5 Star Service

I have been a client for 4 years having issues at my place of employment regarding harassment, hostile work environment, discrimination regarding medical issues among other things. James listened to my issues in 2012 and it calmed down after a stern letter to the Company from him. When the issues r...eturned at an alarming rate, I contacted James because he knew the history and I knew I could trust him. It has been 2 years since my termination and we are in the appeal process. James has continued to handle my case with care and concern. I was impressed with him in regards to how he prepared my case, consulting with me every step of the way. He respected my condition and the after effects of chemo explaining everything to me in terms I understood. James is not afraid to stand up for what is right and he has always done the right thing by me. He is not intimidated by anyone in the system. He is someone I have trusted for 4 years. I do not know how my case will turn out, but I will be forever thankful to James. His diligence, integrity, knowledge of the law, and an attitude to do the right thing by his client makes him the best person to have next to you in a hearing. Donna

Excellent assist with a very favorable outcome

My employer mistreated me which put me in a bad spot, financially and emotionally. Jim was my first call after I sustained an injury and eventually the loss of my job. He accompanied me every step of the way, conveying to the employer that it was leaving us no choice other than a courtroom. I have a ...serious disorder and my employer tried to take advantage of me. We resolved my case after the employer concluded that Jim was not going to go away. I will remember and refer Jim unconditionally.

Justice First

My employer mistreated me after over 2 decades of service. I am blind. Jim Abrams took me through a grueling 2 day trial. There's no one quite like this attorney. He refused to take any money. I will never forget this man. He is like no one you will ever meet. He exceeded every possible expectation I... had and was a blessing in my and my family's life.

James L Abrams is an Excellent Attorney

I sought out Mr. Abrams when I was laid off from a software company while on FMLA leave. I interviewed several attorneys and found Mr. Abrams to be by far the optimal choice, as so many of the others didn’t seem like they could be competent if the case went to trial. I fully trust Mr. Abrams based ...upon his professionalism and expertise and respect him for being empathetic, relatable, and amiable. I highly endorse Mr. Abrams and encourage anyone who has been discriminated against to fight for their rights and ensure that they are well represented by a stellar lawyer like Mr. Abrams.

UI Appeals Hearing legal help

Jim was a pleasure to work with in preparing for my Unemployment benefits appeals hearing. He is truly a subject matter expert on employee rights, employer misconduct and discharged workers' eligibility for Unemployment Benefits. I highly recommend him to anyone who has experienced mistreatment fro...m an employer (i.e. age discrimination, wrongful termination, sudden discharge). With 30+ years experience representing clients, Jim is a great asset to the Denver / Front Range region! Thanks to Jim's hard work and attention to detail, we won my UI Appeals hearing! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help in employment law cases.
