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.

Very responsive employment attorney

Jim helped me with a complex employment issue and resolved it within 90 days. His techniques to move a matter forward without having to file a lawsuit are impressive. Jim returns phone calls and e-mails very quickly and is an expert in his field.

Simply the Best

I have been a client of Jim Abrams for reasons related to my employment as an Airline Pilot. He has spent many hours counseling me on matters related to my employment for many, many years. I would highly recommend this attorney. He is highly knowledgeable and personable. He is simply the best!
