James Abrams

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.

I hired Jim because I needed help with with my unemployment appeal. I felt I had been wrongfully terminated and Jim was not only professional and on top of everything, but kept me on track. He didn't let me get caught up in the pain of my termination but stayed on task in getting me the unemployme...nt that I deserved due to my job loss. He never let us get caught up in extra things that may not help the case but stayed focused on all the things that helped us win. In doing that... he also helped me accept my job loss and move on, which was an added benefit! He is tough when needed and always is confident in what he is doing which kept my mind at ease through what seems like a very tedious process. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants someone with the knowledge and skill to get your case won.

I found myself needing legal representation for an unexpected unemployment appeals hearing. My former employer was denying my claim to receive benefits. I came across Mr. Abrams name on the internet, his credentials and experience impressed me. After meeting with him in person to discuss the detai...ls of my case, I was suddenly terminated after 23 years for making a mistake. Fellow employees were not terminated after their errors were caught and corrected. It is my belief that I was terminated under the veil of downsizing after my new manager was given access to information about personnel salaries. Mr. Abrams contested their points professionally and passionately and I am happy to report that the appeals judge ruled in my favor. Mr. Abrams is a personable and experienced lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone requiring legal counsel and representation.

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.
