I walked free. It was like a miracle. I am so thankful to him and his amazing staff.

Two years ago, I met Jay Abt for the first time due to being arrested. A bunch of gang members were beating up my friend, and I jumped in to stop it.

When the gang members were talking about getting guns, I knew I had to get my friend out there because he would surely die that night.

I had a work knife on me and had no other choice then to advert the gang's attention to me to get them off of my brutally beaten up friend. I stabbed one of the gang members and he almost died.

I ended up stabbing the attacker that would bring him to the ground all in the name of self defense but that did not seem to matter to the judicial system. All I knew was that I could not leave my friend behind to die. Once the gang members split up, I carried my friend away from the scene to safety.

As a result of my actions, I had some very serious charges pending against me...I was facing 40 years in prison. It was difficult to comprehend that by me helping my friend, I would surely lose the life that I knew.

We sought the legal aid of Jay Abt. Jay and his staff worked feverishly hard for me. As of this week, I am the happiest person alive to say that I am finally done. I am out on probation with no jail time involved and the case is closed. Jay Abt made sure that I have nothing on my record, and no criminal conviction. Even better, Jay Abt got the judge to reduce the amount I had to pay in medical bills to the guy who got stabbed. He had $288k in medical bills, but I only have to pay $15k of it, thanks to Jay. He saved me over $250,000 !!!

As for me, I will not be returning back to that part of town and will forever keep Jay on my speed dial.

Jay Abt saved my life. I was wrongfully accused of shooting a man in a bar fight. Mr. Abt proved that I acted in self defense, and won my jury trial. He was so great in front of the jury, and made sure they understood my side of the story. The other guy had attacked me first, with a knife, and I was just defending myself. Abt got me a not guilty, and I walked free. Bless him. He is the best lawyer you could ever dream of.

Jay Abt is an excellent attorney and was fantastic. I had an issue that looked as if it would have to go to trial and frankly did not want to go through it. Jay found a way for no jail time and no criminal record through a plea deal that would avoid a trial and other issues but I would have to accept probation. After the probation, my record would be wiped clean and the issue would be gone. I accepted and am grateful. In fact Jay and his team were all great and easy to work with. I highly recommend him and would definitely seek his expertise again if I was ever in need.

I was dating this girl, and I thought we were in love. She told me she was 20, but then I find out she is only 15. I got her pregnant and her parents called the police. I was going to go to prison for child molestation and statutory rape, but then I hired Jay Abt. He is so smart, and so great. I do not have to go to prison, I do not have a felony conviction, I don't even have to register as a sex offender, 5 years probation! Fantastic legal work !!!

I was arrested for stealing $600,000 in diamonds amd cash from the bank where I worked. It was all over the news, and they even had me on videotape.

The team is very knowledgeable, & were able to negotiate a fair/ reasonable plea in a timely manner. I am still going to be receiving help from the firm during the next few months, however i am confident in their work as it stands. After all is said and done, I will no longer have a record via a statute other than 1st offender. Referenced by a good friend, I'm glad I have proper representation for my 1st offense ever. Thanks Jay & colleagues!

They are only out to get your money. ABT will not fight for their client nor do they believe you either. It is ALL about the money $2,500 Paid in full. Then wanted another $4,000 to go to Jury trial. I was going to serve time. Jay told me. He believed what the police wrote down & not me. So, I FIRED HIM!!! Then got a Defense ATTY. Henderson. HE got EVERYTHING DROPPED. THEY HAD NO CASE....... If your Atty does NOT BELIEVE IN YOU. Then DO NOT have them represent you.

I cannot tell you how much I respect and love Jay, Katie, Allison and Mr Ware. This is long over due but definitely due. My fiance was facing several charges including probation violations in Walton county stemming from charges in Gwinnett county. The hardest part was getting through Walton County and no attorney will touch that county - They did. My fiancee was sitting in there while I combed through attorneys left and right - he has a public defender who couldnt do crap. He sat in there for months like an animal before I retained Jay and Katie. They didnt even have a court date for him. They kept sending over a "Public Defender" and the Probation officer to take a plea. He wouldn't take it. Once I retained them they was able to get him on the calendar immediately. On that day- Katie came and represented him the day of the first court appearance. I already knew what to expect. They under promised and OVER delivered. Now let me tell you- when I saw her - I was like um I dont know about this - she looks to sweet-does not look like the type that would rip results with her sweet charm but whoa buddy- she did he was facing finishing his probation in Prison for Walton county- Prosecution was firm on 5 yrs!!! By the time she was done - she got him time served credit and 2 for 1 to (3 mos jail time in county jail to serve half of that...) but here's the thing - while that was great- she told me he could prob get out sooner if he volunteers - I am also a believer in Christ and I pray- so I thanked God there in the hall way... she stood back and smiled and told me not to worry - it will be ok. And it was - my Fiance was released the same day!! This is not the norm but this is how that jail worked... if he had to do prison time - he would never had been released. The fact that she was able to fight and negotiate not like a tyrant but because of her ability to see through bull crap and negotiating skills- she got results. Regarding the Gwinnett county charge he was facing a year in prison - however- Jay got it reduced to 6 mos with some credit for time served and fines. He was sentenced and only served 3 mos. Jay and his team do not sugar coat ANYTHING!!!! I have NEVER had an issue with them not calling me back at all. In fact their Assistant Allison is very knowledgeable herself and is able to handle most concerns and issues. If I had to LVM she returns the call very timely and or responds to email as well. The only time I didnt hear from her on time was that she was out of the office and called me promptly. Even if its after normal business hours! That's the truth. They are completely personable and again they don't sugar coat anything. if you are easily offended - get thicker skin. Seriously. I also will add that I was on a payment contract with them and as long as you keep in touch with them they will not hound you- just do what you say you will do. That's it. I recognize how sincere and real they are and how they work collectively and the relationships they have with the courts is very important. That's why I continually refer them. They are not cheap - but they will work with you. I will also say- who wants a cheap lawyer when in comes to your freedom. Its about the quality not the quantity of dollars. I talked to so many attorneys before retaining them and they made different promises quoted some average prices and they just sounded sketchy. Jay told me my fees upfront when he called me from his cell on a sunday evening- He told me what he was looking at- told me what would be the headache and what he believed he could do. He was confident in what he told me. And he delivered what he said. You cannot expect fast results that is a fact- for any attorney. I'd rather someone take the time rather than speed through with horrible results. I dont EVER want to use them again because the goal is to stay out of trouble!!! But God forbid - they would be first.

My son had 2 felony charges aggravated assault and criminal attempt robbery. He was out on bond and missed 2 court dates. I fired a layer who got a plea of 20 years do 12. The initial plea Jay Abt got my son was 20 years do 7. That's 5 years better than the previous lawyer. This case has been going on for a year. Today was my son's pre-trial hearing. My Abt was phenomenal! He went to talk to my son, the prosecutor and then me. Mr. Abt ended with a plea of 15 years do 5 years. Our relationship was hard on me through it all. Mr. Abt was direct and to the point. Saying things that I did not want to hear. Not stringing me along. I love Mr. Abt for doing what he knows how to do best, he knows the law. HE HAS 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. Very knowledgeable about the law. He's your man. God bless you Mr. Abt and Mr. Ware, a part of his team, and you have made our family happy, my son gets to come home soon to his wife, son, daughter and his mother, other family and friends. Take care of yourself and if you every need a Masters prepared Registered Nurse, I'm your lady!
