James Abrams

I was lucky to have James Abrams as my attorney. He is an excellent lawyer and I give my highest recommendation. He is honest, straightforward and confident. He was extremely responsive to all my communication and was always available to answer all my questions and phone calls. I was being harassed a...nd discriminated in a hostile work environment. He analyzed my case thoroughly. His expertise in work harassment and discrimination led to a favorable outcome for me. He is tenacious, during what had turned out to be an endurance contest. We persuaded the employer it was in for a fight and big legal bills, it then decided to mediate and settle the case. You will also have the privilege to meet Sadie his Golden doodle, Sadie is the most loving "assistant" any client could hope for. You would be lucky to have Jim advocate for you.

Jim helped me negotiate an at-will separation agreement with my former employer after I was laid off from a mid-senior management role. His service was absolutely extraordinary. I appreciated his reasonable, flat consultation rate, which allowed us to talk about my situation without undue time pressu...re. This seemed like a smart approach for Jim too, since my budget would not limit his ability to spend time exploring issues to find out if I had a potentially valuable case. I thought Jim's personal attention and generosity might come to an abrupt end when it became clear that I had only a modest case, so I was pleasantly surprised when his attentiveness remained exactly the same after our initial consultation. He continued to answer my follow-up questions promptly, returned my phone calls, and consistently showed compassion. It was obvious that Jim not only has the legal expertise you would expect from someone of his credentials and experience, but also appreciates the psychological distress his clients face when dealing with difficult circumstances. Jim is really top-notch, and I would recommend him any day.

Mr. Abrams was available at all times. He assisted me in a case I had zero experience in. Mr. Abrams possesses a valuable skill for attention to detail. His years of experience proceeds him. I felt very confident and secure under his representation. He was informative and educational. I highly recomm...end Mr. Abrams for representation.

I am a physician, and have worked with Jim Abrams on various contract, employment and professional / business development negotiations over the past six years. Each time, I have come away from the experience both very satisfied with the outcome, and having learned a lot -- about myself, about effecti...ve communication and negotiation, about building strong professional relationships (and gracefully exiting ones that no longer fulfill both parties), and about how to achieve my aims (and strive for even more!) with both integrity and power. Jim's wealth of deep knowledge across law, business, psychology, healthcare, philosophy and beyond (he is a true 21st century renaissance man!) has inspired me and often saved me from costly and time-consuming mis-steps. Hiring Jim is a great investment for the sort of client who is intelligent, looking to learn and grow through each experience, and committed to excellence and integrity. I have found working with Jim to be far faster, more powerful and more cost-effective than hiring a standardized legal service, a professional coach, an HR consultant, a therapist and taking post-grad enrichment courses. If you want to be your best (personally and professionally), surround yourself with partners and experts who are at their best, and you will learn to soar. Whether you are exiting a situation which does not support and honor your excellence, or building a new endeavor based on that excellence, Jim Abrams is the attorney to have on your team.
