"Victory for my Unemployment"

I recently had the opportunity to employ Mr. Abrams for a dispute with a past employer over my unemployment. Having Mr. Abrams for a legal advisor was definnetly to my advantage, and I was able to get a favorable verdict and outcome to my appeal hearing. Mr. Abrams legal counsel turned out to be an i...nvaluable e xperience, as he was very knowledgable and understanding of this process, and his preperation of me, pre-hearing, helped me have the confidence and ability to face my hearing without a lot of anxiety. In waiting for this unemployment hearing to take place, Mr. Abrams kept me informed, and when i had any questions, all i needed to do was call him via phone, and leave a message, or send him an e-mail message, and he never failed to get back with me. His responses were always prompt. Thanks Jim Abrams for all of your help, and I will always remember the lesson of "Beans up your nose." I would recommend Jim Abrams to anyone who is need of a competent attorney, and an attorney that has great experience in dealing with unemployment appeals. Written by Robt. D. 5/13/13.

Excellent Service

I was very fortunate to meet Mr. Abrams when I needed someone with legal services. I had a discrimination issue and Mr. Abrams helped me a great deal. He handled my case fast and I was able to reach solution quickly putting the entire matter behind me. Mr. Abrams did an excellent job responding quick...ly to my questions while providing concise advice. He is very professional, attentive, and extremely competent. If you are looking for someone that is hardworking, honest, and really good at their job, I would highly recommend to contact Mr. Abrams.

Luca, you are SO cool....

Attorney Abrams has many good qualities as an attorney and as a person. One of the many things I was impressed with was his willingness to listen and hear me out. I came to him because I was denied UI compensation. After listening to my case, he asked me if I wanted him to take my disability compl...aint which I didn’t even think I had. Not only did Jim Abrams recover my UI benefits, he also won my disability complaint and due to his knowledge and understanding of the system he also recovered maximum settlement from a former employer who mismanaged my termination. His qualities include integrity and empathy. He seeks justice and is able to maneuver through an unjust system without too much ado. He is a tiger in a hearing and has the ability to go for the jugular. He is very educated. If you look at his resume, one will realize that by calling on him, you are calling on one of the best. I am so glad to have Attorney Abrams on my side.

My recommendation for James L Abrams

Here is Jim Abrams "helped" me: Mr. Abrams brilliantly represented me in an EEOC matter. Jim and cocounsel helped my wife and I regain our footing after I was injured due to the willful negligence of a couple of restaurants. My wife and I hold Mr. Abrams in the highest regard. TB

Great advice at a reasonable price

Jim was very helpful when I hired him to deal with my employment termination. He gave good advice about what I could reasonably expect to receive from my ex-employer. He improved my termination agreement and helped me to improve my financial settlement. He was very conscious about keeping his fees a...s low as possible for me.
