Dear Abbi,
LN and I want to express our deep appreciation for your efforts in acquiring parolefor our son DN. His incarceration was an arduous situation. However, having your expert assistance to navigate the process and negotiate on DN’s behalf certainly gave some balance in the area far beyond our capacity.
Thank you for the advice, direction and leading us through this journey. We are grateful to have his release from prison, knowing what is ahead remains difficult. But with your facilitation we are on a pathway toward renewal.
With a sincere thankfulness,
GN
Over the years, we have had the honor of defending hundreds of clients in court and parole hearings. Here are just a few things they have to say about us.
I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for all the hard work and dedication you put into my case. Your expertise, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me did not go unnoticed. You truly are the best lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Thank you for always going above and beyond to ensure that my legal needs were met. Your exceptional skills and knowledge of the law have made a significant impact on my life, and I am forever grateful for everything you have done for me. I am so fortunate to have you on my side, and I will always recommend you to anyone in need of a super lawyer like yourself. Thank you once again for all that you do.
I initially emailed her the timeline & details of my son's case. During our consultation, she developed a strategy that was ABSOLUTELY SUCCESSFUL. First, a motion to modify his sentence was filed and we prevailed. (It IS who you know!) Next, a petition for parole was filed, & again, we prevailed. (May I say again, it IS who you know?) My son, with a 10 year sentence, facing 78 months minimum in prison, was home after 16 months. Abbi Taylor and Linda Cornwall did that. I did the collection of information, the gathering of data, the scut work. Abbi executed flawlessly.
Abbi is an amazing lawyer. We hired her for my dad’s parole/probation case. Abbi’s results exceeded our family’s expectations. Seeing her in action in the courtroom was inspiring. In addition, her office staff is extremely professional and responsive. Thank you, Abbi and Linda.
If I could rate Abbi Taylor 100 stars I would. Thank you Abbi Taylor and your staff for your professionalism, hard work and legal expertise in representing me. Your successful results with my being granted early parole was beyond all my expectations. I am thrilled and so grateful to be back home with my family and much earlier than I ever could have hoped for.
I originally retained Abbi to represent me before the State Board of Pardons and Parole and help me obtain an early parole date for a level 8 criminal conviction. While the Parole Board's guidelines for my crime required me to serve at least 65% of my sentence, the Parole Board granted me parole approximately 6 months early. I attribute this to the unwavering support of my family and Abbi's considerable efforts.
I just wanted to say thank you for taking my brother's case. I thank you for being meticulous about his paperwork. I thank you for partaking in his freedom. Words can't express how happy the family is. Thank you once again.
I came to Ms Taylor thinking that my criminal background was destroyed. I'm a responsible adult that made a bad decision at a very emotional time in my life. This lady has a great interaction with her clients. I was able to feel free to express what and why I needed her services. Sharp doesn't begin to describe her. I will never forget that she was sent by God to help me. You can not go wrong with Ms Taylor.
Abbi knows her stuff, is patient, thorough and compassionate. She took the time to explain the parole process in detail and provided support before, during and after the decision. I am very happy with the outcome but also the professionalism and responsiveness from Abbi and Linda. I highly recommend this firm!
I can not speak more highly of Abbi and her abilities. I was finding myself very quickly in a quicksand situation and she was able to help come in to provide guidance, clarity and manage the situation. If you find yourself in a situation that you think even for a second might need some legal advice - please do not think to call anyone else but Abbi.
Abbi is knowledgeable, thorough, detail oriented and extremely competent. The number one complaint about lawyers is that they fail to communicate with clients about what is going on. That is not the case with Abbi. To the contrary, she is truly proactive in the management of her cases and her responsiveness is always timely. They say that the difference between a good lawyer and a great lawyer is that a good lawyer knows the law while a great lawyer knows the judge. Well Abbi checks both of those boxes! She is an outstanding attorney.
After meeting Abbi and her assistant Linda l was convinced she would be the one to handle my request for a Pardon. It was a very old case involving a serious felony conviction. Abbi was very specific in what to expect. I think most of all l trusted her. Thanks to Abbi l was successful and obtained my Pardon. I have the highest gratitude and respect for her. I would recommend her without question.
Abbi Taylor is simply the best. While taking a forensic look at my case, finding what I knew she would, Ms. Taylor also cautioned me about the expense and risk. A great Counselor, just bring her the problem (be honest about every detail) and the results will speak for themselves. However, it is also true, behind every great attorney, is a great partner. There is ABSOLUTELY no greater individual in the legal field than Ms. Cornwall. When you look up the work professional, a picture of this dynamic duo will appear. Do your self a favor and place your mind at ease, if you need legal advice - stop looking and call this firm.
After meeting with Abbi for a consultation for my son I felt very confident that her knowledge and experience made her the attorney to handle his case. I was pleased with her direct and honest appraisal of the case. Linda was quick to respond to questions and kept me updated. The case was handled with integrity and compassion and I am very pleased with the result.
Abbi Taylor is one of the best lawyers in Atlanta. I hired Abbi because I was having problems renewing my expired green card. I had got into some legal problems with the law and it was hard to renew my green card, but first Abbi took a look at all my previous charges and told me which one was the problem. Second Abbi told me that she can sit down with the judge and the prosecutor of that charge and persuade them to clarify the sentence so that I wouldn't have problems with immigration. She did what she said she will and today I have a new green card and no problems with immigration.
The chemistry at the law office of Abbi Taylor was amazing. There was constant communication and advisement that made the whole experience pleasant and rewarding. Ms.Taylor was very honest and straightforward about the parole process and the steps involved before and after my hearing. I stand before you today a free man because of Ms. Taylor's efforts. I was not even eligible for parole until next year. I highly recommend her above all others.
Abbi is not only an outstanding lawyer, but also a very caring person. I reached out to her after an incident that happened to me and I needed help. She invited me to her office for a free consultation, having already made research on what my issue was so she can be as time efficient as possible. It only took a couple of months for her to completely close my case. She went beyond what was expected in any way possible. Abbi Taylor brought back the positivity and happiness in my life!
I approached Abbi by email to assist me with restriction of my record (I had no idea how to go about it myself). She responded almost immediately and said she could indeed help me out. She then proactively contacted the solicitors office, relayed my case to them and was able to get their agreement to restrict my record. Abbi promised to stay in touch with me and keep me updated. Only a few days later I heard back from her with some great news -- my record was expunged/ restricted. I couldn't be any more thankful to Abbi for her responsiveness, kindness, and, most importantly, effectiveness. Thank you!
It would take me pages to explain the type of person/lawyer Abbi is... What did she do for me: got me out of prison 1 1/2 years ahead of my projected release and also obtained the best possible result of a probation violation.Without a doubt this is the lady you want to represent you in any judicial proceeding. She takes a personal interest in your case, will keep you "up to date" with her strategy and care about you as a person and not just someone paying her fees.
It was an honor to have Ms. Taylor help us on the case. My family depended on the result of this case to be able to stay in the US, therefore it was critical to find the best attorney who we can trust and depend on. Ms. Taylor and her team know what they are doing, always on top of everything, put us in touch with the right people and resources to help resolve the issue. She is very experienced in the court system, and has a great presence in court. We feel extremely happy to have the best attorney by our side, and we are so grateful to her for winning the case.
Abbi is outstanding in this field. I had a very difficult case that most attorneys could not resolve. From our first meeting, I can tell that she is a very capable attorney, highly experienced in the courts - this is the person I can trust. In the short amount of time I had prior to my court date, Abbi formed a solid strategy. When we went to court together, I was impressed by her confidence and grounded presence. She convinced the judge to dismiss my case, which other attorneys thought was impossible. For anyone who needs legal help, Abbi is the one!
Ms. Abbi Taylor and her assistant Linda were angels used by The Lord to deliver me from the hands of darkness. Even before I met them in person, I could sense and feel their compassion and understanding of me and my case, which meant a lot to me. They were very attentive, informative, receptive and tactful all the way. They are prompt , aggressive and AWESOME. GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO. I will recommend them to anyone in search of true justice.
When my son's defense attorney suggested we hire a parole attorney I thought, "Parole attorney? What is a parole attorney and why would I need one? The DOC website explains the parole process, right?" Wrong!! Abbi's expertise, knowledge and connections are essential to traversing the prison system, parole and probation, PIC points, DRs (discipline reports), transition centers, prison transfers, etc. Try navigating all these intricate and intimidating "minefields" on your own! So, yes, you need a parole attorney and Abbi Taylor is the best! She is kind, empathetic, vastly experienced, and best of all, genuinely caring. She has never failed to provide guidance and she "gets the job done," no matter what the issue may be. Do yourself and your loved one a huge favor and hire Abbi Taylor to make your journey through the judicial system quagmire as bearable as it can be. She is called the Parole Goddess® for a reason!!
Dear Ms. Taylor,
The work you have done in my life has been nothing short of a miracle. I know I have said it before, but I want to say it at least once more again ... thank you for a job well done! It is because of your work in the last so many years that I have become the success I am today.
Helping our clients achieve positive results in the courtroom would not be possible without creating strong professional relationships with other attorneys. See what other lawyers have to say about our firm.
I have worked with Abbi Taylor on several criminal cases over the past 17 years. She exhibits tremendous legal knowledge and a zealous devotion to her clients. I have also referred numerous clients to her over the years and all have thanked me for referring them to such a diligent and skilled lawyer. She is an excellent litigator and has no fear of trying tough cases and produces great results. I endorse this lawyer’s work.
I have worked with Abbi on several cases and found her to be an excellent attorney. She is able to get cases dismissed prior to trial like no one else. Her professionalism, competence, and preparedness are unmatched. If I were charged with a crime, I would call Abbi.
Abbi is a brilliant attorney. She has a diverse practice which makes her very unique because she has so much knowledge about many sides of the law. I would have no hesitation in referring a case to her!
I have known Abbi for 12 years or more now and I have a couple of opportunities each year to hear about her work and see how much she is respected by the best of the best throughout the state of Georgia. I am proud to experience her integrity in and out of the courtroom and knowledge of law. You cannot go wrong in following her recommendations…hey, many lawyers do!
Abbi is an intelligent and passionate attorney. She zealously advocates for her clients and consistently gets excellent results for all of her clients. I have even had the pleasure of hearing Abbi speak at a seminar. I highly endorse Abbi as an attorney.
Abbi is a great advocate for her clients in the courtroom. In addition, she has developed an expertise in post conviction relief. If people contact me with a loved one who has been convicted and is seeking to get that person out of prison, Abbi is where I send them. She has tremendous compassion and a great work ethic. She will be honest with potential clients and inform them of the chances of success. I think the world of Abbi and would not hesitate to hire her.
Abbi is an amazing, well respected and hardworking lawyer in the community. I do not know of one lawyer that has encountered her who would share any other experience. She puts every effort into resolving the case the best way possible for her clients under all circumstances and is never afraid to fight for her client’s rights. Look no further for an excellent attorney.
Abbi and I first met outside a courtroom in 1992 where her client had just been sentenced to serve what she considered to be an undeserved period of confinement. Abbi was in tears. Her commitment to her client was evident in her actions, and her compassion for the underdog is clear. That was many years ago. Abbi’s ability to convince courts, even the appellate courts, of the substance of her position is unmatched. She is a good judge, a good lawyer and a good friend. You can’t get a better combination.
I refer many of my immigration clients who have criminal issues to Abbi. She can work wonders when it comes to eliminating some of the unintended immigration consequences of a criminal conviction. Whether it is modifying or clarifying a sentence to avoid an immigration bar or vacating a conviction entirely, Abbi knows how to get it done. If you are a non-citizen facing a criminal charge, you need to know that not every criminal attorney understands the complex interplay between criminal and immigration law. You need an attorney like Abbi!
Please allow me to add my name to the list of immigration attorneys to honor and endorse Abbi’s work. She is a phenomenal post-conviction relief attorney. Not only is Abbi a wonderful criminal defense attorney she has also developed quite a reputation for being able to reopen past criminal convictions for non-citizens and get them appropriately reworded or dismissed so that the foreign national is no longer deportable. She is one of the very, very few criminal defense attorneys that I am confident to refer clients to for complex post-conviction relief here in Georgia.
I endorse this lawyer’s work, because some of my former clients have benefited from her expertise. True – Abbi can try a case with the best of them, but her success in habeas corpus and parole proceedings is unmatched. Whenever anyone anywhere in Georgia needs post-conviction relief, I give them one name, and that is Abbi Taylor. She is the best.
When my son's defense attorney suggested we hire a parole attorney I thought, "Parole attorney? What is a parole attorney and why would I need one? The DOC website explains the parole process, right?" Wrong!! Abbi's expertise, knowledge and connections are essential to traversing the prison system, parole and probation, PIC points, DRs (discipline reports), transition centers, prison transfers, etc. Try navigating all these intricate and intimidating "minefields" on your own!

Abbi is one of the top criminal attorneys I have worked with. She is also one of the few criminal attorneys that can navigate the complex structure of combining both criminal and immigration laws. It is so critical to a criminal lawyer to know immigration laws when dealing with immigrants, otherwise criminal convictions might render the person deported, even in small misdemeanor cases when the person believes they were sentenced to only probation. This area is not familiar to most criminal lawyers. We have worked on many cases together, and I can therefore appreciate first-hand her legal expertise. In sum, I fully endorse Abbi as I believe she is an excellent lawyer.
Over the years, the firm has had many victories, large and small. Here are some examples which made the news, and some that should have.
In State v. Edukuye, Ms. Taylor was able to convince the medical examiner to change the manner of death from homicide to natural causes and the murder charge and all other charges against Ms. Edukuye were dropped. Defense attorneys turned over records they’d dug up which the medical examiner had not seen.
In Rollins v. State, a woman whose case was dismissed under the First Offenders Act found out that immigration considers her pleas as a conviction and subjected her to deportation proceedings. We were able to vacate her plea and the District Attorney dismissed the charges, paving the way for her to become a citizen.

The client was charged with over 30 counts including rape, aggravated child molestation and child pornography. Through our investigation we were able to prove that the allegations were created by the mother of the children (they were in the middle of a bitter divorce) and the therapist. After 2 ½ years of fighting the case, the judge agreed with us and dismissed the charges in the middle of the trial.

Originally, another lawyer had tried to challenge our client's conviction and the judge had denied his motion. The client convinced us to try for him, understanding that we felt we had little chance of success. He had two domestic violence convictions, either of which were deportable offenses. We were able to convince the solicitor and the judge to reconsider and obtained the relief the client needed.
Many people are receiving letters that their driver’s licenses are being canceled due to having had a license in a another name years ago. We have been able to persuade the investigators to not take out criminal charges (felony or misdemeanor) and to clear the licenses.
Prior to retaining our law firm, our client was taken into ICE custody a week after meeting with us. His family was out of state, but we were able to get him relief in record time since he was already ordered deported. He was released the day after we got the order signed and all immigration proceedings were dropped.
Both brothers were arrested for DUI. The first brother was stopped at a roadblock and was arrested. He called his brother to come and get his car. His brother had been drinking prior to going to sleep. He was arrested when he arrived to get the car. We were able to get the charges reduced to Reckless Driving for both, saving their driver’s licenses and all of the consequences of having a DUI conviction on their record for the rest of their lives.
Our client was in ICE custody due to an old conviction for graffiti on a retaining wall when he was a teenager. When we investigated the case, we found that he had pled guilty when he was only 16 and the Court did not have jurisdiction over his case. We were able to convince the District Attorney and the Judge to vacate the conviction and dismiss the charges. He was released in time for the birth of his little girl.
