Excellent lawyer & upstanding gentleman! I highly recommend him.

Jim is an outstanding person and professional. He is a very accomplished lawyer and a hardworking person who helped me through a complex multi-state unemployment benefits issue with the state of Colorado. His in-depth legal knowledge and savvy helped me tremendously. He guided me through the process ...of appealing three redeterminations, and the hearings that followed. He was upfront and honest about costs, responsive about any questions that I had, and did a great job helping me to prepare for my hearings. We were successful in appealing all three of my redeterminations! I wouldn't have been able to do it without Jim! I am so grateful to him for his hard work, and straight forward business style. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for legal aid in labor and employment law.

I was in danger of losing my employment with a law enforcement agency. I hired Jim to help me. It would have been a financial disaster had I lost my job. Jim charged me very little. He initially met with me and later prepared me for the hearing, came to the hearing location with me [and took charge i...n the hearing] and stopped the agency from firing me. He was committed to my welfare. A wonderful outcome for me. I don't know if it was luck or some greater power but I couldn't be happier. My recommendation: Hire Jim!

Best experience I've ever had with an attorney....

Jim is opposite of the typical attorney. His attention to the human factor and being able to dissect every aspect of the case is impeccable. His interaction with OSHA on our behalf was incredible and ended in the best possible outcome that we could have imagined. Jim's expertise in so many aspect...s of the law gave me peace of mind and I was able to continue to run my company knowing I had the best representative in my corner. At the end of the case, Jim is still on board helping us create better safety nets for my company. He will be an amazing asset for us as we move forward. So grateful.

Highly recommend Jim Abrams

We own a small business and were audited by the department of labor who determined we owed back taxes for unemployment insurance and penalties. We hired Jim Abrams and never looked back. Jim has been nothing short of amazing in his representation of us during our hearing which lasted several days. Th...is case endangered our business , family and livelihoods. At the conclusion of the case , the government's auditor stated that he had never faced anyone as good as Jim. We won that case and it was an incredible relief. I can recommend no one better than Jim Abrams.

Simply the Best!

A dispute with a federal agency led me to Jim, but not before sifting through several attorneys who took a cursory look at my case and offered lukewarm confidence in reaching resolution. Jim’s vigorous approach and amazing degree of intellect in developing on-point legal theories saw quick results ...with extremely favorable terms. The agency rapidly retreated as Jim’s legal knowledge handily trumped theirs. His tenacity and unyielding efforts greatly benefited me. Many are ordinary; Jim is extraordinary.
