WE WON THE UNEMPLOYMENT APPEAL!!!!!

Thank God for Jim. After my application for unemployment was denied I needed to find someone to help me. However as I was working for and with attorneys, I knew I wouldn't be able to fight them on my own. Because of Jim's wonderful online reviews, I knew I had to at least ask him if I had a case. ... I emailed him on Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend and to my amazement, he read my email and called me immediately. Since then, I couldn't have asked for a better advocate, adviser or counselor. Jim advised me at every step and was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. The cost for Jim's services are incredibly reasonable. He really does work for the "average Joe." However he is experienced and knowledgeable while throwing in in a little comic relief when needed. At my unemployment appeal hearing he was professional, knowledgeable, and tenacious. I don't know that you can ask for more than that. My reputation and character were being trashed and because of Jim's help it has been restored. Thank you and God bless you Jim.

Jim Won My UI Appeal Hearing

This is the first time I've had to hire an attorney. I heard about him via word of mouth. My initial unemployment claim was denied. I sincerely felt I had a fighting chance to appeal, as my employer's treatment toward me caused me to voluntarily quit my job. Everyone says, "well, you can't get unempl...oyment because you quit." Every case in different! I URGE YOU to at least contact Jim to run your story by him. He'll be straight with you. My confidence to fight back increased tenfold after first meeting Jim Abrams. I put the whole thing in his hands, and in God's hands. Between the two of them, they totally came through for me with a full UI award. Nothing speaks like experience, and he has decades of it. Plus a background in corporate America from the employer's perspective, and in the military gives him the no-holds-barred stature he brought to the hearing. He is very professional and polite, and simultaneously relentless, detailed and thorough in his questioning of the other side. He really cares, and WILL bring to surface in the hearing that "there is an elephant in the room" and "the emperor has no clothes." Jim made me feel very comfortable on the phone, at his home office, and during our private prep time at the Department of Labor office before we went into the hearing room. I was in awe of his mastery of control, and language during the hearing. He took copious notes at the table, so he was always on top of things when it was his turn to speak for me. I would never, ever have been able to pursue retaining an attorney if it weren't for his very reasonable fees geared to the average person. Thank you so much, Jim, for assisting me in seeing that justice was done. I'll never forget your generosity of service to society.

James Abrams has your back for employment issues!!!

Don't suffer in silence any longer!!! I did for much too long as 2 of my former (abusive) employers were giving me bad references - even YEARS after I quit working for them!!! What did they have to gain by doing this? Who knows? But now they realize they have EVERYTHING to lose by giving out bad r...eferences to former employees. The sad part is, most former bosses don't abide by company policy and feel they are "above the law". This was happening to me and I decided to take action. I retained James Abrams who understood my problems as he has worked in employment law for many years. He swiftly took action and put a "muzzle" on my former bosses. He has competitive prices and will keep you informed every step of the way. Bottom line - Stand up, REFUSE to bend over any longer and FIGHT BACK. Mr. Abrams has your back and I can't thank him enough!.

UI Appeals Hearing legal help

Jim was a pleasure to work with in preparing for my Unemployment benefits appeals hearing. He is truly a subject matter expert on employee rights, employer misconduct and discharged workers' eligibility for Unemployment Benefits. I highly recommend him to anyone who has experienced mistreatment fro...m an employer (i.e. age discrimination, wrongful termination, sudden discharge). With 30+ years experience representing clients, Jim is a great asset to the Denver / Front Range region! Thanks to Jim's hard work and attention to detail, we won my UI Appeals hearing! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help in employment law cases.

"Victory for my Unemployment"

I recently had the opportunity to employ Mr. Abrams for a dispute with a past employer over my unemployment. Having Mr. Abrams for a legal advisor was definnetly to my advantage, and I was able to get a favorable verdict and outcome to my appeal hearing. Mr. Abrams legal counsel turned out to be an i...nvaluable e xperience, as he was very knowledgable and understanding of this process, and his preperation of me, pre-hearing, helped me have the confidence and ability to face my hearing without a lot of anxiety. In waiting for this unemployment hearing to take place, Mr. Abrams kept me informed, and when i had any questions, all i needed to do was call him via phone, and leave a message, or send him an e-mail message, and he never failed to get back with me. His responses were always prompt. Thanks Jim Abrams for all of your help, and I will always remember the lesson of "Beans up your nose." I would recommend Jim Abrams to anyone who is need of a competent attorney, and an attorney that has great experience in dealing with unemployment appeals. Written by Robt. D. 5/13/13.
