Wonderful atty.

I was freaking out when I received a letter from unemployment saying I owed over 20,000$ I called Jim and right away after hearing my story he took my case. I was high risk I am a stay at home mom and have limited income. I was in tears I was so scared. Jim spoke to me on the phone and told me we had... a hearing in a couple of weeks. The day came, I couldn't stop crying. He was very re assuring and told me exactly what to say and do. I felt confident that things were going to be ok. The hearing began..I still was crying.. Jim continued to re assure me things would be ok. ( it's nice to know he is a caring person and does not look at you as a bad person) the hearing was over. And I had to wait two weeks for an answer. I finally got it in the mail....Thank you God!!! Thank you Jim for helping me through all this. It was all dismissed and I owed nothing.

James Abrams wins another case...

I was recently represented by James Abrams in a hearing case. He won the case in a very well thought out manner. James was readily available to meet with me prior to the hearing, listened to the details and opinions, and then put together very direct recommendations and a strategy which addressed th...e issues of my case. He is diligent and was strong in the hearing. James pinpointed and addressed the key issues, letting me know half way through the hearing that he believed all points had been covered favorably. I was impressed with his experience and knowledge at every stage. James was prepared and easy to work with. The result shows how good he is. I highly recommend his services.

Ace in the Hole - Worth Every Penny

After an 18 year career I was terminated without notice based on a horrible exaggeration. To make matters worse, my employer fights every unemployment case as a general policy, regardless of the reason for termination. In my case, it meant that my family lost income and health insurance for three ...months while we waited to go through an appeal process. I researched and interviewed several Denver area unemployment lawyers and ultimately chose to hire Jim based on his interview. He seemed to have a tremendous wealth of both knowledge and experience. Furthermore, he seemed to be well connected with the people in the industry, but at the same time he had a great desk-side manner. He was able to answer even the simplest and most repetitive questions of mine. He never spoke to me in a demeaning manner, and he was always willing to answer questions from my husband, even if he had already answered them. He welcomed me into his home for a pre-hearing meeting. He answered my telephone calls when I had questions both before and after the hearing. He met me at the hearing in enough advance time to prepare for the hearing again. The result? We won our appeal in record time. My former employer didn't even show up to the hearing, probably because they were aware that they were up against more than they could handle. The hearing was over in 15 minutes and I received confirmation of our successful ruling in four days. Jim was even willing to give me some advice about how to proceed with regard to my employment search after our successful appeal was completed. In short, Jim Abrams seems like the perfect Ace in the Hole when you are in need of an unemployment lawyer.

Good Experience

I contacted Mr. Abrams regarding unemployment insurance eligibility questions. It was quite complicated. Mr. Abrams promptly responded to my inquiry and was able to see me within the week. When we met, I felt that he was friendly and knowledgeable. He spent around an hour with me answering all of my ...questions and assured me of a positive outcome. I felt that his assurance was based on my situation and his objective review of the details as opposed to just wanting me to feel better. Mr. Abrams's advice and answers were right on the money which of course is the most important part of the equation. He was also available after our consultation to answer additional questions. I would suggestion calling him with questions as opposed to email. Lastly, his rates were very reasonable and were well worth the expense.

WE WON THE UNEMPLOYMENT APPEAL!!!!!

Thank God for Jim. After my application for unemployment was denied I needed to find someone to help me. However as I was working for and with attorneys, I knew I wouldn't be able to fight them on my own. Because of Jim's wonderful online reviews, I knew I had to at least ask him if I had a case. ... I emailed him on Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend and to my amazement, he read my email and called me immediately. Since then, I couldn't have asked for a better advocate, adviser or counselor. Jim advised me at every step and was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. The cost for Jim's services are incredibly reasonable. He really does work for the "average Joe." However he is experienced and knowledgeable while throwing in in a little comic relief when needed. At my unemployment appeal hearing he was professional, knowledgeable, and tenacious. I don't know that you can ask for more than that. My reputation and character were being trashed and because of Jim's help it has been restored. Thank you and God bless you Jim.
