Phenomenal lawyer!!

I had never needed to use a lawyer but in 2014, I needed one as my employed discriminated against me. I was terrified because I had heard so many horror stories from others in regards to their use of lawyers. But I was determined to find the right lawyer for me and my case. When I found Mr Abrams I w...as very pleased to find a lawyer that had outstanding reviews but he was also very personable and honest. Honesty is key! After a long 1 1/2 years we finally settled my case and Mr Abrams assured me that we'd come out on top, and we did! I am eternally grateful that Mr Abrams chose to represent me! I have referred him to several friends and family and I have nothing but good things to say about him. Thank you Mr Abrams!!

5-Star Employment Attorney

Jim represented me against my former employer. From our first meeting, Jim was upfront, honest, professional and articulate. He is a seasoned professional. Due to his in depth knowledge and expertise with employment law, we won! I would recommend no other, than Jim.

HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENTCASE

I was lucky to have James Abrams as my attorney. He is an excellent lawyer and I give my highest recommendation. He is honest, straightforward and confident. He was extremely responsive to all my communication and was always available to answer all my questions and phone calls. I was being harassed a...nd discriminated in a hostile work environment. He analyzed my case thoroughly. His expertise in work harassment and discrimination led to a favorable outcome for me. He is tenacious, during what had turned out to be an endurance contest. We persuaded the employer it was in for a fight and big legal bills, it then decided to mediate and settle the case. You will also have the privilege to meet Sadie his Golden doodle, Sadie is the most loving "assistant" any client could hope for. You would be lucky to have Jim advocate for you.

Responsive, professional, and compassionate

Jim helped me negotiate an at-will separation agreement with my former employer after I was laid off from a mid-senior management role. His service was absolutely extraordinary. I appreciated his reasonable, flat consultation rate, which allowed us to talk about my situation without undue time pressu...re. This seemed like a smart approach for Jim too, since my budget would not limit his ability to spend time exploring issues to find out if I had a potentially valuable case. I thought Jim's personal attention and generosity might come to an abrupt end when it became clear that I had only a modest case, so I was pleasantly surprised when his attentiveness remained exactly the same after our initial consultation. He continued to answer my follow-up questions promptly, returned my phone calls, and consistently showed compassion. It was obvious that Jim not only has the legal expertise you would expect from someone of his credentials and experience, but also appreciates the psychological distress his clients face when dealing with difficult circumstances. Jim is really top-notch, and I would recommend him any day.

Jim Abrams believes in the "Do No Harm" principle.

When bad things happen to good people, it was by pure happenstance that I met with James (Jim) Abrams. Jim has a sharp sense of reading people and adjusting accordingly to put them at ease when they are in the most difficult of situations. He listens with a compassionate ear, he evaluates and st...rategizes on how best to move forward for a specific situation and tailors that process accordingly to the individual. As a veteran in his field, he holds a wealth of knowledge and experience extending beyond but not limited to psychology, philosophy and business practices. To date, he has been tenacious in dealing with my employer and the ongoing case after having since been terminated. He is dedicated, courteous, professional, industrious, honest and passionate about defending those who have been unjustly wronged. Because he believes in the "Do No Harm" principle, he firmly deals with those who dishonor it. I can honestly say that I am beyond honored to know Jim - as my attorney who will work tirelessly to command and negotiate the best possible outcome; and as a person, he is of the highest quality and character.
