Amazing, Fearless Attorney

I have been working with Jim Abrams on my case for 3 years. It was filed in the United States district court and was just settled. He's stuck by me throughout this ordeal. I could never have done it without him! His knowledge of the facts and the law , plus a masterful strategy against a huge Law Fir...m allow the case to be resolved they verbally. I strongly appreciate everything he has done for me.

5-Star Employment Attorney

Jim represented me against my former employer. From our first meeting, Jim was upfront, honest, professional and articulate. He is a seasoned professional. Due to his in depth knowledge and expertise with employment law, we won! I would recommend no other, than Jim.

HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENTCASE

I was lucky to have James Abrams as my attorney. He is an excellent lawyer and I give my highest recommendation. He is honest, straightforward and confident. He was extremely responsive to all my communication and was always available to answer all my questions and phone calls. I was being harassed a...nd discriminated in a hostile work environment. He analyzed my case thoroughly. His expertise in work harassment and discrimination led to a favorable outcome for me. He is tenacious, during what had turned out to be an endurance contest. We persuaded the employer it was in for a fight and big legal bills, it then decided to mediate and settle the case. You will also have the privilege to meet Sadie his Golden doodle, Sadie is the most loving "assistant" any client could hope for. You would be lucky to have Jim advocate for you.

Responsive, Knowledgable, Friendly and a Winner!

First of all, Jim is very responsive. When I first emailed him he got back to me very promptly. We had an initial phone chat and he listened to my case, thoroughly explained his charges and how he believe the case would play out. I paid 1/2 for a in-depth consult and the other 1/2 for his represent...ation in my case. We won, and in hindsight there was never a question that we wouldn't win. Jim prepped me thoroughly on what to say and when to stay silent. I would recommend him highly!!! (and I have not always had a terrific experience with legal council(

Responsive, professional, and compassionate

Jim helped me negotiate an at-will separation agreement with my former employer after I was laid off from a mid-senior management role. His service was absolutely extraordinary. I appreciated his reasonable, flat consultation rate, which allowed us to talk about my situation without undue time pressu...re. This seemed like a smart approach for Jim too, since my budget would not limit his ability to spend time exploring issues to find out if I had a potentially valuable case. I thought Jim's personal attention and generosity might come to an abrupt end when it became clear that I had only a modest case, so I was pleasantly surprised when his attentiveness remained exactly the same after our initial consultation. He continued to answer my follow-up questions promptly, returned my phone calls, and consistently showed compassion. It was obvious that Jim not only has the legal expertise you would expect from someone of his credentials and experience, but also appreciates the psychological distress his clients face when dealing with difficult circumstances. Jim is really top-notch, and I would recommend him any day.
