James Abrams

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.

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.

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.
