Said he would represent me , wouldn't allow me to talk it over with my wife. Stole $260 from me at my lowest point.

I set up a consult with JIM. Although on his website it says the Consultation is free. I met him at his home office and paid him $260 to speak about my case. Jim spent the entire time (1 hour) typing on his computer and didn't look over any of my case. I still thought I was going to move forward ...with him , Just needed to speak with my spouse about the options. Jim apparently was offended that I didn't sign his contract immediately so he booked another case then emailed me telling me he would no longer represent me. (this is all in less than 24 hours.) JIM STOLE $260 FROM ME AFTER HEARING THE TERRIBLE FINANCIAL SITUATION I WAS IN. He lied about being willing to take my case. THIS MAN WILL MISLEAD YOU ABOUT WHO HE IS AND WHAT HES WILLING TO DO FOR YOU.

We identified this individual after a period of time. He is an individual who presented himself in an intoxicated state. He was informed in advance that there was no charge to discuss his matter over the phone but if he came in for an appointment there was a charge. He was provided substantial services; no attorney would provide such information on a complimentary basis. He also appeared without the required fee. He was reminded that this was a fee bearing meeting at the commencement of the meeting. While he was provided with an unsigned fee agreement, we decided that he could not be provided legal services given his substance abuse and lack of credibility. He then became enraged and fabricated facts. Attorneys are no different than any other business or profession in having the right to decline service.

Beyond Extraordinary!!

​I have worked with and for many attorneys over a 23-year period. I did not think I'd need to utilize one for myself - but I did. I was so fortunate to meet Jim Abrams. There's no attorney who is as selfless as this man. I worked with him on two fixed-fee matters that went far beyond what any attorne...y with whom I've worked would do. I know he made no money given how these two matters expanded from minor disputes into major actions. Jim did not complain or do anything other than to serve me honorably. I cannot say enough about his work on my behalf, all successful.

Wonderful Encounter!!!!!

I sought counsel from Jim Abrams for an employment problem. I must say that I hesitated based on one review amongst dozens of exceptional ones. I asked Mr. Abrams about this and he explained that, while he has not identified the individual trying to hurt him, there are attorneys who have experienced ...similar attacks after declining a case or advising a potential client that their case is not one of interest to the attorney. Mr. Abrams explained that while he had not confirmed the identity of the author, he did have one potential client that he recently declined to represent. That client was intoxicated when he spoke to Mr. Abrams. There were other attributes concerning that person which he could not share. As for my experience, it was an 11 on a 10 scale. I followed his advice and as a result, am transitioning from a difficult employer to a place where I know I will be happy and able to sleep at night with a separation from my last employment that was not unpleasant.. I am grateful that I found Jim Abrams. And, Mr. Abrams did not request that I write this review. I asked him if could before sharing my experience.

I was in danger of losing my employment with a law enforcement agency. I hired Jim to help me. It would have been a financial disaster had I lost my job. Jim charged me very little. He initially met with me and later prepared me for the hearing, came to the hearing location with me [and took charge i...n the hearing] and stopped the agency from firing me. He was committed to my welfare. A wonderful outcome for me. I don't know if it was luck or some greater power but I couldn't be happier. My recommendation: Hire Jim!

Excellent Counsel

Dr. Abrams did an excellent job with my case. He listened to all the facts and to my situation. Then talked with me candidly about the possibilities with my case. He made a very difficult situation easier and helped me to understand the system in which it’s handled. Dr. Abrams won my case and helped ...put me in a better situation.
