Knowledgeable and professional

Knowledgeable and professional I filed an inquiry on avvo, and received the attorney’s response within an hour. Mr. Abrams is very knowledgably and professional. All of his answers are right to the point. Really appreciate you, Mr. Abrams.

Ethical! Knowledgeable! savior!

Dan was introduced by my attorney in CA, to handle a lawsuit in NYC. I couldn’t be happier with him, as a lawyer and a person! Of course he won the case, but most of all he was extremely knowledgeable in ever area with my case, and won every motion on my behalf. He was also very reasonablly priced a...nd I didn’t feel he ever took advantage. I would recommend him in NYC over ever other attorney I worked with over the years. Although I hope to have no further disputes if I ever have another issue he will be my first call. Thank you very much!

Quintessential Legal Representation

I am fortunate to have met Dan Abrams to represent me in several difficult legal situations. Litigation is never fun. Dan's professionalism, sound advice, truthfulness, as well as his exceptional ethics put my concerns at ease. There are many attorneys to choose from but not many that can compete ...with Dan's outstanding attorney skills and utmost professionalism. Dan truly defines what an attorney should aspire to be. I highly recommend Dan without any reservation.

Did A Great Job

Dan did a wonderful job for me in a very difficult and complex situation, and kept costs to a minimum. Dealing with pathological people is never easy, but Dan kept his cool, and negotiated the best deal possible. He was communicative, cooperative, worked well with other lawyers, and got things done. ...In hindsight, maybe there were one or two things I would have done differently, but that's based on things Dan had no way of knowing at the time. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
