Best Lawyer You Can Ever Hire

I needed help with an employment issue when I was forced out of my job. Mr. Abrams helped me get a settlement on the monies they owed me and even got rid of my non-compete agreement. He is fast, fair and knowledgeable about how the system works especially unemployment and was able to get my problem... swiftly resolved exceeding my expectations. If there were 10 stars he would have my vote!

Transition planning - helping me get fair treatment from my employer

Jim, was the consummate professional. He helped me negotiate a separation agreement which worked for me and my employer. He coached me and guided me on a path which averted legal action. My employer knew that I had an attorney because of the tone and expertise reflected in the documents. His knowled...ge and background is powerful. His integrity is reflected in all that he does. He gave excellent counsel and was interested in my case.

Highly professional, sharp, clear and thorough.

Mr. Abrams is a pleasure to work with. He clearly and thoroughly explained the law as it pertained to our case. He then composed an excellent letter that made it clear to a fraudulent contractor that we meant business. I would highly recommend Mr. Abrams to anyone seeking justice.

Saves my backside and helps me grow

I am a physician, and have worked with Jim Abrams on various contract, employment and professional / business development negotiations over the past six years. Each time, I have come away from the experience both very satisfied with the outcome, and having learned a lot -- about myself, about effecti...ve communication and negotiation, about building strong professional relationships (and gracefully exiting ones that no longer fulfill both parties), and about how to achieve my aims (and strive for even more!) with both integrity and power. Jim's wealth of deep knowledge across law, business, psychology, healthcare, philosophy and beyond (he is a true 21st century renaissance man!) has inspired me and often saved me from costly and time-consuming mis-steps. Hiring Jim is a great investment for the sort of client who is intelligent, looking to learn and grow through each experience, and committed to excellence and integrity. I have found working with Jim to be far faster, more powerful and more cost-effective than hiring a standardized legal service, a professional coach, an HR consultant, a therapist and taking post-grad enrichment courses. If you want to be your best (personally and professionally), surround yourself with partners and experts who are at their best, and you will learn to soar. Whether you are exiting a situation which does not support and honor your excellence, or building a new endeavor based on that excellence, Jim Abrams is the attorney to have on your team.

Great advice at a reasonable price

Jim was very helpful when I hired him to deal with my employment termination. He gave good advice about what I could reasonably expect to receive from my ex-employer. He improved my termination agreement and helped me to improve my financial settlement. He was very conscious about keeping his fees a...s low as possible for me.
