James Abrams has your back for employment issues!!!

Don't suffer in silence any longer!!! I did for much too long as 2 of my former (abusive) employers were giving me bad references - even YEARS after I quit working for them!!! What did they have to gain by doing this? Who knows? But now they realize they have EVERYTHING to lose by giving out bad r...eferences to former employees. The sad part is, most former bosses don't abide by company policy and feel they are "above the law". This was happening to me and I decided to take action. I retained James Abrams who understood my problems as he has worked in employment law for many years. He swiftly took action and put a "muzzle" on my former bosses. He has competitive prices and will keep you informed every step of the way. Bottom line - Stand up, REFUSE to bend over any longer and FIGHT BACK. Mr. Abrams has your back and I can't thank him enough!.

UI Appeals Hearing legal help

Jim was a pleasure to work with in preparing for my Unemployment benefits appeals hearing. He is truly a subject matter expert on employee rights, employer misconduct and discharged workers' eligibility for Unemployment Benefits. I highly recommend him to anyone who has experienced mistreatment fro...m an employer (i.e. age discrimination, wrongful termination, sudden discharge). With 30+ years experience representing clients, Jim is a great asset to the Denver / Front Range region! Thanks to Jim's hard work and attention to detail, we won my UI Appeals hearing! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help in employment law cases.

"Victory for my Unemployment"

I recently had the opportunity to employ Mr. Abrams for a dispute with a past employer over my unemployment. Having Mr. Abrams for a legal advisor was definnetly to my advantage, and I was able to get a favorable verdict and outcome to my appeal hearing. Mr. Abrams legal counsel turned out to be an i...nvaluable e xperience, as he was very knowledgable and understanding of this process, and his preperation of me, pre-hearing, helped me have the confidence and ability to face my hearing without a lot of anxiety. In waiting for this unemployment hearing to take place, Mr. Abrams kept me informed, and when i had any questions, all i needed to do was call him via phone, and leave a message, or send him an e-mail message, and he never failed to get back with me. His responses were always prompt. Thanks Jim Abrams for all of your help, and I will always remember the lesson of "Beans up your nose." I would recommend Jim Abrams to anyone who is need of a competent attorney, and an attorney that has great experience in dealing with unemployment appeals. Written by Robt. D. 5/13/13.

Excellent Service

I was very fortunate to meet Mr. Abrams when I needed someone with legal services. I had a discrimination issue and Mr. Abrams helped me a great deal. He handled my case fast and I was able to reach solution quickly putting the entire matter behind me. Mr. Abrams did an excellent job responding quick...ly to my questions while providing concise advice. He is very professional, attentive, and extremely competent. If you are looking for someone that is hardworking, honest, and really good at their job, I would highly recommend to contact Mr. Abrams.

Luca, you are SO cool....

Attorney Abrams has many good qualities as an attorney and as a person. One of the many things I was impressed with was his willingness to listen and hear me out. I came to him because I was denied UI compensation. After listening to my case, he asked me if I wanted him to take my disability compl...aint which I didn’t even think I had. Not only did Jim Abrams recover my UI benefits, he also won my disability complaint and due to his knowledge and understanding of the system he also recovered maximum settlement from a former employer who mismanaged my termination. His qualities include integrity and empathy. He seeks justice and is able to maneuver through an unjust system without too much ado. He is a tiger in a hearing and has the ability to go for the jugular. He is very educated. If you look at his resume, one will realize that by calling on him, you are calling on one of the best. I am so glad to have Attorney Abrams on my side.
