Experience and knowledge

Mr. Abrams recently represented me in a hearing case. I unreservedly recommend his services. James Abrams initially comes across as a quiet and considered individual. He listens, absorbs detail and opinions, and then makes convincing recommendations and decisions that get right to the heart of the i...ssues. In James Abrams, I saw all the key qualities I needed in one person. The result shows simply how good he is. He is diligent, shows great grasp of detail, an ability to pinpoint and address the key issues and was strong in the hearing. I was extremely impressed with Mr. Abram’s experience and knowledge at every stage. He was prepared, forceful without being aggressive, and diplomatic. I cannot recommend Mr. Abram highly enough.

Ace in the Hole - Worth Every Penny

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.

Excellent Service!

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%.

I won my unemployment appeal thanks for Jim!

Jim was wonderful, and I don't think I would have won my case without his help. He was very knowledgable and talked to me about my case with great details, so I felt comfortable with what to expect in the hearing. He was realiable and helped with my questions and concerns leading up to the appeal. ... I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has a similar situation.

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.
