Highly recommend

I contacted seven different law firms to get help negotiating a severance agreement. Most firms were too busy or unwilling to help because I wasn’t pursuing a wrongful termination claim. Jim was responsive and thorough and helped me achieve a satisfactory renegotiation. I appreciated his solid gui...dance and depth of experience. Thanks, Jim!

Severance Agreement Negotiation

I highly recommend Jim Abrams for anyone needing legal guidance during employment transitions. He reviewed my severance agreement and provided invaluable advice for negotiations. Thanks to his expertise and support, I was able to successfully negotiate a much-improved agreement. Jim is professional, ...responsive, and truly dedicated to achieving the best outcomes for their clients. I couldn’t be more grateful!

Dr. Abrams is amazing!

Our daughter, this past month, retained Dr. Abrams to review her "out of state" Employment Contract. Dr. Abrams provided "down to earth" / "common sense" legal guidance. Unlike other legal counsel, our daughter could speak in layman's language, and Dr. Abrams responded quickly and effectively. Our da...ughter asked Dr. Abrams if it was OKAY to allow her parents to participate in discussions, and Dr. Abrams was more than pleased to allow Mom and Dad to join in discussions. As a family, we can not say enough positives about working with Dr. Abrams on our daughter's new Employment Contract. Donna & Pat

Employment Contract Concerns

I had many concerns regarding an employment contract. Mr. Abrams went through the contract with me line by line, and explained all discrepancies found and answered all of my questions. Without his guidance, I wouldn't have been able to renegotiate my wages, and address illegal components within the ...contract.

AVOID THIS ATTORNEY

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.

After spending considerable resources, we identified the individual who slandered us anonymously. This individual had prior counsel before coming to us. The reviewer was fired from employment. Then, the writer of the criticism sought and received legal services from us in excess of the amount actually paid. Not every client can obtain legal assistance to reverse their circumstances. The facts of this case supported the employer's decision to separate this employee who it is safe to say, demonstrated the same characteristics with the former employer [and us] that lead to the firing. This individual fabricated facts with the former employer, fabricated facts with us and fabricated facts in his retaliatory writing to Avvo because the client was unable to obtain the relief sought. There was no request for a refund, no complaint, the writer provided no ability to prove the assertions made about the employer and the writer's identity was then hidden in the Avvo report, it also being fabricated. Notably, this individual combed through many of our reviews to identify a single adverse commentary, among over 150 five star reviews, one by an impaired former client who was declined service. The individual about whom you are now reading then fabricated facts to align the writer's situation with the former client who was declined service. The Denver District Attorney's office indicated that this type of misconduct, i.e. false communications, qualifies as wire fraud by the reviewer, i.e., a reviewer using an interstate, electronic means to perpetrate a fraud on the public by disseminating false information.
