James Abrams

I am writing this review about the effective representation in a legal dispute that ruled in a hearing where I was successful. Mr. Abrams is competent, compassionate, and very knowledgeable in employment law. After reviewing the facts of the case he was able to give honest feedback and explained the ...interpretation of the statute involved with my hearing. He has stellar representation in the community that is well deserved and I would recommend his services 100%.

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!.

I recently had the opportunity to employ Mr. Abrams for a dispute with a past employer over my unemployment. Having Mr. Abrams for a legal advisor was definnetly to my advantage, and I was able to get a favorable verdict and outcome to my appeal hearing. Mr. Abrams legal counsel turned out to be an i...nvaluable e xperience, as he was very knowledgable and understanding of this process, and his preperation of me, pre-hearing, helped me have the confidence and ability to face my hearing without a lot of anxiety. In waiting for this unemployment hearing to take place, Mr. Abrams kept me informed, and when i had any questions, all i needed to do was call him via phone, and leave a message, or send him an e-mail message, and he never failed to get back with me. His responses were always prompt. Thanks Jim Abrams for all of your help, and I will always remember the lesson of "Beans up your nose." I would recommend Jim Abrams to anyone who is need of a competent attorney, and an attorney that has great experience in dealing with unemployment appeals. Written by Robt. D. 5/13/13.

Attorney Abrams has many good qualities as an attorney and as a person. One of the many things I was impressed with was his willingness to listen and hear me out. I came to him because I was denied UI compensation. After listening to my case, he asked me if I wanted him to take my disability compl...aint which I didn’t even think I had. Not only did Jim Abrams recover my UI benefits, he also won my disability complaint and due to his knowledge and understanding of the system he also recovered maximum settlement from a former employer who mismanaged my termination. His qualities include integrity and empathy. He seeks justice and is able to maneuver through an unjust system without too much ado. He is a tiger in a hearing and has the ability to go for the jugular. He is very educated. If you look at his resume, one will realize that by calling on him, you are calling on one of the best. I am so glad to have Attorney Abrams on my side.
