Attorney Jay Abom was the "Man" to call when my son got into trouble and needed help with many legal issues. We needed a good defense attorney at our side and on our team. Jay was that "Man" !!! My son had numerous STATE and FEDERAL charges and that while it was a COMPLEX set of issues--Jay Abom became "The Captain of the Ship" so to speak!! He was able to reign in the State and Federal charges making every thing more manageable for my son's Defense. This took a lot of coordination on Jay's part. Resulting in an outcome we hoped and prayed for!!! Jay Abom was able to secure very good results for us and we are very grateful. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone in trouble with the law!!! He is a great lawyer and a caring man. So glad we made the call.

Mr. Abom provided excellent service. Because of him, the outcome of my legal case was far better than I had hoped for. He succeeded in getting one of the major charges against me dismissed, and worked on my behalf to get very favorable terms of sentencing. He and his staff were always prompt in responding to my phone calls and emails. He always answered my questions and provided understandable explanations throughout.

I found Attorney Abom to be not only knowledgeable off the law and legal system, but also always courteous and most importantly sensitive to my individual circumstances as he guided me through the court process.

John Abom is an excellent defense attorney. With my case, he educated me on certain aspects of the law that helped to win my court case. He had a creative legal solution to every problem that was thrown our way. What impressed me most was his willingness to listen to his clients and even implement suggestions from his clients. I am very grateful that he was my lawyer on my case. Without John Abom, my life would have been ruined.

My family is so very grateful for Mr. Abom. My husband was looking at a very long prison sentence but Mr. Abom turned it around and challenged the search warrant and my husband got a fraction of what he would have gotten. I can’t express how thankful we are.

Mr. Abom took the time to literally squeeze an appointment in to his very busy schedule today and meet with my wife and I on what we would consider an emergency situation. He did not know us beforehand. We were not clients of his firm, but rather complete strangers in need of legal counsel. He was very knowledgeable, straightforward, and kind.

I hired Jay Abom over 2 years ago concerning a Federal IRS case. Jay carefully explained the legal process and all my concerns with professionalism and caring. I appreciated that he always promptly returned my phone calls or addressed any requests I had. His staff mirrored that same professionalism each time I contacted his office. Hiring an attorney can be very expensive but I believe that the cost associated with my case was more than fair as Jay did an excellent job and helped me greatly through a very difficult time in my life. I am very grateful for his help and would gladly recommend Jay for any legal concern you may be experiencing.

No words will ever express my gratitude toward John Abom, and team. John assisted me during one of the hardest times of my life. My sister had terminal cancer and John helped us secure Power of Attorney and her Last Will and Testament. He made an extremely difficult situation more bearable. John went out of his way to accommodate my circumstances. He was compassionate, understanding, professional and acted with the highest integrity. I cannot imagine seeking legal assistance from anyone else. Thank you, John, I'm eternally grateful!
