Experienced employment attorney

I hired Jim to handle an unpleasant situation in which a former employer was slandering me with intent to harm my professional reputation. He was direct, effective, prompt and the lies have stopped. I recommend him without hesitation.

5 Star Service

I have been a client for 4 years having issues at my place of employment regarding harassment, hostile work environment, discrimination regarding medical issues among other things. James listened to my issues in 2012 and it calmed down after a stern letter to the Company from him. When the issues r...eturned at an alarming rate, I contacted James because he knew the history and I knew I could trust him. It has been 2 years since my termination and we are in the appeal process. James has continued to handle my case with care and concern. I was impressed with him in regards to how he prepared my case, consulting with me every step of the way. He respected my condition and the after effects of chemo explaining everything to me in terms I understood. James is not afraid to stand up for what is right and he has always done the right thing by me. He is not intimidated by anyone in the system. He is someone I have trusted for 4 years. I do not know how my case will turn out, but I will be forever thankful to James. His diligence, integrity, knowledge of the law, and an attitude to do the right thing by his client makes him the best person to have next to you in a hearing. Donna

Top Notch!

If you're looking to hire a great attorney, someone who is easy to talk to and will work endlessly to get you the best deal possible, then Jim Abrams is the right choice. I have worked with him twice and unlike many other lawyers, he's not about racking up charges. Often, attornies are all too eage...r to go to litigation, where they make a lot of money and cause you a lot of brain damage - as the saying goes, you may win the battle but lose the war. Mr. Abrams is all about negotiation and is very skillful at what he does. It was unfortunate that I have had to hire an attorney in the past but very thankful that a friend had recommended I call Mr. Abrams. He made the whole process a lot less painful.

Excellent Employment Lawyer

Jim represented me in a contentious series of hearings with my hostile employer. They had hired a large law firm to represent them. It did not go well for them. Jim was great to work with and gave me sound advice on how to proceed. Opposing witnesses were subjected to cross examination and Jim ...took control of the proceeding. It became immediately apparent that he knows his way around a courtroom. While the employer could have settled the matter, it refused even after Jim advised them that this dispute was not going to go well for them. It couldn't have gone worse for the employer. Jim is entitled to the strongest endorsement as he does not give up or get rattled by an obstinate employer represented by a big firm's partner. The employer wasted a tremendous amount of time and money trying to avoid liability. It did not work. Thank you Jim!
