Top Notch!

If you're looking to hire a great attorney, someone who is easy to talk to and will work endlessly to get you the best deal possible, then Jim Abrams is the right choice. I have worked with him twice and unlike many other lawyers, he's not about racking up charges. Often, attornies are all too eage...r to go to litigation, where they make a lot of money and cause you a lot of brain damage - as the saying goes, you may win the battle but lose the war. Mr. Abrams is all about negotiation and is very skillful at what he does. It was unfortunate that I have had to hire an attorney in the past but very thankful that a friend had recommended I call Mr. Abrams. He made the whole process a lot less painful.

Excellent Employment Lawyer

Jim represented me in a contentious series of hearings with my hostile employer. They had hired a large law firm to represent them. It did not go well for them. Jim was great to work with and gave me sound advice on how to proceed. Opposing witnesses were subjected to cross examination and Jim ...took control of the proceeding. It became immediately apparent that he knows his way around a courtroom. While the employer could have settled the matter, it refused even after Jim advised them that this dispute was not going to go well for them. It couldn't have gone worse for the employer. Jim is entitled to the strongest endorsement as he does not give up or get rattled by an obstinate employer represented by a big firm's partner. The employer wasted a tremendous amount of time and money trying to avoid liability. It did not work. Thank you Jim!

Thank You, Mr. Abrams !

We hired James L Abrams (Jim Abrams) concerning a long running court controversy in Arapahoe County. We know we will never find an attorney quite like him . We had a major and very unpleasant battle with the opposing party.Jim stuck by us many times not charging for his services. He was always respo...nsive to our phone calls, always ready to give us legal advice and updates on our case. Jim Abrams is tenacious, he would not give up.The case went on for years. The attorney on the other side had a reputation for winning no matter what the cost and she did not fight fair. In the end we won. I think that the opposing attorney will never forget Mr. Abrams and neither will we. We always will be thankful to the attorney Jim Abrams.

Unfairly Fired

We selected Jim to address a discharge which was terribly unfair. The employer fabricated various reasons I was entitled to be fired. Jim went above and beyond of what we asked or expected of him and I had a great outcome . The employer learned its lesson. Don't think twice about having Jim on y...our side.

Absolutely an exemplary attorney

Jim goes above and beyond to make sure you are taken care of. His responsiveness and communication is far beyond impressive. Clearly Jim knows the business. He also totes a great sense of humor and makes the whole process as seamless as possible. Stellar work Abrams!
