The best labor lawyer in Colorado.

Mr. Abrams assisted me with a hearing and also a helped work out an agreement with my employer. I was pleased with the results, I was able to achieve a much better agreement than I ever could have achieved by myself. It was the best money I ever spent. Mr. Abrams gave me a better value for the money ...than other lawyers I have dealt with. I feel that Mr. Abrams is the best labor lawyer in Colorado, and one of the foremost labor lawyers in the United States. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He also is direct, if he cannot help you he will not lead you on and try to get money from you for representing a case he feels he cannot win. It became apparent during a meeting with Mr. Abrams and my employer that my employer both respected and feared Mr. Abrams. Mr. Abrams told my employer that they had violated my rights as an employee, and had violated their own guidelines in my case. I think they knew that Mr. Abrams could cause them a lot of grief if they did not come to the table with an acceptable offer. Mr. Abrams is both fierce and formidable when dealing with an employer, but he is open to compromise if it will benefit his client. He also shows a rare quality of having compassion for his client, which is out of character for most attorneys in my experience. Most attorneys say a lot of Mumbo -Jumbo, do little to really help you, followed by a large bill for their services, leaving you feeling like you were ripped off. Mr. Abrams delivers for his clients real value for the money spent. And employers know that Mr. Abrams will punish them legally if they have violated the rights of their employees. I feel that Mr. Abrams status in the labor law community is such that you should consider yourself fortunate if he agrees to represent you, I am not aware of a better labor lawyer. If the chips are down, Mr. Abrams is the guy you want in your corner.

i would have been lost without him!

Jim Abrams cared about what my family was going through and did not charge an outrageous rate to help me with my unemployment hearing. He truly is compassionate about people's lives and fought for what was right. I would highly recommend Jim for anybody going through a labor dispute. He followed thro...ugh with everything he said he would do and more. Very knowledgeable in labor laws. I would have been lost in court without him.

BEST MONEY I HAVE SPENT IN ALONG TIME

My last employer was fighting my unemployment insurance, Jim spoke to me as a peer not as a client. Jim did everything he said and understood the unemployment laws like the back of his hand. I would of paid double for his help if I could of afforded it.

GREAT ATTORNEY! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Jim is working on a wrongful termination case for me regarding a Facebook posting. My former employer denied my unemployment, but Jim helped me win the appeal. This is only the beginning of how he will help me win my case with my former employer.

Compassion

Not only did Mr. Abrams handle my wrongful termination case, he gave me the compassion and encouragement to move through the emotional aftermath of employment loss. I am thankful everyday he represented me. I would highly recommend this attorney if need for representation in the employment field aris...es!
