Experience and Proffesionalism

Mr. Abrams helped me to resolve an incident, that happend to me at work place. You will get a proffesional advice and consultation throughout the whole investigation process. I was able to communicate with him daily, when I need it, he was alway avalable for me. He was able to explain on the "peopl...e-freindly" language all Colorado laws, he make me feel comfortable. He was able to write a statment letter to my boss. I will deffenetly recomend him. If you hired him, I garantee, that you going to WIN your case.

Said he would represent me , wouldn't allow me to talk it over with my wife. Stole $260 from me at my lowest point.

I set up a consult with JIM. Although on his website it says the Consultation is free. I met him at his home office and paid him $260 to speak about my case. Jim spent the entire time (1 hour) typing on his computer and didn't look over any of my case. I still thought I was going to move forward ...with him , Just needed to speak with my spouse about the options. Jim apparently was offended that I didn't sign his contract immediately so he booked another case then emailed me telling me he would no longer represent me. (this is all in less than 24 hours.) JIM STOLE $260 FROM ME AFTER HEARING THE TERRIBLE FINANCIAL SITUATION I WAS IN. He lied about being willing to take my case. THIS MAN WILL MISLEAD YOU ABOUT WHO HE IS AND WHAT HES WILLING TO DO FOR YOU.

We identified this individual after a period of time. He is an individual who presented himself in an intoxicated state. He was informed in advance that there was no charge to discuss his matter over the phone but if he came in for an appointment there was a charge. He was provided substantial services; no attorney would provide such information on a complimentary basis. He also appeared without the required fee. He was reminded that this was a fee bearing meeting at the commencement of the meeting. While he was provided with an unsigned fee agreement, we decided that he could not be provided legal services given his substance abuse and lack of credibility. He then became enraged and fabricated facts. Attorneys are no different than any other business or profession in having the right to decline service.

Treats me like Family

I have never worked with a lawyer before and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find someone who truly cared about me and my situation. However, I truly believe it was a blessing that I found Jim. He treats me like I am one of his daughters. So attentive, so detail oriented, and he always goes ...above and beyond to spend time with me and make sure all my questions are answered. I honestly never thought someone like Jim even existed. Every day I thank God that I found him. We have been working together for a couple months now and I have complete confidence in my Lawer, James Abrams. He is truly one of a kind. For example, He will often email me every other day just to check in and see how i'm doing. He will educate me on the legal facts which I love. He will send me links to other articles which explain why my boss is acting in an extremely unprofessional and with misconduct. Jim's knowledge about the law and how to navigate it is very impressive. I love that he will talk to me on the phone for an hour without making me feel rushed. He truly cares about me and I know that even when my case is finally resolved, that we will remain good friends for life. Again, I recommend James Abrams 200% without any hesitation. If any of you out there are still searching, then look no more. This lawyer is practicing because he wants to make our lives better and he does this with love, compassion, kindness, and grace. Thank you Jim for making me feel like part of your family.

I Highly Recommend Mr. Abrams

Mr. Abrams provided me with an outstanding legal consultation on a complicated employment issue. He impressed me with his wealth of knowledge and experience as he expertly summarized my situation in light of potential remedies. Most importantly, he skillfully assessed my expectations prior to advisin...g me on potential options. I walked away fully imbued of the possibilities to address my concerns and how my best interests could be served. I highly recommend Mr. Abrams!

Simply outstanding. Results were beyond my expectations. Do not think twice about hiring Jim for work-related legal issues.

Jim Abrams is an outstanding human being and attorney. When Jim took my case; he advised me of all possible outcomes based on the facts at hand. His knowledge of the law may only be surpassed with his knowledge of the courts and of the Judges. His counsel completely prepared me for what became an ...emotionally charged and highly contested case. Jim was unwavering and stuck to the facts. Despite my previous employer's obstinacy and defiance which required multiple hearings before a tough judge; Jim shredded the hundreds of exhibits my previous employer produced on cross examination. Jim won my case! I read many of the previous posts here about Jim and there are common threads between them. Jim is compassionate. Jim is thorough. Jim is a talented attorney and has deep knowledge and experience in Law. Jim is an outstanding human being and attorney. Do not think twice about hiring Jim.
