One in a million

All around deeply caring lawyer with a brain that could melt a polar icecap. Approachable and candid. James doesn’t sugar coat anything, but his heart is pure. One in a million human being. He helped me organize my case and gave me direction when I was getting lost, navigating the unemployment laws... for the pandemic. He will encourage you to help yourself. Take notes. He speaks fast. All of that wisdom is gold so be prepared. I’m so very grateful I found him.

Best Lawyer in Denver - Highly Recommended!

Jim Abrams was absolutely incredible! I knew I was going to hire him for my case immediately after we talked on the phone. Before my hearing, he was very caring, always made time to answer all of my questions or concerns, and was fully prepared for dealing with the hearing office. During my hearing, ...he took full control, effectively used his expertise in employment law, and was an amazing litigator. If I lost this hearing, I would have took a huge financial hit. But because of Jim, I not only avoided this financial hardship but I was actually awarded additional compensation from my former employer! I would highly recommend Jim to anyone!!

I highly recommend James Abrams

James Abrams was wonderful to work with! He prepared me for my unemployment hearing and it went better than expected. My previous employer didn't even show up to the hearing because James was my lawyer! I highly recommend working with him!

A Force Unseen by Opposing Counsel

Superbly represented me in an employment matter in which a manager exceeded all boundaries of decency. Could not have asked for a more on-point legal scholar. Mr. Abrams' intellect, combined with his uncanny ability to interject humor in answer to absurd assertions by opposing counsel, put quite th...e different spin into proceedings. Diligent, driven, assertive, and classy...few attorneys function at his level! Highly recommend!

Jim Abrams Recommendation

I was the President of a Human Resources Company and I was searching for an attorney to help with a labor issue. I recently had a conversation with a friend who owned a large oil and gas company about a similar issue he just completed. I asked him to recommend his attorney and instead he said "I wish... I had the guy on the other side. He destroyed our attorney team. Here's his number." I then engaged Jim Abrams and had a very successful outcome. That was 6 years ago and I have used Jim's services multiple times since then all with similar results. When you have a dispute, especially in a David vs Goliath situation, you want an attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable but is also willing to go for the jugular when needed. Jim is just that - I have seen the velvet hammer as well as the sledgehammer and I highly recommend his services.
