James Abrams has your back for employment issues!!!

Don't suffer in silence any longer!!! I did for much too long as 2 of my former (abusive) employers were giving me bad references - even YEARS after I quit working for them!!! What did they have to gain by doing this? Who knows? But now they realize they have EVERYTHING to lose by giving out bad r...eferences to former employees. The sad part is, most former bosses don't abide by company policy and feel they are "above the law". This was happening to me and I decided to take action. I retained James Abrams who understood my problems as he has worked in employment law for many years. He swiftly took action and put a "muzzle" on my former bosses. He has competitive prices and will keep you informed every step of the way. Bottom line - Stand up, REFUSE to bend over any longer and FIGHT BACK. Mr. Abrams has your back and I can't thank him enough!.

Excellent Lawyer

Mr. Abrams took on my unemployment case for a flat fee of $500. I had my doubts at first as most of my interactions with lawyers have proven them to be untrustworthy and greedy. Mr. Abrams turned out to be an excellent lawyer and a good person. My case took 4 hearings but in the end my case prevai...led due to Mr. Abrams knowledge of the law. I would HIGHLY recommend Jim Abrams both as a lawyer and as an upstanding individual.

A job well done

I am so glad to have had Jim on my side. He made sure that the right result happened. I will always refer him as well as request his assistance in the future should I ever need. Thank you Jim

i would have been lost without him!

Jim Abrams cared about what my family was going through and did not charge an outrageous rate to help me with my unemployment hearing. He truly is compassionate about people's lives and fought for what was right. I would highly recommend Jim for anybody going through a labor dispute. He followed thro...ugh with everything he said he would do and more. Very knowledgeable in labor laws. I would have been lost in court without him.

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.
