I won my unemployment appeal thanks for Jim!

Jim was wonderful, and I don't think I would have won my case without his help. He was very knowledgable and talked to me about my case with great details, so I felt comfortable with what to expect in the hearing. He was realiable and helped with my questions and concerns leading up to the appeal. ... I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has a similar situation.

"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.

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.

GREAT ATTORNEY! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Jim is working on a wrongful termination case for me regarding a Facebook posting. My former employer denied my unemployment, but Jim helped me win the appeal. This is only the beginning of how he will help me win my case with my former employer.

Job Well Done

I found myself needing legal representation for an unexpected unemployment appeals hearing. My former employer was denying my claim to receive benefits. I came across Mr. Abrams name on the internet, his credentials and experience impressed me. After meeting with him in person to discuss the detai...ls of my case, I was suddenly terminated after 23 years for making a mistake. Fellow employees were not terminated after their errors were caught and corrected. It is my belief that I was terminated under the veil of downsizing after my new manager was given access to information about personnel salaries. Mr. Abrams contested their points professionally and passionately and I am happy to report that the appeals judge ruled in my favor. Mr. Abrams is a personable and experienced lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone requiring legal counsel and representation.
