Dr. Abrams Saved My Bacon!

Dr. Abrams did not beat around the bush. He was forthwright, tenacious, and unswayable! He came out with professional guns blazing and won my unemployment for me! He was fun to watch, you could see his "wheels" engaging while he found the correct questions to ask. Though I was scared to death, he too...k charge and made all well! I recommend anyone who needs GREAT representation to contact Dr. Abrams! He is my hero, I would have lost my house if it weren't for him!!!!

Recently I needed the help of an attorney for an employment matter. Jim answered my call and we met. Going into the meeting I wasn't expecting much but by the time I left I felt so much better. He's smart, knowledgeable and told me things that might happen. I was really pleased with his honesty a...nd knowledge and will be calling him again. Thanks again, Jim!

Very knowledgeable, business savvy and on target, Jim Abams is the best Attorney one could work with.

Jim Abrams is a credit to his profession. Clearly an advocate for righting wrong, he has an outstanding understanding of the law combined with a business acumen that allows him to formulate a strategy that brings legal situations to closure in a manner that is efficient in terms of time, expense and ...with total concern for the client. Jim is very easy to work with and I would highly recommend him to friends and associates.

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.

Highly dedicated and diligent

I have been working with Jim Abrams for almost two years on a very complex employment issue. He has been one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated attorneys I have worked with in my over 28 years in business. Jim is able to quickly discern the importance of the many aspects of my case, develop a w...inning strategy, and execute that plan in a precise and thorough manner. I have worked with many attorneys in my business on a variety of projects and am continually pleased with Jim’s expertise and wide scope of knowledge. I am very impressed and grateful with his ability to protect and defend me. I will continue to recommend Jim to both employers and employees in the future because of the quality of his work, as well as his unfailing dedication to justice. The lawyers with whom I have worked also know Jim and respect him as a respectful and thorough advocate for his clients. I provide my number (303-324-4777) in the interest of assuring the validity of my endorsement.
