Garbage

My family and I contacted this attorney due to the timeshare problem within less than a month of buying it. He told us he was going to send us the paperwork to get it all signed two weeks pass by heard nothing. I contacted his secretary. She said she would check in on it another week. Pass by heard n...othing. I called back, she said don't worry the paperwork will be on this way to your email by the end of the day. That was almost 2 months ago. This law firm is a complete joke just like the timeshare people they pretend to try to help you with. The only thing they did was waste 2 months of my and my wife's time. If I was you I would look for a different lawyer. This place is a joke

No Nonsense!

For several years I had tried to divest of my timeshare. Most of the services out there wanted five figures with no guarantees. Them I discovered The Abrams Law Firm. I researched their credentials and found them to have impeccable credentials. I called and talked directly with John Abrams and in les...s than 6 months I had a copy of a deed transfer relieving me of responsibility for the timeshare. Although each case is unique, if you want out of a timeshare, then you need to talk with the Abrams Law Firm. Charles J.

DO NOT PAY THIS FIRM

This firm is very unresponsive; I paid the fee and didn't hear anything from them for over a year. I had to email, call and leave several messages before I received a response. The firm/owner did not respond to me until I sent daily emails and made daily calls. They only responded to me because I ...had to harass them. Once I received a response, it was only to tell me that they had reached out to the timeshare. I have still not been released from my contract and it's been over a year & a half. The only solution they have offered is to open a lawsuit for which they say it will cost an additional fee. Their $2000 initial fee did nothing; the only evidence I've seen of any work done is the owner sending a few emails to my timeshare. I still haven't heard anything back from them and the timeshare has not released me from my contract; late fees are still piling up and it's being reported to the credit bureaus each month. The firm told me to just withstand it......DO NOT GIVE THE ABRAMS FIRM YOUR MONEY!

Lifesaver

I made the big mistake of getting trapped in a timeshare and didn't know what to do or even where to start. John was so helpful. He explained everything to me and led me through the whole process. He stayed in contact with me the whole time. I am truly grateful for all his help.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2025.

Reprimand issued in WA, 2025

updated on 07/23/2025

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
