What We Do For Our Valued Clients

Criminal defense attorney, E. Jay Abt, will do much more than simply hold your hand and walk you through the criminal justice system. Here is an example of the services this amazing lawyer will provide:

  • Negotiate "deals" with prosecutors. We often arranging for your case to be dismissed, sealed, or reduced charges for lesser sentencing (by contrast, prosecutors may be uncooperative with self-represented defendants).
  • Provide clients with knowledgeable, objective perspective on their situation — and what is likely to happen — should their cases go to trial. This perspective is vital for defendants trying to decide whether to accept a prosecutor's offered "plea bargain" or whether there is a realistic chance of convincing a jury to return a verdict of "NOT GUILTY".
  • Help clients cope with the feelings of fear, embarrassment and reduced self-esteem that criminal charges tend to produce in many people.
  • Bring familiarity with local court procedures, prosecutors and judges. Mr. Abt's relationships with the judges and prosecutors that he is in front of every day will give your case the backing of ten (10) years worth of legal experience. Mr. Abt has been in the legal community for a long time, and his relationship will prove invaluable in getting his clients the best possible results.
  • Manage the legal complexities that come with every unique case. Mr. Abt is often able to have cases dismissed because he is able to use loopholes in the law and punch those into the prosecution's case, showing the Judge that evidence against his clients may not be used in Court. Theses legal technicalities are invaluable in providing clients with the best defense the law can allow.

There is no substitute for hard work. Many attorneys choose not to get involved in a criminal case until their client has been formally charged with a crime. ABT LAW FIRM, LLC has a philosophy that is just the opposite. Our experience has proven that there is no substitute for early intervention which gives us a "head start" on the prosecution - allowing more time to conduct investigations, interview witnesses and research all legal options. Being proactive in a criminal case can often make the difference between facing misdemeanor or felony charges, or whether any charges are filed at all.

We can usually (with predictable results) intervene before charges are actually filed. This proactive approach can prevent you from being charged, exposed and/or embarrassed. If already arrested we can (depending on your specific circumstances) help you get out of jail with a bail reduction or an O.R. release. We may also be able to assist in reducing penalties, fines, jail time, terms of probation and can even request alternatives to probation, as well as petition to clear your record.
