James Abrams

Jim was very helpful when I hired him to deal with my employment termination. He gave good advice about what I could reasonably expect to receive from my ex-employer. He improved my termination agreement and helped me to improve my financial settlement. He was very conscious about keeping his fees a...s low as possible for me.

Mr. Abrams assisted me with a hearing and also a helped work out an agreement with my employer. I was pleased with the results, I was able to achieve a much better agreement than I ever could have achieved by myself. It was the best money I ever spent. Mr. Abrams gave me a better value for the money ...than other lawyers I have dealt with. I feel that Mr. Abrams is the best labor lawyer in Colorado, and one of the foremost labor lawyers in the United States. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He also is direct, if he cannot help you he will not lead you on and try to get money from you for representing a case he feels he cannot win. It became apparent during a meeting with Mr. Abrams and my employer that my employer both respected and feared Mr. Abrams. Mr. Abrams told my employer that they had violated my rights as an employee, and had violated their own guidelines in my case. I think they knew that Mr. Abrams could cause them a lot of grief if they did not come to the table with an acceptable offer. Mr. Abrams is both fierce and formidable when dealing with an employer, but he is open to compromise if it will benefit his client. He also shows a rare quality of having compassion for his client, which is out of character for most attorneys in my experience. Most attorneys say a lot of Mumbo -Jumbo, do little to really help you, followed by a large bill for their services, leaving you feeling like you were ripped off. Mr. Abrams delivers for his clients real value for the money spent. And employers know that Mr. Abrams will punish them legally if they have violated the rights of their employees. I feel that Mr. Abrams status in the labor law community is such that you should consider yourself fortunate if he agrees to represent you, I am not aware of a better labor lawyer. If the chips are down, Mr. Abrams is the guy you want in your corner.

Jim Abrams cared about what my family was going through and did not charge an outrageous rate to help me with my unemployment hearing. He truly is compassionate about people's lives and fought for what was right. I would highly recommend Jim for anybody going through a labor dispute. He followed thro...ugh with everything he said he would do and more. Very knowledgeable in labor laws. I would have been lost in court without him.

I used google's search engine to find an attorney to help with my unemployment benefits. My former employer contested my eligibility for benefits and I felt I needed an attorney to help me in my hearing. After speaking with 2 other firms and realizing I was in store for as much as $350/hour, I call...ed Mr. Abrams. Jim indicated he charged a $500 flat fee and the other firms were comedians. I am glad I went with the less expensive option as this hearing was a routine one. Jim was well prepared and asked the right questions. He is not the type of person who responds to every email or phone call but he has this down to a science so trust him. He eventually makes sure you are well prepared and eases the anxiety. I would recommend hiring him if your budget is tight or you just need a little extra help.
