Consultation

Susie and Carol make this attorney one you want to skip. They do not call you back and tell you things afterward. Not a trustworthy team. Find someone else that cares about your situation.

Insensitive, uncaring, unprofessional

I had a phone consultation. Mr Abrams said I see you had an MSA in you divorces then states "What do you need me for then"? Later on he asked what my income was then say's "that's all you make"? He laughed when I told him I did not have an attorney during my divorce. He told me that I make bad decisi...ons since I have had to file bankruptcy 8 years ago. I have never been spoke to by an attorney like this in my life!

I did have a phone conversation with this person as an accommodation to them and unfortunately was only able to tell them I did not practice in the area I believe they would need assistance. I would never tell somebody they make bad decisions nor laugh at them. I feel badly that this person feels they heard something that was not said and certainly never intended and I hope they are able to obtain assistance with their issue.

Custody Modification

Robert Abrams did an amazing job representing me during my custody modification. I had been going to court off and on for five years with no resolution to my petitions. I finally decided to find an attorney to represent me. Mr. Abrams let me know out front what concerns are valid and what may or m...ay not be granted by the court. His experience and expertise made me feel confident during the entire court process. The end result was everything in my petition being granted by the court. I highly recommend Robert and his staff to anyone who needs assistance in family civil court matters.

Posted by Ricky Joe Loyd | October 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Real Estate

Unaware of commercial property in escrow and was being forced with 2 days notice to sign escrow papers .

I received a message that the property that I was on the title with was in escrow . I wasn't aware of the property even forsale , let alone in escrow ,My x partners tried to force me to sign escrow papers with nothing as far as a sales contract regarding the sale . The attorney involved with this sa...le sent me a email telling me if i refused to sign papers by friday at noon , they would file a law suit to try and lift my name off the title . So 3;45 friday I was notified of a law suit filed against myself for not signing escrow papers. Just happened to be a 3day weekend and needed to get someone experienced in Real Estate property sales and contacted Bob Abrams . Bob replied to me posting my post for legal help on Monday a Holiday and made a appointment for me to come to his office to explain in detail my situation .Bob had stopped the court action and has made it possible for the escrow papers to be signed with receiving a check made out to me for the sale of the property of partnership percentage as the LLC Agreement was written . Further more Bob is also helping me get some Moneys owed for the rental of this property that goes back 5 years ago ,and other Moneys with the sale of the business also . Bob Abrams is Very easy to understand and is A Great Attorney . Thanks Bob for living up to your Words of saying that I am in good hands . not too worry .....
