James Abrams

I was very fortunate to find Attorney Jim Abrams through an attorney I sourced on Colorado Bar Association referral site using the search function "labor law" – who said that he knew a specialist just in well versed in developing a simple separation agreement. After sifting through dozens of websites... and what felt like finding a proverbial needle in a haystack, I would Mr. Abrams. My challenge was urgent and required great care, detail and expertise. He was nothing short of that and more. His knowledge of resolving "civil" separation agreements so that one doesn't "burn bridges" is a baffling trick that he does with great ease and a positive disposition. Negotiating the agreement was very painful, as any agreement under an employment separation would expect to be. However, with his wise (and "wise crack") demeanor he gently nudges you back to reality and remind you that the end game is to separate, but do so amicably. It took him less than 2 business days to draft the agreement, with intermittent communication with the other attorney thereafter for another 10 days. What resulted was an agreement that I felt was fair and included additional benefits that would allow me to feel like I had space and breathing room to start fresh. He shed light on my legal rights, specifically those that I was unaware of (i.e. unemployment, healthcare, etc…) and entitled to, and thus included them in the final agreement. On a few occasions, he fought for ethical usage of clauses as the other attorney lacked legally sound paragraphs and clauses that were questionable, ethically. He was able to do all of this while carrying a heavy caseload. However, as many people say, you do not want a bored attorney. A busy attorney will get you results. Don’t get me wrong there were times I was impatient and needed immediate assistance, but he reminded me that I would not expect the same from a doctor or an electrician. I highly recommend Mr. Abrams to help you address challenges as it relates to developing, negotiating and/or advising you on a separation/exit with an employer.

I needed help with an employment issue when I was forced out of my job. Mr. Abrams helped me get a settlement on the monies they owed me and even got rid of my non-compete agreement. He is fast, fair and knowledgeable about how the system works especially unemployment and was able to get my problem... swiftly resolved exceeding my expectations. If there were 10 stars he would have my vote!

Mr. Abrams is exceptionally knowledgeable in the area of employment law. I have come to him on number of occasions for his assistance in this area. He is zealous in his representation of his clients and I recommend him without reservation. If you truly need someone who can give you confidence by b...ringing his many years of legal expertise to your aid, Mr. Abrams is the attorney for you.
