Lawyer Extraordinaire!

Met and exceeded my expectations. Promptly acts on items, keeps clients in the loop, and advocates for the underdog. Genuine, sincere, and assertive with a "failure is not an option" attitude. Easily able to picture himself in the client's shoes and displays an empathy for people of various backg...rounds and means, a rare find in today's society and certainly among attorneys. With shared responsibility between client and Mr. Abrams, successful outcomes are virutally assured. Would highly and specially recommend for disputes involving government agencies in which one can feel overwhelmed.

Excellent

I found Jim to be very trustworthy and very personable. He always kept in touch and answered all my calls. He is very knowledgeable in his field. He kept my spirits up when I thought there was no hope.

Knowledge and Passion.

"Expertise" is the best word to describe what you get by choosing Jim Abrams. Jim is a likable, compassionate, person who genuinely cares about the people he represents; which is calming. In the heat of battle he has the ability, knowledge, and passion to think and act strategically for your be...nefit. I am confident that the positive outcome of my situation is due to the preparation and professional acumen of Mr. Abrams. I would wholeheartedly recommend you engage him as your advocate.

A well experience attorney in employment issues

I used google's search engine to find an attorney to help with my unemployment benefits. My former employer contested my eligibility for benefits and I felt I needed an attorney to help me in my hearing. After speaking with 2 other firms and realizing I was in store for as much as $350/hour, I call...ed Mr. Abrams. Jim indicated he charged a $500 flat fee and the other firms were comedians. I am glad I went with the less expensive option as this hearing was a routine one. Jim was well prepared and asked the right questions. He is not the type of person who responds to every email or phone call but he has this down to a science so trust him. He eventually makes sure you are well prepared and eases the anxiety. I would recommend hiring him if your budget is tight or you just need a little extra help.

BEST MONEY I HAVE SPENT IN ALONG TIME

My last employer was fighting my unemployment insurance, Jim spoke to me as a peer not as a client. Jim did everything he said and understood the unemployment laws like the back of his hand. I would of paid double for his help if I could of afforded it.
