James Abrams

Jim has helped me with several employment-related matters over the past several years (executive transition, contract review, negotiations, etc.) and has always been both a very strong and intelligent advocate for me as his client, and a thoughtful reality-check in balancing the emotions of a situati...on with the legal and administrative realities. Absolutely trust his advice, his instincts, his integrity and his commitment to his clients!

Mr. Abrams was reccomended to me by a family friend. At a point where I had been unemployed for a year, my previous employer decided to appeal my unemployment payout. I shopped around for good, affordable lawyers and Mr. Abrams was by far the most reasonable. I quickly learned why. Mr. Abrams was mor...e concerned about justice rather than how much money he made. I was the little guy being taken advantage of by a big company. Mr. Abrams knew this was wrong so gladly agreed to take my case. He not only wanted to help, but literally walked me through every step making my fears of the unknown less fearfull and more knowledgeable. Needless to say, we won the case. Mr. Abrams training, experience, knowledge, quick judgement, and personal intelligence makes for an outstanding, for the people, caring lawyer. Mr. Abrams saved me thousands of dollars both in his reasonal rate and in not having to pay back the unemployment at a time in my life when I don't have much to start with. I would highly recomend Mr. Abrams to anyone and everyone. He's wonderful!

I am a health care professional that recently had an experience with employee bullying. I was not allowed, even when I asked, to explain what had been happening. I stuck up for myself and several others and I ended up being the one disciplined. I am not typically someone who would seek legal couns...el, but I felt very unprotected in this situation. It was highly recommended to me by my work place peers to get a lawyer. I did not have any idea how to even search. I ended up just googling "labor lawyers for health care professionals" and came across James Abrams name. I left him a message that was urgent as I was to have a meeting the next afternoon with my employer. James called me at 10pm and left a message. He called back at 06:00am and we met at 09:00! I explained my situation, which he documented in detail. In less than an hour, James finished a letter to my employer. I was a little frightened to have this letter sent. It was not threatening in any way, but I am just not the kind of person to seek a lawyer. James gave me the option to send it to them myself so he sent it to me as an email. He strongly advise that I send this letter for my own protection. I made the decision to send it and then met with my employer later that day. The meeting went very well and I was given a lot of respect for my concerns. I was informed by one of my peers that the manager had informed the staff I was returning the next and that I be given the utmost respect and not be asked any questions. My return to work was very comfortable and I was treated very well. I cannot thank James enough for seeing me on such short notice and taking my situation as serious. He is very kind and caring and I felt strongly that I could trust him. He is extremely knowledgeable in the rights of employees and taught me things I had never known.

For serious personnel issues, Mr. Abrams stays completely on point. He is thorough, detailed and uses objective analysis to define the best approach. He is mature and knowledgeable which keeps the client from making poor decisions. He outlines choices and their ramifications. He stays the course ...with a steady hand. When he needs to be aggressive, he does it. He also is able to measure his actions against the particular circumstances present in these cases. He represents his clients fiercely and fairly. He gets the job done sometimes painlessly. A true warrior brain trust.

Jim has been working with me over the past few months and I have been very impressed with his work. He responds to questions and emails very promptly. I have emailed on a weekend and he has STILL responded within the half hour! He has walked me through everything step by step and has kept me inform...ed on anything I need to do. I recently had a hearing and was very impressed with how he prepped me and handled my case. Things went better than I could have every expected. I would definately recommend him to friends and even more so to my family. If you are looking for someone trustworthy and someone that will fight for you and back you up 110%, he is your lawyer.
