James Abrams

I am a health care professional that recently had an experience with employee bullying. I was not allowed, even when I asked, to explain what had been happening. I stuck up for myself and several others and I ended up being the one disciplined. I am not typically someone who would seek legal couns...el, but I felt very unprotected in this situation. It was highly recommended to me by my work place peers to get a lawyer. I did not have any idea how to even search. I ended up just googling "labor lawyers for health care professionals" and came across James Abrams name. I left him a message that was urgent as I was to have a meeting the next afternoon with my employer. James called me at 10pm and left a message. He called back at 06:00am and we met at 09:00! I explained my situation, which he documented in detail. In less than an hour, James finished a letter to my employer. I was a little frightened to have this letter sent. It was not threatening in any way, but I am just not the kind of person to seek a lawyer. James gave me the option to send it to them myself so he sent it to me as an email. He strongly advise that I send this letter for my own protection. I made the decision to send it and then met with my employer later that day. The meeting went very well and I was given a lot of respect for my concerns. I was informed by one of my peers that the manager had informed the staff I was returning the next and that I be given the utmost respect and not be asked any questions. My return to work was very comfortable and I was treated very well. I cannot thank James enough for seeing me on such short notice and taking my situation as serious. He is very kind and caring and I felt strongly that I could trust him. He is extremely knowledgeable in the rights of employees and taught me things I had never known.

For serious personnel issues, Mr. Abrams stays completely on point. He is thorough, detailed and uses objective analysis to define the best approach. He is mature and knowledgeable which keeps the client from making poor decisions. He outlines choices and their ramifications. He stays the course ...with a steady hand. When he needs to be aggressive, he does it. He also is able to measure his actions against the particular circumstances present in these cases. He represents his clients fiercely and fairly. He gets the job done sometimes painlessly. A true warrior brain trust.

Jim has been my attorney for several years. He has primarily been my go-to person for information and advice regarding unfair employment issues. Recently, I had to call upon Jim to represent me in a mediation. His experience was intimidating to the person who was planning to be the intimidator. But... he didn't need to do much else, his confident presence, his ability to know when to speak on my behalf and most importantly his support of me in the process was priceless.

Dr. Abrams did not beat around the bush. He was forthwright, tenacious, and unswayable! He came out with professional guns blazing and won my unemployment for me! He was fun to watch, you could see his "wheels" engaging while he found the correct questions to ask. Though I was scared to death, he too...k charge and made all well! I recommend anyone who needs GREAT representation to contact Dr. Abrams! He is my hero, I would have lost my house if it weren't for him!!!!
