Advocates for employees

I found myself needing an attorney during an unexpected professional transition. Jim agreed to represent me, even outside of his typical process. He was/is very passionate about the rights of employees and helped get more than what I was originally offered. In a world where there isn't always someone... to fight for the "little guy", I'm glad Jim was willing.

Work related

I call Jim" regarding a work related issue on a pass conviction that was 17 years ago and I was under investigation for something that happened 17 years ago. Jim, wrote a powerful letter to my employer about my conviction that was more than seven years ago. Which is also the outside period For ...utilizing one's pass for the justice system in a trial. And the state is not barring those form employment with their past. My investigation is over' and now I can move on with my job with peace of mind knowing that this man helped me; save my job in every way.. Thank you Jim :-)

Helped Me Win Unemployment Claim

When I was devastated and at a loss of what to do, Jim helped me to win my unemployment claim which was previously denied by a former employer. He was reassuring and helped guide me though the appeal process with confidence. He was honest, upfront, ans assertive in his tactics. I am glad to have h...ad Jim to help me fight the injustice which I fell prey to from my former employer.

Excellent lawyer

Jim Abrams did an excellent job of representing me in a discharge without cause hearing before the CDLE and we are awaiting the decision of the hearing officer. He is well-versed in employment/labor law, is quick on his feet and knows how to utilize the testimony of the opposing side to prove our ca...se. In addition, Jim's great sense of humor while prepping me for the hearing really helped me to relax. Bravo Zulu! Thanks Jim!

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.
