Abe utilized the limited license to its full extent by working at the Fayette County Commonwealth’s Attorney office. During this time, he prosecuted a felony trial and argued several evidentiary hearings on behalf of the Commonwealth – all while still in law school. As a result of this experience, Abe has intimate knowledge of how prosecutors and law enforcement officers will develop and prosecute your criminal case.Abe began his legal career as a Staff Attorney for the Fayette Circuit Court Judge Kimberly Bunnell. In this capacity, he gained invaluable insight of the inner workings of a complicated court system.

In 2019, Abe was awarded the Clarence Darrow Prodigy Award by the Kentucky Associate of Criminal Defense Lawyers.Abe takes great pride in knowing that his clients put their trust in him to get results. He gives every client his cell phone number because emergencies don’t only happen between 8:30am-5:00pm. By giving each case individualized attention and focusing on the details, Abe can be proactive and aggressive in fighting for his client’s rights.Abe is a former “Big” brother and currently serves on the Board of Directors of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Bluegrass.

Abe Mashni was a beacon of hope for my family during a rough time in of lives, at a time when our outcome appeared grim. He went above and beyond in the representation of my son and I appreciate all of his time and effort. Abe provided legal advice and representation during a difficult time. I found him to be experienced, knowledgeable and honest and I would recommend him and the firm 100% to anyone.

Abe mashni has been my lawyer on multiple occasions , and he is two for two with dismissals on criminal cases of mine . Abe also works my family court cases and I can’t even describe the incredible work he has done for me. Court is not a comfortable place to be , and can be very stressful and nerve racking. Abe and his knowledge of the process and the law always put me at ease and made me feel like I had somebody who, genuinely cared about me and wanted the best for me , and had my back the entire process . Abe mashnie was the voice for me when nobody would listen , and is respected by the judges and his peers in the law community,which definitely goes a long way with getting the outcome that is best for his clients. I never would put my freedom in the hands of another attorney, I will always go with Abe Mashni and his firm whenever I’m in need of an attorney , or even just some legal advice. I recommend him a million times over.

Abe Mashni is simply one of the best attorney's in Lexington. He was absolutely phenomenal and very intelligent and I would definitely wouldn't think twice before recommending her services to anyone else. He is selfless, compassionate and goes above and beyond his expectation to obtain the best possible result.

Mr. Mashni was very knowledgeable, helpful, and reassuring during a very difficult time in our lives. He helped to guide us through a situation that we had no previous experience with and we will be forever grateful! I would highly recommend Mr. Mashni to anyone! He gave us hope in what felt like a hopeless situation.

Abe did an excellent job, provided his cell, took my calls anytime & was very reasonable. He was thorough explaining all aspects of the case, knew all the details & is very smart.

Abe Mashni done the best job he could possibly do. He got me a verdict of NOT GUILTY!!!!!! What more can you ask for??? After 7 months of going to court he got the job done. He made sure that he had a comeback for any and everything that was thrown at us!!! He is a very committed and caring lawyer, and he will be the first person I call if I ever need a lawyer again!!!!! Thank you so much Abe Mashni!!!!!

I hired Mr. Abe mashni for 2 case's I had. I'm ashamed to say but one was for domestic violence and the other was for driving on suspended license. I dont know how he done it but he got the domestic violence dismissed. I was guilty but he worked he's magic and got it thrown out of court. And needless to say he got my license back for me. I have been in trouble before and had to retain lawyer's but Abe is by far the best lawyer I have ever hired. He cares about he's client's. Hes always there to take your no matter what time it is. If you need a great attorney then hire ABE MASHNI!!!! Money well spent!!!

Abe Mashni was my lawyer for my current court case and I would definitely choose him again or refer him to a friend. Mr. Mashni is everything you think of when you think of an ideal attorney. He is very well spoken, intelligent, knows how to get the job done and presents himself very well. I like how well he prepared me to go in front of the judge and court room. I also like how it felt like he had my back and was truly there to defend me. Mr. Mashni is an incredible lawyer.

I obtained Abe Mashni after he was highly recommended to me from a respected attorney out of Stanton, Ky. I'm very grateful for that referral. Abe made me feel at ease through a very stressful time. I was facing some very severe accusations. When I first meet Abe I could tell he really cared about my situation and justice being served. Abe not only stood to defend my rights but was passionate about the right thing being done in my case. Abe was very calm and confident through the entire process. Which helped calm my anxiety. After my case was over Abe went above and beyond for me by following through on other pending legal actions against me until they was resolved. I will not hesitate to refer my family, friends and loved ones to Abe in the future should they need to seek legal representation. Abe, Thank you for everything you did for me and my family!
