Best in Class Professional!

I was blessed to have the good fortune to be consulted by Mr. Jame Abrams to assist me in an employment settlement matter. He was very timely and responsive, brought forward strategic thinking, analytical skills, and creativity. He was extremely pleasant to work with, moreover - compassionate, and wa...s demonstrative in his scholarly writing resulting in a winning work product. Mr. Abrams is clear expert labor and employment attorney, whom I will continue to highly recommend to others!

James Abrams has saved my career

Mr. Abrams is one of the most caring and professional people I have ever had the good fortune to meet and work with. Mr. Abrams went above and beyond to protect my professional career which was in jeopardy due to a very, shall I say, extremely unprofessional person who was attempting to have me char...ged with an offense that I was totally innocent of. Mr. Abrams has worked extremely diligently and in a steadfast manner that I would highly recommend to anyone who finds themselves in a falsely accused situation. And I will also say that Mr. Abrams has a personality that is overwhelmingly confident and truly makes you feel that you are going to make it through whatever terrible situation that you find yourself thrust into. Mr. Abrams has saved not only my professional career but my family as well, as this situation has proven to be extremely stressful for all concerned. I recommend him highly.

A True Professional. Words Do No Justice.

Mr. Abrams came to our family's aid one Saturday evening. We were experiencing serious civil rights violations from a local organisation, and didn't know where to turn. Mr. Abrams contacted us quickly and spoke with us the next day. He gave us great advice and pointed us into the right direction on h...ow to proceed. Mr. Abrams listened diligently, with compassion and interest, and reassured us that this outrage would be rectified. We did our homework, Mr. Abrams did his, and he delivered the results that we were hoping. I am proud to have met Mr. Abrams, as he has brought our family back together. All I can say is Thank You and, again, words do no justice to express the gratitude that we have for "Jim."

An Outstanding Attorney

I am pleased to unconditionally recommend Jim Abrams. He went above and beyond to help me address a workplace bullying situation of which I was the target. Jim also reduced his fee to assure I did not interact with my employer without counsel. He cares about his clients.  He's  a gifted communicat...or and assisted me with a written submission that powerfully conveyed my position to my employer. I'd never hesitate to contact him again for any legal assistance I might need.

Responsive, professional, and compassionate

Jim helped me negotiate an at-will separation agreement with my former employer after I was laid off from a mid-senior management role. His service was absolutely extraordinary. I appreciated his reasonable, flat consultation rate, which allowed us to talk about my situation without undue time pressu...re. This seemed like a smart approach for Jim too, since my budget would not limit his ability to spend time exploring issues to find out if I had a potentially valuable case. I thought Jim's personal attention and generosity might come to an abrupt end when it became clear that I had only a modest case, so I was pleasantly surprised when his attentiveness remained exactly the same after our initial consultation. He continued to answer my follow-up questions promptly, returned my phone calls, and consistently showed compassion. It was obvious that Jim not only has the legal expertise you would expect from someone of his credentials and experience, but also appreciates the psychological distress his clients face when dealing with difficult circumstances. Jim is really top-notch, and I would recommend him any day.
