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

The attorney for you!

Mr. Abrams's attentiveness to my Unemployment Appeal Hearing was handled with thoughtfulness and diligence. I was impressed with his knowledge of the law, prep for the case and how he assisted me with preparing my information. I would highly recommend Mr. Abrams to anyone in need of legal council.

A well experience attorney in employment issues

I used google's search engine to find an attorney to help with my unemployment benefits. My former employer contested my eligibility for benefits and I felt I needed an attorney to help me in my hearing. After speaking with 2 other firms and realizing I was in store for as much as $350/hour, I call...ed Mr. Abrams. Jim indicated he charged a $500 flat fee and the other firms were comedians. I am glad I went with the less expensive option as this hearing was a routine one. Jim was well prepared and asked the right questions. He is not the type of person who responds to every email or phone call but he has this down to a science so trust him. He eventually makes sure you are well prepared and eases the anxiety. I would recommend hiring him if your budget is tight or you just need a little extra help.

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.
