Great coaching, got me a better severance agreement

Jim was easy to chat with, and he understood employment law pretty well. He coached me through what negotiation looks like in cases like these, and he was well worth his fee relative to what I got from negotiating the terms of my severance agreement with my former employer.

Very supportive and understanding

I hired Mr. Abrams a little over two years ago for a very difficult situation with my previous employer. He was very understanding and really worked hard to get me a quick and positive resolution. He's very understanding and really looks out for his clients' best interest.

Highly recommend

I had an issue with a former employer and Jim Abrams has been there for me like a rock. I know I can always call Jim for advice and he never turns me away. Jim is extremely intelligent and very knowledgeable in the legal field. I have been turned away by lawyers many times who are too busy for my ca...se. Jim has never turned me away and will always return my calls. If you are looking for someone who cares about you more than a pay check call Jim I highly recommend him as an Attorney. Thank you Jim for being in my corner and believing in me always.

Simply the Best!

I needed an attorney to help guide me through an unemployment claim where I had been wrongly denied benefits. Mr. Abrams was responsive and professional; helping guide me through the legal system. He has such vast knowledge. He knew the right questions to ask, and was able to clearly articulate t...o the hearing officer our stance. He was was able to help me arrive at a full lump sum unemployment benefit after my last hearing. I would not have gotten that result without his assistance and assurances. If I ever run into another issue that requires an attorney, Mr. Abrams will be my first contact!!

A warrior in a time of need

James Abrams is a linear type of individual, so please don't be alarmed by his conversation. If you choose to hire him, and he agrees to take on your case you will not regret it. I had a complicated case that required an extended amount of time and effort. To be honest most people wouldn't have taken... it, but Jim did. I've learned in the state of CO most employment attorneys work strictly with corporate cases. When I began to grow weary of it. Jim called me and agreed to continue helping me. Without revealing too much I'll say he was resilient with extreme adversity facing us. It was detrimental to my livelihood. I could not have done this without his wisdom and expertise. If you are in search of due process, and realistic outcomes Jim is the one. The code of ethics doesn't seem to matter much currently. I can assure you it does with Jim. He is fair, honest, and reasonable in more than one way. Lastly, I am grateful for his strong defense tactics they truly impressed this client.
