Transition planning - helping me get fair treatment from my employer

Jim, was the consummate professional. He helped me negotiate a separation agreement which worked for me and my employer. He coached me and guided me on a path which averted legal action. My employer knew that I had an attorney because of the tone and expertise reflected in the documents. His knowled...ge and background is powerful. His integrity is reflected in all that he does. He gave excellent counsel and was interested in my case.

Simply outstanding. Results were beyond my expectations. Do not think twice about hiring Jim for work-related legal issues.

Jim Abrams is an outstanding human being and attorney. When Jim took my case; he advised me of all possible outcomes based on the facts at hand. His knowledge of the law may only be surpassed with his knowledge of the courts and of the Judges. His counsel completely prepared me for what became an ...emotionally charged and highly contested case. Jim was unwavering and stuck to the facts. Despite my previous employer's obstinacy and defiance which required multiple hearings before a tough judge; Jim shredded the hundreds of exhibits my previous employer produced on cross examination. Jim won my case! I read many of the previous posts here about Jim and there are common threads between them. Jim is compassionate. Jim is thorough. Jim is a talented attorney and has deep knowledge and experience in Law. Jim is an outstanding human being and attorney. Do not think twice about hiring Jim.

Highly professional, sharp, clear and thorough.

Mr. Abrams is a pleasure to work with. He clearly and thoroughly explained the law as it pertained to our case. He then composed an excellent letter that made it clear to a fraudulent contractor that we meant business. I would highly recommend Mr. Abrams to anyone seeking justice.

Responsive, professional, and compassionate

Jim helped me negotiate an at-will separation agreement with my former employer after I was laid off from a mid-senior management role. His service was absolutely extraordinary. I appreciated his reasonable, flat consultation rate, which allowed us to talk about my situation without undue time pressu...re. This seemed like a smart approach for Jim too, since my budget would not limit his ability to spend time exploring issues to find out if I had a potentially valuable case. I thought Jim's personal attention and generosity might come to an abrupt end when it became clear that I had only a modest case, so I was pleasantly surprised when his attentiveness remained exactly the same after our initial consultation. He continued to answer my follow-up questions promptly, returned my phone calls, and consistently showed compassion. It was obvious that Jim not only has the legal expertise you would expect from someone of his credentials and experience, but also appreciates the psychological distress his clients face when dealing with difficult circumstances. Jim is really top-notch, and I would recommend him any day.

5 Star Service

I have been a client for 4 years having issues at my place of employment regarding harassment, hostile work environment, discrimination regarding medical issues among other things. James listened to my issues in 2012 and it calmed down after a stern letter to the Company from him. When the issues r...eturned at an alarming rate, I contacted James because he knew the history and I knew I could trust him. It has been 2 years since my termination and we are in the appeal process. James has continued to handle my case with care and concern. I was impressed with him in regards to how he prepared my case, consulting with me every step of the way. He respected my condition and the after effects of chemo explaining everything to me in terms I understood. James is not afraid to stand up for what is right and he has always done the right thing by me. He is not intimidated by anyone in the system. He is someone I have trusted for 4 years. I do not know how my case will turn out, but I will be forever thankful to James. His diligence, integrity, knowledge of the law, and an attitude to do the right thing by his client makes him the best person to have next to you in a hearing. Donna
