Smart and strategic law professional

Jim Abrams is extremely knowledgeable about employment law and can quickly get to the key issues in a situation. He is highly creative in formulating strategies and gives you practical and effective ideas for how to deal with problems that have legal implications. He also is excellent at coaching you... on the "people-side" of employment situations and helps you understand the important legal principles to stand on. Jim's insightful strategies have helped me reduce the impact of organizational errors caused by employees. He is generous with this time, follows-up to see how it's going, and is always a pleasure to work with.

Excellent lawyer & upstanding gentleman! I highly recommend him.

Jim is an outstanding person and professional. He is a very accomplished lawyer and a hardworking person who helped me through a complex multi-state unemployment benefits issue with the state of Colorado. His in-depth legal knowledge and savvy helped me tremendously. He guided me through the process ...of appealing three redeterminations, and the hearings that followed. He was upfront and honest about costs, responsive about any questions that I had, and did a great job helping me to prepare for my hearings. We were successful in appealing all three of my redeterminations! I wouldn't have been able to do it without Jim! I am so grateful to him for his hard work, and straight forward business style. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for legal aid in labor and employment law.

Appeal

I retained Jim Abrams in order to assist me in a matter where I was owed a substantial amount of money. He spent a considerable amount of time preparing me. After the other side learned that Jim was representing me, it defaulted before the case was tried, that is, it did not show up and my case was s...uccessfully resolved. I do not believe this would have occurred had I not engaged Jim to assist me.

The Best

I hired Mr. Abrams in 2003 to represent me with my employer at the time. I spoke with Mr. Abrams on the phone immediately and scheduled consultation. Mr. Abrams is a brilliant, completely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. He knows what is the best path for your specific issue and will guide yo...u correctly, even if litigation is not the best process for your specific case. The best in employment law.

One in a million

All around deeply caring lawyer with a brain that could melt a polar icecap. Approachable and candid. James doesn’t sugar coat anything, but his heart is pure. One in a million human being. He helped me organize my case and gave me direction when I was getting lost, navigating the unemployment laws... for the pandemic. He will encourage you to help yourself. Take notes. He speaks fast. All of that wisdom is gold so be prepared. I’m so very grateful I found him.
