Outstanding & Professional

My husband and I met with Jim last month. We were facing a life changing decision between questionable termination of employment and rights for Social Security Disability. Jim provided us a checklist of items that need to be researched to the best resolution for us. Jim's knowledge and experience ...was quickly apparent. He treated us with respect and never pushed his retainer for services. That was my past experience - get the check book out! We highly recommend Jim - he will care about you.

Excellent lawyer

Jim Abrams did an excellent job of representing me in a discharge without cause hearing before the CDLE and we are awaiting the decision of the hearing officer. He is well-versed in employment/labor law, is quick on his feet and knows how to utilize the testimony of the opposing side to prove our ca...se. In addition, Jim's great sense of humor while prepping me for the hearing really helped me to relax. Bravo Zulu! Thanks Jim!

Very knowledgeable; great guidance; scalable support

Jim provided outstanding counsel, guidance and support when I was terminated. He clearly has extensive expertise in employment law and provided the right level of advice to help me fight for my rights and just the right amount of support for the situation. He was there for me every step of the way,... but at the same time I felt he was very aware that I needed to be careful with how much I was spending for legal advice.

UI Appeals Hearing legal help

Jim was a pleasure to work with in preparing for my Unemployment benefits appeals hearing. He is truly a subject matter expert on employee rights, employer misconduct and discharged workers' eligibility for Unemployment Benefits. I highly recommend him to anyone who has experienced mistreatment fro...m an employer (i.e. age discrimination, wrongful termination, sudden discharge). With 30+ years experience representing clients, Jim is a great asset to the Denver / Front Range region! Thanks to Jim's hard work and attention to detail, we won my UI Appeals hearing! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help in employment law cases.

Luca, you are SO cool....

Attorney Abrams has many good qualities as an attorney and as a person. One of the many things I was impressed with was his willingness to listen and hear me out. I came to him because I was denied UI compensation. After listening to my case, he asked me if I wanted him to take my disability compl...aint which I didn’t even think I had. Not only did Jim Abrams recover my UI benefits, he also won my disability complaint and due to his knowledge and understanding of the system he also recovered maximum settlement from a former employer who mismanaged my termination. His qualities include integrity and empathy. He seeks justice and is able to maneuver through an unjust system without too much ado. He is a tiger in a hearing and has the ability to go for the jugular. He is very educated. If you look at his resume, one will realize that by calling on him, you are calling on one of the best. I am so glad to have Attorney Abrams on my side.
