Unemployment

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.

Saves my backside and helps me grow

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.

Informative Session with Mr. Abrams

In our first meeting, James reviewed the context, scope, and possible next steps of my employment situation. He exhibited a thorough knowledge of his craft in a professional manner.

Jim Abrams: Exemplary in Employment Law

Jim stood by me in a very difficult employment situation. He aided me in transitioning from a terrible work environment to a place where I could regain my health. The Company eventually had to bring in a new lawyer to negotiate wth Jim due to Jim not budging with respect to our position. With Jim's t...enacity and a breadth of knowledge in employment law, there's nobody quite like him. I highly recommend Jim Abrams.

Highly recommend Jim Abrams

We own a small business and were audited by the department of labor who determined we owed back taxes for unemployment insurance and penalties. We hired Jim Abrams and never looked back. Jim has been nothing short of amazing in his representation of us during our hearing which lasted several days. Th...is case endangered our business , family and livelihoods. At the conclusion of the case , the government's auditor stated that he had never faced anyone as good as Jim. We won that case and it was an incredible relief. I can recommend no one better than Jim Abrams.
