Out of the Beehive!

Jim worked hard to successfully settle a mediation with an unscrupulous employer. He was knowledgeable, supportive, combative when necessary, and great to work with. I hope I will never have to go through the pain and agony that was created by a company that didn't believe in paying loyal employees... for their hard work. Jim went out on a limb for me, and I will be forever grateful for his services. With this burden removed, I can move forward with the important things in my life.

James L Abrams is an Excellent Attorney

I sought out Mr. Abrams when I was laid off from a software company while on FMLA leave. I interviewed several attorneys and found Mr. Abrams to be by far the optimal choice, as so many of the others didn’t seem like they could be competent if the case went to trial. I fully trust Mr. Abrams based ...upon his professionalism and expertise and respect him for being empathetic, relatable, and amiable. I highly endorse Mr. Abrams and encourage anyone who has been discriminated against to fight for their rights and ensure that they are well represented by a stellar lawyer like Mr. Abrams.

Very knowledgeable; great guidance; scalable support

Jim provided outstanding counsel, guidance and support when I was terminated. He clearly has extensive expertise in employment law and provided the right level of advice to help me fight for my rights and just the right amount of support for the situation. He was there for me every step of the way,... but at the same time I felt he was very aware that I needed to be careful with how much I was spending for legal advice.

Wonderful atty.

I was freaking out when I received a letter from unemployment saying I owed over 20,000$ I called Jim and right away after hearing my story he took my case. I was high risk I am a stay at home mom and have limited income. I was in tears I was so scared. Jim spoke to me on the phone and told me we had... a hearing in a couple of weeks. The day came, I couldn't stop crying. He was very re assuring and told me exactly what to say and do. I felt confident that things were going to be ok. The hearing began..I still was crying.. Jim continued to re assure me things would be ok. ( it's nice to know he is a caring person and does not look at you as a bad person) the hearing was over. And I had to wait two weeks for an answer. I finally got it in the mail....Thank you God!!! Thank you Jim for helping me through all this. It was all dismissed and I owed nothing.

Unemployment Appeal Case

James Abrams, Ph.D., J.D. represented me in an unemployment appeal case. Mr. Abrams expertise surpassed my expectations by winning my contested unemployment appeal case. I would highly recommend him to represent anyone in need of excellent representation. He was a pleasure to work with and a very ...caring and understanding person. I could have never won my case without him. Thank You Jim for the outcome as they would have eating me alive without your vast knowledge.
