I contacted Mr. Abney regarding sexual harassment that I had experienced in my workplace. I was nervous and uncomfortable anticipating talking about my unfortunate experience. However, when consulting with Mr. Abney, I found him to be very compassionate and understanding of my situation. I felt very confident that I had found an excellent attorney for my case. I never doubted his knowledge or competency during the process. He was always available for any of my questions or concerns. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and very highly recommend Mr. Abney.

Immediately upon meeting with Stewart, I was sure that I had made the right decision. He was confident, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. At a time when I was overwhelmed and completely unsure, it was comforting to know that Stewart was taking care of everything. He kept me up to date on my case at all times and was always available to answer any questions that I had. It was very apparent that he did his research in my case. He paid great attention to detail and made it very clear that he would work to ensure that my voice was heard- and he did. While the circumstances were unfortunate, I am happy to have worked with such a genuine person who also happens to be an excellent attorney.

A good friend of mine recommended that I contact Mr. Abney to review an employment contract that had recently been presented to me. I had never before dealt with this type of contract so naturally I was very anxious about the whole situation. I met with Mr. Abney and he quickly put my mind at ease. On my first visit, Mr. Abney thoughtfully listened to all of my concerns and then clearly explained all the numerous ways he could be of assistance in dealing with the employment contract. After our initial conversation, I felt completely confident that Mr. Abney would handle all of my concerns regarding the contract efficiently and (most importantly) competently so I hired him. Within a week, Mr. Abney came back to me with a complete review of the contract. He laid out the positives and the negatives and took the time to answer each one of my questions. I was impressed by his knowledge and his experience. Mr. Abney drew upon his vast experience to put my contract into the context of current employment practices which greatly assuaged my trepidations. I cannot recommend Mr. Abney enough. I sincerely promise that it will be worth the time and the effort to contact him about what he can do for you. I know that I would have nobody else represent myself or my family.

I had a wonderful experience working with Paul Stewart Abney. He was very attentive and was only an e-mail or phone call away whenever I had any questions, big or small, day or night. He was very empathetic to my situation and never made me feel low for wanting to go through with my suit against my employer. Very supportive and hardworking and got my case settled super fast! I would recommend him to anyone going through what I went through and if I ever have the need for an attorney, I will be giving his office a call.

Mr. Abney sat and listened completely to my story. He then told me that he believed me and was going to get justice for the acts of violence and failed protection from my company to protect me. He and Jerimiah were very knowledgeable and fearless. They comforted me and lead me through one of the darkest times of my life. I will forever be grateful for their support during this very difficult time in my life.

Mr Abney could not help me with my issue. But he took the time to talk to me, hear me out, and then guide me in the right direction. -all on a blind phone call. Thank you again Mr. Abney

Mr. Abney was very helpful as this was my first time to hire a lawyer. He was very easy to talk to, knowledgeable about the kind of case I had and responded to emails in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend him.

Mr. Abney helped me out of a very unfair situation at work. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place and he was able to find a path out for me. A path that I never would have known was there without his help. My only regret is not calling him sooner. He was referred to me through a friend of mine who I confided in and knew what I was going through. Mr. Abney always "kept me in the loop" and never missed a call that he said he would make to me. I feel he always had my best interest at hand. Now, I am employed at another company and could not be happier. I would recommend him to anyone, especially some of my former co-workers.
