Timeshare Disposal

I was glad to have found the John Abrams law firm to finally dispose of my expensive unwanted timeshare. This firm performed very professionally and was able to dispose of my timeshare before the imposition of the new years annual (very costly) maintenance fee. Many thanks, John Abram, and associat...es.

Job Well Done!!!

I contacted Mr. Abrams' firm after talking with several other companies that wanted a large cash up front payment with no guarantees or to sell it with no guarantees. I even looked into giving it away, but that still required a lot of money too. Putting a ton of cash up front without guarantees was n...ot an option for me. I am truly happy that I found the firm. It was truly a NO MONEY UP FRONT process. After completing my disposition, there was some quietness from the firm as they worked in the background. I was fine about that. I even read in other company reviews that this happens at other companies as well - timeshare divestments take time. After 3 months, I got my first update saying things were on track. During the 5th month, I got confirmation of an offer and by the 6th month, I had signed all paperwork reaching a full divesture. I am extremely excited about my future!

They kept their promise!

I am so happy to report that John Abrams firm was a wonderful advocate for my family regarding our timeshare divestment. Ultimately, we got everything we hoped for (a full divestment!) I definitely recommend this firm!

Finally relief

After many attempts with the resort and losing money with other companies that promised to get us out of our timeshare, we turned to The Abrams Firm. They checked out with every search we did and did not ask for money up front. That is a key point - NEVER PAY UP FRONT. We are very pleased to be free ...from our timeshare now. The Abrams Firm did exactly what they said they would do. Handled our case professionally and stayed with on top of the resort until completely resolved.

Timeshare

Our personal lawyer referred us to the Abrams' firm to assist us in the cancellation of our timeshare ownership in So. California. We followed Mr. Abrams instructions and forwarded him the documents that we had proving our ownership. In three months he had completed the transfer of our ownership ba...ck to the company now holding the timeshares. We found Mr. Abrams to be forthright and clear. His explanatory documents were easy to read. We were kept informed throughout the process. We have considered his fee to be reasonable, especially considering that we had previously spent nearly double the amount attempting to sell the timeshare. We highly, and with no reservations, recommend The Abrams firm.

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.
