James Abrams

I contacted Mr. Abrams regarding unemployment insurance eligibility questions. It was quite complicated. Mr. Abrams promptly responded to my inquiry and was able to see me within the week. When we met, I felt that he was friendly and knowledgeable. He spent around an hour with me answering all of my ...questions and assured me of a positive outcome. I felt that his assurance was based on my situation and his objective review of the details as opposed to just wanting me to feel better. Mr. Abrams's advice and answers were right on the money which of course is the most important part of the equation. He was also available after our consultation to answer additional questions. I would suggestion calling him with questions as opposed to email. Lastly, his rates were very reasonable and were well worth the expense.

Thank God for Jim. After my application for unemployment was denied I needed to find someone to help me. However as I was working for and with attorneys, I knew I wouldn't be able to fight them on my own. Because of Jim's wonderful online reviews, I knew I had to at least ask him if I had a case. ... I emailed him on Saturday morning of Memorial Day weekend and to my amazement, he read my email and called me immediately. Since then, I couldn't have asked for a better advocate, adviser or counselor. Jim advised me at every step and was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. The cost for Jim's services are incredibly reasonable. He really does work for the "average Joe." However he is experienced and knowledgeable while throwing in in a little comic relief when needed. At my unemployment appeal hearing he was professional, knowledgeable, and tenacious. I don't know that you can ask for more than that. My reputation and character were being trashed and because of Jim's help it has been restored. Thank you and God bless you Jim.

This is the first time I've had to hire an attorney. I heard about him via word of mouth. My initial unemployment claim was denied. I sincerely felt I had a fighting chance to appeal, as my employer's treatment toward me caused me to voluntarily quit my job. Everyone says, "well, you can't get unempl...oyment because you quit." Every case in different! I URGE YOU to at least contact Jim to run your story by him. He'll be straight with you. My confidence to fight back increased tenfold after first meeting Jim Abrams. I put the whole thing in his hands, and in God's hands. Between the two of them, they totally came through for me with a full UI award. Nothing speaks like experience, and he has decades of it. Plus a background in corporate America from the employer's perspective, and in the military gives him the no-holds-barred stature he brought to the hearing. He is very professional and polite, and simultaneously relentless, detailed and thorough in his questioning of the other side. He really cares, and WILL bring to surface in the hearing that "there is an elephant in the room" and "the emperor has no clothes." Jim made me feel very comfortable on the phone, at his home office, and during our private prep time at the Department of Labor office before we went into the hearing room. I was in awe of his mastery of control, and language during the hearing. He took copious notes at the table, so he was always on top of things when it was his turn to speak for me. I would never, ever have been able to pursue retaining an attorney if it weren't for his very reasonable fees geared to the average person. Thank you so much, Jim, for assisting me in seeing that justice was done. I'll never forget your generosity of service to society.

Don't suffer in silence any longer!!! I did for much too long as 2 of my former (abusive) employers were giving me bad references - even YEARS after I quit working for them!!! What did they have to gain by doing this? Who knows? But now they realize they have EVERYTHING to lose by giving out bad r...eferences to former employees. The sad part is, most former bosses don't abide by company policy and feel they are "above the law". This was happening to me and I decided to take action. I retained James Abrams who understood my problems as he has worked in employment law for many years. He swiftly took action and put a "muzzle" on my former bosses. He has competitive prices and will keep you informed every step of the way. Bottom line - Stand up, REFUSE to bend over any longer and FIGHT BACK. Mr. Abrams has your back and I can't thank him enough!.

Mr. Abrams took on my unemployment case for a flat fee of $500. I had my doubts at first as most of my interactions with lawyers have proven them to be untrustworthy and greedy. Mr. Abrams turned out to be an excellent lawyer and a good person. My case took 4 hearings but in the end my case prevai...led due to Mr. Abrams knowledge of the law. I would HIGHLY recommend Jim Abrams both as a lawyer and as an upstanding individual.
