Took my lemon and juiced it!

In 2010 I made the unfortunate decision to purchase a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from a dealership in Boulder. Over the course of eighteen months my CPO vehicle malfunctioned mechanically and electrically over a dozen times resulting in anxiety about my safety while driving this vehicle, as well as ...inconveniencing both my personal and professional life and schedule. All be it long overdue, the day finally came when I came to the conclusion that there was something inherently wrong with this vehicle, something that could not be fixed. The difficult part came trying to convince the dealership of the same. After numerous phone calls that went unreturned and multiple messages left unresponded to from the Service Manager at the dealership, the salesman I purchased the car from, and even the owner of the dealership I finally decided I needed the help of a professional. Mr. Abrams was recommended to me by my business associate who has worked with him on multiple employment and labor issues with great satisfaction. From my first meeting with Mr. Abrams I knew that my issue with the dealership would quickly become a non-issue. Armed with the stack of service notes on my vehicle as well as a statement from myself Mr. Abrams wrote an eight page letter that was sent not only to the Service Manager, the owner of the dealership, the State of Colorado Department of Revenue Automobile Division, the head of BMW North America, but also the head of BMW Germany. This letter was expertly written and came to multiple, logical conclusions regarding this CPO vehicle that there was nothing that could be said by them against his arguments. Within two weeks from the letter being sent out I had the attention of the State of Colorado Department of Revenue as well as the apologies of the Service Manager and the owner, but more importantly I had a swift and very acceptable resolution to my problem, which was the complete repurchase of this vehicle from myself by BMW North America. Mr. Abrams was solely responsible for lifting the financial and emotional burden this vehicle had on my life. I can call myself one of the many people that asks themselves, "why did I wait so long to call a lawyer?" I will not make that mistake again. Mr. Abrams is a competent and caring professional. I am very glad to have on the list of people I can call should I find myself in a bind. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Definately Recommend to Friends and Family

Jim has been working with me over the past few months and I have been very impressed with his work. He responds to questions and emails very promptly. I have emailed on a weekend and he has STILL responded within the half hour! He has walked me through everything step by step and has kept me inform...ed on anything I need to do. I recently had a hearing and was very impressed with how he prepped me and handled my case. Things went better than I could have every expected. I would definately recommend him to friends and even more so to my family. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and someone that will fight for you and back you up 110%, he is your lawyer.

Awesome Abrams!

I was referred to Jim Abrams by a national defense firm to address a number of legal issues. I saw Jim after an unsuccessful encounter with another lawyer and after being told by other large firms that my case, while strong, would be time consuming and without a very large retainer, they had no inter...est in representing me. And even with a retainer, they asked for a large portion of the settlement at conclusion. I was impressed with Mr. Abrams background and experience after his lengthy experience with the Office of the Solicitor, Rockwell International and Texaco - and he did not disappoint. My case was complex, intricate and ongoing for several years. We faced constant twists and turns and dealt with individuals whose thought processes were convoluted, devious and calculating. It required much work on his behalf and some complex legal maneuvering in court. This case continued over a period of years and Jim was always there for me. He was bright, knowledgeable and well-informed in all his dealings with me, the courts and the opposing party. His guidance and direction was invaluable throughout the entire process. He was in complete control and managed the case like the true professional that he is. This case would have resulted in personal, professional and financial devastation to me had it not been for Jim. Jim was not only fair with his fees but he saved me a substantial amount of money by him taking the steps that he did and handling the case in the manner that he did. I faced a case against a very large state university and won as a result of Jim’s legal expertise and savvy. His shrewdness, confidence and astuteness, makes him one of the best in the legal industry. His advice was spot on every step of the way. He was communicative, clear in his expectations and simply outstanding during every aspect of my case. He saved me from a situation that could have been truly devastating to my future. Being a legal professional myself with over six years experience working for a top rated law school, I am surrounded by members of the legal community at all levels every day. I can say without hesitation that there is simply no one better, brighter, or more amazing than Jim Abrams. While I hope to never have to partake of his services again, should I have reason, Jim will be the first person that I call. He is my attorney for life.

The most thorough!

Jim has advised me and my businesses for over a decade. After trying a couple of other "super lawyers." who took advantage of me, I contacted Sherman and How, a major defense firm. Jim was recommended to me by them. He has obtained excellent results for me every time. . I recommend him without reser...vation.

Great attorney to work with - If you want the best, Jim Abrams is the answer!

My husband and I turned to Holland Hart, a major law firm, to identify the best attorney to address a complex legal issue. We were referred Jim Abrams. Jim represented us for many months. He proposed a strategy upon which we proceeded to a highly successful conclusion. Jim was the attorney who could ...focus his energies on our needs and retain a variety of facts and applicable laws to lead us to the result we were seeking. We would utilize his services again without hesitation. Jim was, by far, the most thorough and dedicated individual for which we could have hoped. We would recommend him again to anyone.
