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!

No more sleepless nights!

Many thanks to John Abrams and the nice people at the Abrams Firm for obtaining our timeshare divestment. Even with their "no money upfront" policy, I admit I was worried and skeptical. It took a little time (and required some patience on my part) but they delivered! Now, no more worries, no more los...ing sleep over the financial timeshare web we seemed trapped in. I cannot thank you enough.

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 Divestment

We were advised at the time we purchased a timeshare that the timeshare corporation would either buy back or help us sell it in the future. This turned out to be untrue; thus we hired the Abrams firm to consult us regarding our options. They advised that due to the circumstances in our case, they wou...ld work at dissolving the contract. A year later we are timeshare free. Abrams delivered on everything they promised they could do. A very professional and dedicated staff!

Time share divestment works with John Abrams

Its not often that I take time to write these reviews but the Abrams firm delivered what they promised to do and that is to get my wife and I out of the time share trap. I was very skeptical at first especially seeing all those law firms making sweeping promises but after extensively researching John... Abrams firm we hired them to do the job. If your expecting a quick fix (which is not realistic and a red flag for any company) then you should go somewhere else because it's the real world here. John Abrams had an uphill battle with our timeshare we had to be patient but eventually we got out of our timeshare. I highly recommend them.

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.
