James Abrams

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.

Mr. Abrams is an incredible attorney with knowledge to get the job done and done well. The results he has achieved for me have been nothing short of amazing. He continues to guide me in the process and has my best interests in mind. I would recommend him to any body (and have) that needs to win a... case!!

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!

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.
