James Abrams

I was the President of a Human Resources Company and I was searching for an attorney to help with a labor issue. I recently had a conversation with a friend who owned a large oil and gas company about a similar issue he just completed. I asked him to recommend his attorney and instead he said "I wish... I had the guy on the other side. He destroyed our attorney team. Here's his number." I then engaged Jim Abrams and had a very successful outcome. That was 6 years ago and I have used Jim's services multiple times since then all with similar results. When you have a dispute, especially in a David vs Goliath situation, you want an attorney who is experienced and knowledgeable but is also willing to go for the jugular when needed. Jim is just that - I have seen the velvet hammer as well as the sledgehammer and I highly recommend his services.

Mr. Abrams has been a fantastic lawyer throughout the course of my lawsuit. He is well versed in the legal system, the legal community and was professional throughout one of the most tense seasons of my life. Having been terminated by previous employer a year ago, Mr. Abrams demonstrates he is a true... believer in what it means to fight for justice and I am forever indebted to him.

Sadly the other anonymous 1 star reviewer is spot on as the EXACT SAME THING happened to me (except no one was "intoxicated" and I actually paid him over $300 bucks). Mr. Abrams FAILED as an attorney to adequately listen to my needs and actually TAKE ACTION to draft up a document which I had requeste...d and which Mr. Abrams was being compensated for in order to discuss at this consultation. He spoke in a long-winded, overly complicated, and drawn out fashion; I'll let the reader think about how this behavior may be advantageous to an attorney. I have no issue compensating professionals for their due, assuming they actually EARN IT. In this case in my opinion Jim just spoke about what a hypothetical lawyer WOULD DO. This situation has now been documented twice and hopefully it helps anyone considering working with him.

I had a strange, volatile circumstance on my hands, that many attorneys seemed to want to avoid. Not enough money in it, too challenging, didn't fit cleanly into their area of expertise -- who knows why. Jim waded in and sort of rescued me over the course of several consults. He has a deep exp...erience base and was able to provide me with a much broader perspective than many attorneys I have talked to. He is wily and creative with his thinking. I would not want to face him in court, that's for sure. Finally, and I think this is key: he is responsive and courteous, which seems to be annoyingly rare in the field. I can't recommend Jim enough.

​I have worked with and for many attorneys over a 23-year period. I did not think I'd need to utilize one for myself - but I did. I was so fortunate to meet Jim Abrams. There's no attorney who is as selfless as this man. I worked with him on two fixed-fee matters that went far beyond what any attorne...y with whom I've worked would do. I know he made no money given how these two matters expanded from minor disputes into major actions. Jim did not complain or do anything other than to serve me honorably. I cannot say enough about his work on my behalf, all successful.
