Unemployment Nightmare

Has an employer who was appealing the unemployment department’s decision in my case for the 3rd time!! I was tired of fighting, but Jim Abrams fought the Freddy in my unemployment nightmare; setting my fears far behind me :)

Great Attorney and great guy!

Jim is great from start to finish! He took what was a very scary and unknown situation, and made it calm. He provided excellent, ongoing consultation throughout the process and was clear about next steps. He always made himself available as well. He was diligent in his negotiations and concluded ...my legal matter expeditiously. I would refer anyone with a labor dispute to consult with and hire Jim - he is truly one of a kind and the best at what he does!

Excellent lawyer & upstanding gentleman! I highly recommend him.

Jim is an outstanding person and professional. He is a very accomplished lawyer and a hardworking person who helped me through a complex multi-state unemployment benefits issue with the state of Colorado. His in-depth legal knowledge and savvy helped me tremendously. He guided me through the process ...of appealing three redeterminations, and the hearings that followed. He was upfront and honest about costs, responsive about any questions that I had, and did a great job helping me to prepare for my hearings. We were successful in appealing all three of my redeterminations! I wouldn't have been able to do it without Jim! I am so grateful to him for his hard work, and straight forward business style. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for legal aid in labor and employment law.

Wish I would have hired Jim first

I lost my job. I hired one attorney who took an approach to challenging my discharge that was not helpful or successful. I believe that if I had hired Jim first, I wold not have been discharged. Jim is a creative, "out of box" thinker who has no fear of the courtroom or being opposed by an employ...er's large legal department. Through a combination of strategy, discovery of evidence and advocacy, we partnered and were able to cause my former employer to come to the table, settle the case on fair terms and restore my reputation, enabling me to move on. Jim is a first-rate attorney. He will work around the clock for you. It was not uncommon for me to receive emails from him late at night or very early in the morning. I highly recommend him.

The Best

I hired Mr. Abrams in 2003 to represent me with my employer at the time. I spoke with Mr. Abrams on the phone immediately and scheduled consultation. Mr. Abrams is a brilliant, completely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. He knows what is the best path for your specific issue and will guide yo...u correctly, even if litigation is not the best process for your specific case. The best in employment law.
