Dr. Abrams is amazing!

Our daughter, this past month, retained Dr. Abrams to review her "out of state" Employment Contract. Dr. Abrams provided "down to earth" / "common sense" legal guidance. Unlike other legal counsel, our daughter could speak in layman's language, and Dr. Abrams responded quickly and effectively. Our da...ughter asked Dr. Abrams if it was OKAY to allow her parents to participate in discussions, and Dr. Abrams was more than pleased to allow Mom and Dad to join in discussions. As a family, we can not say enough positives about working with Dr. Abrams on our daughter's new Employment Contract. Donna & Pat

Highly Recommend

I hired Jim to represent me in a contested, adversarial hearing. He is a beast in the courtroom. He is extremely knowledgeable and great at what he does. I highly recommend hiring him, especially if you're dealing with an employer who terminated you without justifiable grounds.

Knowledgeable, honest, and very helpful employment lawyer

Jim was great to work with! He is very honest and no-nonsense, which we very much appreciated. He responded quickly to our very time-sensitive employment needs. He made time for us and provided much needed insight, knowledge, and guidance through a challenging employment situation. He has a lot of wi...sdom to share and a great sense of humor, which was very needed. He even checked in after all was over, to make sure everything was okay.

Highly skilled

I had lost my job after a dedicated 27 years with a company and found myself with no income and a denial of Unemployment benefits. I felt like something was wrong with the system and I should be granted my full benefits. I did not want to attempt to conquer an appeals hearing on my own so reached out... to Jim Abrams as he came highly recommended from a colleague. May I mention he personally answered my phone call and also happened to be after hours but was fully willing to talk to me. Jim was brutally honest with what we were up against and made me feel zero pressure to hire him. Ultimately I knew I wanted to be represented by Jim and given all his experience and track record, he made me feel confident. when all said and done, what I thought would be slim to none on winning the hearing... Jim made it happen! I do not feel it was just "a win", I feel it was a "Slam dunk win". I certainly could not have done this on my own. I give Jim all the credit in the world for what he did for me and thank him a ton! I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Jim without hesitation!!

Unemployment Win

Jim was an amazing person to work with. He was quickly able to work with me and solved my issue completely. My previous company ended up giving me exactly what I wanted thanks to him. He is a very personable, empathetic, and honest man to work with and I would absolutely work with him again.
