James Abrams

I was totally blindsided by my situation. What I appreciated most was that Jim took the time to listen to my side of the story. He identified the factors needed to drive a successful outcome. After our consultation, I knew he was the right attorney to represent my case. Jim eased my anxiety as we... reviewed the complexity of questioning before the court hearing. I knew exactly what to do based on his guidance and, as a result, we won the case. My sincere gratitude.

I was recently represented by James Abrams in a hearing case. He won the case in a very well thought out manner. James was readily available to meet with me prior to the hearing, listened to the details and opinions, and then put together very direct recommendations and a strategy which addressed th...e issues of my case. He is diligent and was strong in the hearing. James pinpointed and addressed the key issues, letting me know half way through the hearing that he believed all points had been covered favorably. I was impressed with his experience and knowledge at every stage. James was prepared and easy to work with. The result shows how good he is. I highly recommend his services.

I retained Jim after other attorneys advised me my case was hopeless. We had a tough, lengthy hearing against my former employer. I honestly did not think we could win. I was extremely nervous about the process until I met with Jim. Not only did he put me at ease the first time we met, but I was amaz...ed how Jim took charge of the proceeding and we ultimately prevailed. His command of the courtroom was obvious and the judge was very deferential to Jim. The employer knew it was in trouble as soon as Jim started talking. It was all over about a quarter of the way into the hearing. The strategy Jim decided upon was followed perfectly.

After an 18 year career I was terminated without notice based on a horrible exaggeration. To make matters worse, my employer fights every unemployment case as a general policy, regardless of the reason for termination. In my case, it meant that my family lost income and health insurance for three ...months while we waited to go through an appeal process. I researched and interviewed several Denver area unemployment lawyers and ultimately chose to hire Jim based on his interview. He seemed to have a tremendous wealth of both knowledge and experience. Furthermore, he seemed to be well connected with the people in the industry, but at the same time he had a great desk-side manner. He was able to answer even the simplest and most repetitive questions of mine. He never spoke to me in a demeaning manner, and he was always willing to answer questions from my husband, even if he had already answered them. He welcomed me into his home for a pre-hearing meeting. He answered my telephone calls when I had questions both before and after the hearing. He met me at the hearing in enough advance time to prepare for the hearing again. The result? We won our appeal in record time. My former employer didn't even show up to the hearing, probably because they were aware that they were up against more than they could handle. The hearing was over in 15 minutes and I received confirmation of our successful ruling in four days. Jim was even willing to give me some advice about how to proceed with regard to my employment search after our successful appeal was completed. In short, Jim Abrams seems like the perfect Ace in the Hole when you are in need of an unemployment lawyer.

I am writing this review about the effective representation in a legal dispute that ruled in a hearing where I was successful. Mr. Abrams is competent, compassionate, and very knowledgeable in employment law. After reviewing the facts of the case he was able to give honest feedback and explained the ...interpretation of the statute involved with my hearing. He has stellar representation in the community that is well deserved and I would recommend his services 100%.
