My recommendation for James L Abrams

Here is Jim Abrams "helped" me: Mr. Abrams brilliantly represented me in an EEOC matter. Jim and cocounsel helped my wife and I regain our footing after I was injured due to the willful negligence of a couple of restaurants. My wife and I hold Mr. Abrams in the highest regard. TB

The best labor lawyer in Colorado.

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.

The attorney for you!

Mr. Abrams's attentiveness to my Unemployment Appeal Hearing was handled with thoughtfulness and diligence. I was impressed with his knowledge of the law, prep for the case and how he assisted me with preparing my information. I would highly recommend Mr. Abrams to anyone in need of legal council.

Lawyer Extraordinaire!

Met and exceeded my expectations. Promptly acts on items, keeps clients in the loop, and advocates for the underdog. Genuine, sincere, and assertive with a "failure is not an option" attitude. Easily able to picture himself in the client's shoes and displays an empathy for people of various backg...rounds and means, a rare find in today's society and certainly among attorneys. With shared responsibility between client and Mr. Abrams, successful outcomes are virutally assured. Would highly and specially recommend for disputes involving government agencies in which one can feel overwhelmed.

Knowledge and Passion.

"Expertise" is the best word to describe what you get by choosing Jim Abrams. Jim is a likable, compassionate, person who genuinely cares about the people he represents; which is calming. In the heat of battle he has the ability, knowledge, and passion to think and act strategically for your be...nefit. I am confident that the positive outcome of my situation is due to the preparation and professional acumen of Mr. Abrams. I would wholeheartedly recommend you engage him as your advocate.
