Highly skilled

I had lost my job after a dedicated 27 years with a company and found myself with no income and a denial of Unemployment benefits. I felt like something was wrong with the system and I should be granted my full benefits. I did not want to attempt to conquer an appeals hearing on my own so reached out... to Jim Abrams as he came highly recommended from a colleague. May I mention he personally answered my phone call and also happened to be after hours but was fully willing to talk to me. Jim was brutally honest with what we were up against and made me feel zero pressure to hire him. Ultimately I knew I wanted to be represented by Jim and given all his experience and track record, he made me feel confident. when all said and done, what I thought would be slim to none on winning the hearing... Jim made it happen! I do not feel it was just "a win", I feel it was a "Slam dunk win". I certainly could not have done this on my own. I give Jim all the credit in the world for what he did for me and thank him a ton! I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Jim without hesitation!!

Simply the Best!

I needed an attorney to help guide me through an unemployment claim where I had been wrongly denied benefits. Mr. Abrams was responsive and professional; helping guide me through the legal system. He has such vast knowledge. He knew the right questions to ask, and was able to clearly articulate t...o the hearing officer our stance. He was was able to help me arrive at a full lump sum unemployment benefit after my last hearing. I would not have gotten that result without his assistance and assurances. If I ever run into another issue that requires an attorney, Mr. Abrams will be my first contact!!

Employment Contract Concerns

I had many concerns regarding an employment contract. Mr. Abrams went through the contract with me line by line, and explained all discrepancies found and answered all of my questions. Without his guidance, I wouldn't have been able to renegotiate my wages, and address illegal components within the ...contract.

Best attorney in Colorado

Mr. Abrams was responsive throughout my case. Communication is key, and Mr. Abrams listened to all of my concerns, was expedient in all of his responses to my inquiries and explained to me all probable options and outcomes. His professionalism and years of experience became obvious during my hearing.... I am very happy and thankful for the outcome! If you need a competent attorney to assist you in an adversarial proceeding, I highly recommend you hire Mr. Abrams.

Excellent attorney

After calling around to local law firms, I started to feel like I was on my own--that if I couldn't demonstrate big money was at stake, then they didn't want to talk to me. And then I called James Abrams -- we need more people like James Abrams! I finally felt heard, like my case mattered, and we a...ctually had a person-to-person, intelligent and detailed conversation about it. (He has a wonderful sense of humor, too!) Mr. Abrams is very knowledgeable on the subject and knows exactly how to set a strategic plan in motion. In short order I understood what I needed to do and how to move forward.
