The best in his profession

I hired Jim in Abrams back January to handle what I felt was a wrongful termination. Despite my best efforts, I was sabotaging my own case, Jim re-centered me and kept matters on track. Frankly, you won't find anyone with the broad experience and strategies used by this attorney. We were involved... with the Company and two separate agencies in a highly regulated industry. I had a better than expected outcome financially and had my record corrected to assist me in moving forward. To be honest, I’ll miss Jim as we were able to share a laugh or two over the past 4 months. If you need a smart and experienced attorney, hire Jim Abrams, you won’t be disappointed.

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

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.

Dedicated, trustworthy and committed to his clients

Mr. Abrams has helped make an overwhelming situation feel manageable; he has shown his dedication to my case over the past year and I know when I call him and ask a question he will respond. I finally found a lawyer who has my best interest and who I can totally trust. I have hired lawyers in the pa...st who were unreliable, didn’t follow through and I am so relieved to also have a lawyer who is passionate about justice and is determined to make sure that the company I was fired from unfairly pays for what they did to me.

Unfairly Fired

We selected Jim to address a discharge which was terribly unfair. The employer fabricated various reasons I was entitled to be fired. Jim went above and beyond of what we asked or expected of him and I had a great outcome . The employer learned its lesson. Don't think twice about having Jim on y...our side.
