Amazing!

I am very thankful I went with this law firm. Right from the beginning- Marcela, the process- Courtney and Navid, were with me throughout. They have the human touch and so down to Earth where they will try to understand your situation as best as possible and will give you the best possible outcome. I... was going through a bad time with my employer, but they aided me with guidance, feedback, comfort, information, and direction as to how to properly proceed. They are just an amazing team to work with, and they answer my calls, they get back to me if they are unable to in a prompt manner, and they responded to all my questions, comments, and concerns. They will give you the service that will may a remarkable impact with team & individual interaction, communication, mutual understanding, and results-driven! So go to them whenever you need help with employment law issues.

Their strategic approach ensured that my interests were protected every step of the way. Navid, Courtney, and Natalie were so communicative ensuring that I was kept informed and involved throughout the process, providing peace of mind during a stressful time. They made me feel more like a person than a number. Navid is definitely an amazing lawyer who is not afraid to go the extra mile for you if needed. Thanks to JS Abrams Law and their team I achieved a favorable outcome that far surpassed what I could have hoped for. I wholeheartedly recommend Navid to anyone seeking expert representation in employment matters.

They were always accessible, which greatly reassured me during what could have been a stressful time. Overall, I was extremely satisfied with the services provided by the employee law lawyer I worked with. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to my case were exemplary.

Had a stroke, one week after returning I was fired

Xmas day 2022 suffered a stroke, was out of work for a month, I was fired 1 week after returning, told that my position was eliminated. I was 55 at the time and having a very difficult time finding work , exhausted EDD, had to start getting food stamps and shortly after was an eviction. They were a...ble to give me a free settlement loan that helped more than you can imagine. Wasn't sure if I had any chance since I had no documentation, emails, proof that I was fired due to my stroke. So I contacted a law firm who was not sure if I had anything so they refered me to J'S Abrams who saw something there that they could work with. Navid was wonderful to work with along with Courtney who was my contact for anything I needed . Navid was great how he was able to pull something out of what others saw nothing. I would recommend this team for employment related issues to anyone out there. If you don't think you have solid ground to stand on consult this team they will let you know if you have something to move forward with. These guys deserve the 5 stars I rated them with and then some.
