Jeremy represented me in a recent legal matter. I was impressed with his professionalism not only with me, but also with opposing counsel. Even when our adversary combative, Jeramy remained in control emotionally and professionally, and was successfully able to lay out our case to the judge. I would recommend Jeremy to my family and friends.

Mr. Abay helped me with a litigious matter that I felt lost in. His depth of knowledge and understanding of the law, in addition to his ability to explain it, is unsurpassed. His track record of success speaks for itself. His communication and timeliness speaks volumes towards his character as a lawyer. I’d recommend Mr. Abay to my family and closest friends without hesitation.

Jeremy became my attorney when the previous one with whom I was working was no longer handling my case. Switching attorneys while a case is ongoing is unsettling to say the least; but in no time at all, Jeremy put any fear I had to rest. In fact, it was clear that he was going to run circles around my previous attorney. He was quick to action and explained everything that was happening as we moved along. I was never in the dark, and there was no question he didn't answer. He is knowledgeable and patient and an excellent communicator. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. I highly recommend Jeremy Abay and would surely work with him again in the future.

Being from out of state, I was recommend to Jeremy from a friend for an issue: Jeremy Abay was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a quick satisfactory resolution at a reasonable cost seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was he able to successfully defend us from an unjust accusation without having to sacrifice my reputation from a past employer with deep pockets in the community, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and help to always curb expectations and outcomes of actions we took on each step of the process. My family and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Jeremy Abay without reservation when dealing with a employee vs employer issue.

During my first meeting with Jeremy Abay, I instantly felt acknowledged. Upon learning of the firm's & Mr. Abay's successes, I was truly astounded by his understanding & interest in wanting to "fight" for my son and me. Our case was very serious and involved measures of which I'd never imagined, therefore, I was extremely nervous. Jeremy stood by me every step of the way, eased my tensions and ensured that I was in great hands. Jeremy maintained contact with me throughout and if I did happen to have any questions, Mr. Abay always replied to me in less than half an hour (and that's awesome for a busy attorney). In a nutshell, Jeremy Abay is a no-nonsense, go-getter, thorough, "pit bull" (compliment intended), client-compassionste, class act lawyer, hands down. In closing, Jeremy extended stellar respect towards me and that personally, carries more weight for me than his WIN for my son's & my case. SDS

Jeremy is knowledgable and puts his client's interests first. He initially advised me on how I could represent myself so as to maximize my portion of the settlement, and then represented me at a very fair fee when I realized that was the route I wanted to go. Working with Jeremy was a pleasure and I recommend his services strongly.
