James Abrams

I hired Jim because I needed help with with my unemployment appeal. I felt I had been wrongfully terminated and Jim was not only professional and on top of everything, but kept me on track. He didn't let me get caught up in the pain of my termination but stayed on task in getting me the unemployme...nt that I deserved due to my job loss. He never let us get caught up in extra things that may not help the case but stayed focused on all the things that helped us win. In doing that... he also helped me accept my job loss and move on, which was an added benefit! He is tough when needed and always is confident in what he is doing which kept my mind at ease through what seems like a very tedious process. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants someone with the knowledge and skill to get your case won.

I am a health care professional that recently had an experience with employee bullying. I was not allowed, even when I asked, to explain what had been happening. I stuck up for myself and several others and I ended up being the one disciplined. I am not typically someone who would seek legal couns...el, but I felt very unprotected in this situation. It was highly recommended to me by my work place peers to get a lawyer. I did not have any idea how to even search. I ended up just googling "labor lawyers for health care professionals" and came across James Abrams name. I left him a message that was urgent as I was to have a meeting the next afternoon with my employer. James called me at 10pm and left a message. He called back at 06:00am and we met at 09:00! I explained my situation, which he documented in detail. In less than an hour, James finished a letter to my employer. I was a little frightened to have this letter sent. It was not threatening in any way, but I am just not the kind of person to seek a lawyer. James gave me the option to send it to them myself so he sent it to me as an email. He strongly advise that I send this letter for my own protection. I made the decision to send it and then met with my employer later that day. The meeting went very well and I was given a lot of respect for my concerns. I was informed by one of my peers that the manager had informed the staff I was returning the next and that I be given the utmost respect and not be asked any questions. My return to work was very comfortable and I was treated very well. I cannot thank James enough for seeing me on such short notice and taking my situation as serious. He is very kind and caring and I felt strongly that I could trust him. He is extremely knowledgeable in the rights of employees and taught me things I had never known.

For serious personnel issues, Mr. Abrams stays completely on point. He is thorough, detailed and uses objective analysis to define the best approach. He is mature and knowledgeable which keeps the client from making poor decisions. He outlines choices and their ramifications. He stays the course ...with a steady hand. When he needs to be aggressive, he does it. He also is able to measure his actions against the particular circumstances present in these cases. He represents his clients fiercely and fairly. He gets the job done sometimes painlessly. A true warrior brain trust.

Jim Abrams is a credit to his profession. Clearly an advocate for righting wrong, he has an outstanding understanding of the law combined with a business acumen that allows him to formulate a strategy that brings legal situations to closure in a manner that is efficient in terms of time, expense and ...with total concern for the client. Jim is very easy to work with and I would highly recommend him to friends and associates.
