Recommendation

Mr. Abramson accepted my case and assured me that it was as important to him as it was to me, he always eased my worries and whenever I had a question, he was right there and provided guidance and answers. Mr. Abramson is a man of high principles and christian values, which was very important to me.... I always felt I had in Mr. Abramson a powerful ally in my corner with extensive knowledge in his field; he handled my case efficiently and with great expertise. Mr. Abramson was there for me during the entire time and I am grateful he was my "knight in shining armor". Thank you, Frank, for helping me through a very difficult time in my life and for all you have done for me.

Excellent counsel for divorce

Frank worked through 2 divorces with me. He is both an advocate and counsel and demonstrated a strong sense for how to drive both divorce processes to successful resolution without court involvement. Frank kept me well-informed throughout each and was very forthcoming with his strategy. He took th...e time to understand the motivations of the other party -- an important consideration in how to drive the case forward especially when there was some possibility that mediation would fail. I also found his billings very reasonable -- there was never an instance where I was charged for a brief follow-up.

Employment and labor lawyer | Nov 30

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I first met Frank when I needed an attorney to review my own separation agreement due to a major layoff. Frank went through the document step by step, answering each of my questions. Subsequently, I served as an Adjunct Professor at Augsburg College, teaching Business Law. Frank graciously came to my class and provided insight to the students about employment law issues. I strongly recommend Frank. He provides excellent legal advice and, given his mediation background, seeks to find ways to solve problems by seeking alternatives to litigation when appropriate."

Mediation lawyer | Nov 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I fully endorse Frank as an outstanding attorney in practice areas, including but not limited to, family law and personal injury law, as well as an excellent choice as a neutral third party mediator. I've known Frank as a close friend and colleague, and we were undergraduate and law school classmates. He is one of the most caring people I've ever known, both professionally and personally. In addition to his busy practice, he finds time for many pro bono and charitable pursuits."
