GREAT ATTORNEY! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!

Jim is working on a wrongful termination case for me regarding a Facebook posting. My former employer denied my unemployment, but Jim helped me win the appeal. This is only the beginning of how he will help me win my case with my former employer.

Compassion

Not only did Mr. Abrams handle my wrongful termination case, he gave me the compassion and encouragement to move through the emotional aftermath of employment loss. I am thankful everyday he represented me. I would highly recommend this attorney if need for representation in the employment field aris...es!

Well worth it!!

I hired Jim because I needed help with with my unemployment appeal. I felt I had been wrongfully terminated and Jim was not only professional and on top of everything, but kept me on track. He didn't let me get caught up in the pain of my termination but stayed on task in getting me the unemployme...nt that I deserved due to my job loss. He never let us get caught up in extra things that may not help the case but stayed focused on all the things that helped us win. In doing that... he also helped me accept my job loss and move on, which was an added benefit! He is tough when needed and always is confident in what he is doing which kept my mind at ease through what seems like a very tedious process. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants someone with the knowledge and skill to get your case won.

Job Well Done

I found myself needing legal representation for an unexpected unemployment appeals hearing. My former employer was denying my claim to receive benefits. I came across Mr. Abrams name on the internet, his credentials and experience impressed me. After meeting with him in person to discuss the detai...ls of my case, I was suddenly terminated after 23 years for making a mistake. Fellow employees were not terminated after their errors were caught and corrected. It is my belief that I was terminated under the veil of downsizing after my new manager was given access to information about personnel salaries. Mr. Abrams contested their points professionally and passionately and I am happy to report that the appeals judge ruled in my favor. Mr. Abrams is a personable and experienced lawyer and I would recommend him to anyone requiring legal counsel and representation.
