Highly Recommended

I chose Jim to represent me in a case of unresolved work place harassment. He did a tremendous job at relaying my concerns and resolving the issues. He kept me informed on the current issues of the case, and guided me through processes. He provided me with valuable information on how to handle situat...ions when he could not be present, and he was very punctual in regards to returning phone calls and emails. I would recommend Jim to anyone seeking to resolve issues with a positive outcome. He is very knowledgeable about employment laws and his experience in the past with many different organizations proves his ability to comprehend each case and provide an honest opinion on the state of the matter. On a final note, he takes the time to explain the pros and cons of litigation and really seeks to understand your knowledge base and expectations. He seems to listen and accept your input, but he also ensures that you understand the costs and expenses, both monetary and emotional that litigation may bring upon you. Jim deserves 10/5 stars and I can most certainly say I am very satisfied with the services Jim provided.

experience

Mr Abrams is one of the best people I have ever met. Not only is he an utmost professional but also strikes me as a great human being. From the start of our interaction Ive felt he took the time to understand my situation with consideration for my well being rather than any financial gain for himsel...f and he has maintained that aura throughout the process so far. He has made me feel validated, gone above and beyond and supported my position. Great to work with, even took the time to make me laugh. While amidst a challenging situation with an employer, complicated by my high-risk pregnancy, it has been a tremendous relief to have this fierce attorney on my side.

Incredible Lawyer

Jim is an incredible lawyer and a true pleasure to work with. Jim takes the time to understand his clients and the issues to be addressed. I was intimidated by the prospect of challenging my former employer on an exit package that was offered after I was laid off. Jim took the time to know me, my ...situation, and my my concerns. After Jim's help I was able to recoup a fair value of what was due. Without Jim's efforts I would have never received a fair pay-out. I cannot thank Jim enough for his work and persistence, it made all the difference. I gladly would recommend Jim to anyone needed a true legal advocate.

Phenomenal lawyer!!

I had never needed to use a lawyer but in 2014, I needed one as my employed discriminated against me. I was terrified because I had heard so many horror stories from others in regards to their use of lawyers. But I was determined to find the right lawyer for me and my case. When I found Mr Abrams I w...as very pleased to find a lawyer that had outstanding reviews but he was also very personable and honest. Honesty is key! After a long 1 1/2 years we finally settled my case and Mr Abrams assured me that we'd come out on top, and we did! I am eternally grateful that Mr Abrams chose to represent me! I have referred him to several friends and family and I have nothing but good things to say about him. Thank you Mr Abrams!!

If you've been wronged and need help, you need Jim Abrams

I was treated unfairly by a major Denver based company, and left feeling there was nothing I could do. Jim took the time to listen to my side and gave me an honest assessment. He then used not just his knowledge of the law but his extensive experience in the practice of the law to level the playing f...ield and achieve a fair outcome when other attorneys said nothing could be done. Governed by an irrepressible inner drive for justice, he pushed for daily progress and made me feel like his most important client, even when I knew he was working on much bigger cases.
