James Abrams

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.

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.

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.

I retained Jim after other attorneys advised me my case was hopeless. We had a tough, lengthy hearing against my former employer. I honestly did not think we could win. I was extremely nervous about the process until I met with Jim. Not only did he put me at ease the first time we met, but I was amaz...ed how Jim took charge of the proceeding and we ultimately prevailed. His command of the courtroom was obvious and the judge was very deferential to Jim. The employer knew it was in trouble as soon as Jim started talking. It was all over about a quarter of the way into the hearing. The strategy Jim decided upon was followed perfectly.

After an 18 year career I was terminated without notice based on a horrible exaggeration. To make matters worse, my employer fights every unemployment case as a general policy, regardless of the reason for termination. In my case, it meant that my family lost income and health insurance for three ...months while we waited to go through an appeal process. I researched and interviewed several Denver area unemployment lawyers and ultimately chose to hire Jim based on his interview. He seemed to have a tremendous wealth of both knowledge and experience. Furthermore, he seemed to be well connected with the people in the industry, but at the same time he had a great desk-side manner. He was able to answer even the simplest and most repetitive questions of mine. He never spoke to me in a demeaning manner, and he was always willing to answer questions from my husband, even if he had already answered them. He welcomed me into his home for a pre-hearing meeting. He answered my telephone calls when I had questions both before and after the hearing. He met me at the hearing in enough advance time to prepare for the hearing again. The result? We won our appeal in record time. My former employer didn't even show up to the hearing, probably because they were aware that they were up against more than they could handle. The hearing was over in 15 minutes and I received confirmation of our successful ruling in four days. Jim was even willing to give me some advice about how to proceed with regard to my employment search after our successful appeal was completed. In short, Jim Abrams seems like the perfect Ace in the Hole when you are in need of an unemployment lawyer.
