James Abrams

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.

In 2010 I made the unfortunate decision to purchase a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from a dealership in Boulder. Over the course of eighteen months my CPO vehicle malfunctioned mechanically and electrically over a dozen times resulting in anxiety about my safety while driving this vehicle, as well as ...inconveniencing both my personal and professional life and schedule. All be it long overdue, the day finally came when I came to the conclusion that there was something inherently wrong with this vehicle, something that could not be fixed. The difficult part came trying to convince the dealership of the same. After numerous phone calls that went unreturned and multiple messages left unresponded to from the Service Manager at the dealership, the salesman I purchased the car from, and even the owner of the dealership I finally decided I needed the help of a professional. Mr. Abrams was recommended to me by my business associate who has worked with him on multiple employment and labor issues with great satisfaction. From my first meeting with Mr. Abrams I knew that my issue with the dealership would quickly become a non-issue. Armed with the stack of service notes on my vehicle as well as a statement from myself Mr. Abrams wrote an eight page letter that was sent not only to the Service Manager, the owner of the dealership, the State of Colorado Department of Revenue Automobile Division, the head of BMW North America, but also the head of BMW Germany. This letter was expertly written and came to multiple, logical conclusions regarding this CPO vehicle that there was nothing that could be said by them against his arguments. Within two weeks from the letter being sent out I had the attention of the State of Colorado Department of Revenue as well as the apologies of the Service Manager and the owner, but more importantly I had a swift and very acceptable resolution to my problem, which was the complete repurchase of this vehicle from myself by BMW North America. Mr. Abrams was solely responsible for lifting the financial and emotional burden this vehicle had on my life. I can call myself one of the many people that asks themselves, "why did I wait so long to call a lawyer?" I will not make that mistake again. Mr. Abrams is a competent and caring professional. I am very glad to have on the list of people I can call should I find myself in a bind. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Jim has helped me with several employment-related matters over the past several years (executive transition, contract review, negotiations, etc.) and has always been both a very strong and intelligent advocate for me as his client, and a thoughtful reality-check in balancing the emotions of a situati...on with the legal and administrative realities. Absolutely trust his advice, his instincts, his integrity and his commitment to his clients!

Mr. Abrams was reccomended to me by a family friend. At a point where I had been unemployed for a year, my previous employer decided to appeal my unemployment payout. I shopped around for good, affordable lawyers and Mr. Abrams was by far the most reasonable. I quickly learned why. Mr. Abrams was mor...e concerned about justice rather than how much money he made. I was the little guy being taken advantage of by a big company. Mr. Abrams knew this was wrong so gladly agreed to take my case. He not only wanted to help, but literally walked me through every step making my fears of the unknown less fearfull and more knowledgeable. Needless to say, we won the case. Mr. Abrams training, experience, knowledge, quick judgement, and personal intelligence makes for an outstanding, for the people, caring lawyer. Mr. Abrams saved me thousands of dollars both in his reasonal rate and in not having to pay back the unemployment at a time in my life when I don't have much to start with. I would highly recomend Mr. Abrams to anyone and everyone. He's wonderful!

I am a health care professional that recently had an experience with employee bullying. I was not allowed, even when I asked, to explain what had been happening. I stuck up for myself and several others and I ended up being the one disciplined. I am not typically someone who would seek legal couns...el, but I felt very unprotected in this situation. It was highly recommended to me by my work place peers to get a lawyer. I did not have any idea how to even search. I ended up just googling "labor lawyers for health care professionals" and came across James Abrams name. I left him a message that was urgent as I was to have a meeting the next afternoon with my employer. James called me at 10pm and left a message. He called back at 06:00am and we met at 09:00! I explained my situation, which he documented in detail. In less than an hour, James finished a letter to my employer. I was a little frightened to have this letter sent. It was not threatening in any way, but I am just not the kind of person to seek a lawyer. James gave me the option to send it to them myself so he sent it to me as an email. He strongly advise that I send this letter for my own protection. I made the decision to send it and then met with my employer later that day. The meeting went very well and I was given a lot of respect for my concerns. I was informed by one of my peers that the manager had informed the staff I was returning the next and that I be given the utmost respect and not be asked any questions. My return to work was very comfortable and I was treated very well. I cannot thank James enough for seeing me on such short notice and taking my situation as serious. He is very kind and caring and I felt strongly that I could trust him. He is extremely knowledgeable in the rights of employees and taught me things I had never known.
