Jim Won My UI Appeal Hearing

This is the first time I've had to hire an attorney. I heard about him via word of mouth. My initial unemployment claim was denied. I sincerely felt I had a fighting chance to appeal, as my employer's treatment toward me caused me to voluntarily quit my job. Everyone says, "well, you can't get unempl...oyment because you quit." Every case in different! I URGE YOU to at least contact Jim to run your story by him. He'll be straight with you. My confidence to fight back increased tenfold after first meeting Jim Abrams. I put the whole thing in his hands, and in God's hands. Between the two of them, they totally came through for me with a full UI award. Nothing speaks like experience, and he has decades of it. Plus a background in corporate America from the employer's perspective, and in the military gives him the no-holds-barred stature he brought to the hearing. He is very professional and polite, and simultaneously relentless, detailed and thorough in his questioning of the other side. He really cares, and WILL bring to surface in the hearing that "there is an elephant in the room" and "the emperor has no clothes." Jim made me feel very comfortable on the phone, at his home office, and during our private prep time at the Department of Labor office before we went into the hearing room. I was in awe of his mastery of control, and language during the hearing. He took copious notes at the table, so he was always on top of things when it was his turn to speak for me. I would never, ever have been able to pursue retaining an attorney if it weren't for his very reasonable fees geared to the average person. Thank you so much, Jim, for assisting me in seeing that justice was done. I'll never forget your generosity of service to society.

UI Appeals Hearing legal help

Jim was a pleasure to work with in preparing for my Unemployment benefits appeals hearing. He is truly a subject matter expert on employee rights, employer misconduct and discharged workers' eligibility for Unemployment Benefits. I highly recommend him to anyone who has experienced mistreatment fro...m an employer (i.e. age discrimination, wrongful termination, sudden discharge). With 30+ years experience representing clients, Jim is a great asset to the Denver / Front Range region! Thanks to Jim's hard work and attention to detail, we won my UI Appeals hearing! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help in employment law cases.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Abrams took on my unemployment case for a flat fee of $500. I had my doubts at first as most of my interactions with lawyers have proven them to be untrustworthy and greedy. Mr. Abrams turned out to be an excellent lawyer and a good person. My case took 4 hearings but in the end my case prevai...led due to Mr. Abrams knowledge of the law. I would HIGHLY recommend Jim Abrams both as a lawyer and as an upstanding individual.

The attorney for you!

Mr. Abrams's attentiveness to my Unemployment Appeal Hearing was handled with thoughtfulness and diligence. I was impressed with his knowledge of the law, prep for the case and how he assisted me with preparing my information. I would highly recommend Mr. Abrams to anyone in need of legal council.

Amazing man to work with!

Mr. Abrams is an incredible attorney with knowledge to get the job done and done well. The results he has achieved for me have been nothing short of amazing. He continues to guide me in the process and has my best interests in mind. I would recommend him to any body (and have) that needs to win a... case!!
