James Abrams

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.

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.

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(

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.

I am a physician, and have worked with Jim Abrams on various contract, employment and professional / business development negotiations over the past six years. Each time, I have come away from the experience both very satisfied with the outcome, and having learned a lot -- about myself, about effecti...ve communication and negotiation, about building strong professional relationships (and gracefully exiting ones that no longer fulfill both parties), and about how to achieve my aims (and strive for even more!) with both integrity and power. Jim's wealth of deep knowledge across law, business, psychology, healthcare, philosophy and beyond (he is a true 21st century renaissance man!) has inspired me and often saved me from costly and time-consuming mis-steps. Hiring Jim is a great investment for the sort of client who is intelligent, looking to learn and grow through each experience, and committed to excellence and integrity. I have found working with Jim to be far faster, more powerful and more cost-effective than hiring a standardized legal service, a professional coach, an HR consultant, a therapist and taking post-grad enrichment courses. If you want to be your best (personally and professionally), surround yourself with partners and experts who are at their best, and you will learn to soar. Whether you are exiting a situation which does not support and honor your excellence, or building a new endeavor based on that excellence, Jim Abrams is the attorney to have on your team.
