Excellent Employment Lawyer

Jim represented me in a contentious series of hearings with my hostile employer. They had hired a large law firm to represent them. It did not go well for them. Jim was great to work with and gave me sound advice on how to proceed. Opposing witnesses were subjected to cross examination and Jim ...took control of the proceeding. It became immediately apparent that he knows his way around a courtroom. While the employer could have settled the matter, it refused even after Jim advised them that this dispute was not going to go well for them. It couldn't have gone worse for the employer. Jim is entitled to the strongest endorsement as he does not give up or get rattled by an obstinate employer represented by a big firm's partner. The employer wasted a tremendous amount of time and money trying to avoid liability. It did not work. Thank you Jim!

Thank You, Mr. Abrams !

We hired James L Abrams (Jim Abrams) concerning a long running court controversy in Arapahoe County. We know we will never find an attorney quite like him . We had a major and very unpleasant battle with the opposing party.Jim stuck by us many times not charging for his services. He was always respo...nsive to our phone calls, always ready to give us legal advice and updates on our case. Jim Abrams is tenacious, he would not give up.The case went on for years. The attorney on the other side had a reputation for winning no matter what the cost and she did not fight fair. In the end we won. I think that the opposing attorney will never forget Mr. Abrams and neither will we. We always will be thankful to the attorney Jim Abrams.

Employment Dispute

Jim worked with me to settle a dispute with a former employer. He was very attentive and professional. His knowledge of the situation, and aggressive pursuit to resolve the issue resulted favorably for me. After our initial court date, the employer decided to concede and did not show up for the ne...xt court date. Jim was courteous and professional, and made light work out of this task.

Fearless

Jim represented me in an adverse proceeding which was fought by the company. The odds were against me but the judge nevertheless found for me. Jim dominated the hearing with confidence, knowledge and fearlessness. I was lucky to have him on my side.

Jim Abrams believed in me

I retained Jim Abrams for a matter that required a major trial. I had serious concerns about whether any attorney could win against a company that was so well capitalized and ready for a major fight. Nevertheless, Jim Abrams presented the case in a manner which resulted in a successful outcome and I ...am so glad I made the right decision by retaining him. My advice to you is seek help when you need it and know when you can't handle it on your own. He has honest and fair pricing and it is well worth it. He cares about people! I would put all my confidence in Jim Abrams under any circumstance. He may not know it, but he touched my life and helped me when I didn't even believe in myself.
