Posted by Theresa | June 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Libel & Slander

Experienced employment attorney

I hired Jim to handle an unpleasant situation in which a former employer was slandering me with intent to harm my professional reputation. He was direct, effective, prompt and the lies have stopped. I recommend him without hesitation.

5 Star Service

I have been a client for 4 years having issues at my place of employment regarding harassment, hostile work environment, discrimination regarding medical issues among other things. James listened to my issues in 2012 and it calmed down after a stern letter to the Company from him. When the issues r...eturned at an alarming rate, I contacted James because he knew the history and I knew I could trust him. It has been 2 years since my termination and we are in the appeal process. James has continued to handle my case with care and concern. I was impressed with him in regards to how he prepared my case, consulting with me every step of the way. He respected my condition and the after effects of chemo explaining everything to me in terms I understood. James is not afraid to stand up for what is right and he has always done the right thing by me. He is not intimidated by anyone in the system. He is someone I have trusted for 4 years. I do not know how my case will turn out, but I will be forever thankful to James. His diligence, integrity, knowledge of the law, and an attitude to do the right thing by his client makes him the best person to have next to you in a hearing. Donna

Thank You, Mr. Abrams !

We hired James L Abrams (Jim Abrams) concerning a long running court controversy in Arapahoe County. We know we will never find an attorney quite like him . We had a major and very unpleasant battle with the opposing party.Jim stuck by us many times not charging for his services. He was always respo...nsive to our phone calls, always ready to give us legal advice and updates on our case. Jim Abrams is tenacious, he would not give up.The case went on for years. The attorney on the other side had a reputation for winning no matter what the cost and she did not fight fair. In the end we won. I think that the opposing attorney will never forget Mr. Abrams and neither will we. We always will be thankful to the attorney Jim Abrams.

Very educated , Honest and Great sense of humor.

After contacting 4 to 5 different law firms before finding Mr.Abrams, I started to lose hope for my case. The first thing all of the other law firms would ask me, is if I had been terminated from my job or if I was still employed. After telling them I was still employed, it's like they did not want... to give me the time of day, and 2 of the law firms I contacted stated to me when I get fired maybe they could help me. When I first called Mr. Abrams to explain my situation he was very forthcoming and honest, which gave me a sense of relief from the harassment I was going through at work. I no longer work for that company and I feel the company will never let something like this happen again. The outcome was worth it all.
