The Best

I hired Mr. Abrams in 2003 to represent me with my employer at the time. I spoke with Mr. Abrams on the phone immediately and scheduled consultation. Mr. Abrams is a brilliant, completely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. He knows what is the best path for your specific issue and will guide yo...u correctly, even if litigation is not the best process for your specific case. The best in employment law.

James Abrams has saved my career

Mr. Abrams is one of the most caring and professional people I have ever had the good fortune to meet and work with. Mr. Abrams went above and beyond to protect my professional career which was in jeopardy due to a very, shall I say, extremely unprofessional person who was attempting to have me char...ged with an offense that I was totally innocent of. Mr. Abrams has worked extremely diligently and in a steadfast manner that I would highly recommend to anyone who finds themselves in a falsely accused situation. And I will also say that Mr. Abrams has a personality that is overwhelmingly confident and truly makes you feel that you are going to make it through whatever terrible situation that you find yourself thrust into. Mr. Abrams has saved not only my professional career but my family as well, as this situation has proven to be extremely stressful for all concerned. I recommend him highly.

Jim Abrams Recommendation

I was the President of a Human Resources Company and I was searching for an attorney to help with a labor issue. I recently had a conversation with a friend who owned a large oil and gas company about a similar issue he just completed. I asked him to recommend his attorney and instead he said "I wish... I had the guy on the other side. He destroyed our attorney team. Here's his number." I then engaged Jim Abrams and had a very successful outcome. That was 6 years ago and I have used Jim's services multiple times since then all with similar results. When you have a dispute, especially in a David vs Goliath situation, you want an attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable but is also willing to go for the jugular when needed. Jim is just that - I have seen the velvet hammer as well as the sledgehammer and I highly recommend his services.

Helpful Attorney

Jim has helped me work through a series of complex legal issues. Throughout the time I've known him, I've found him to be very creative, helpful, knowledgeable as well as resourceful.

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.
