Highly skilled

I had lost my job after a dedicated 27 years with a company and found myself with no income and a denial of Unemployment benefits. I felt like something was wrong with the system and I should be granted my full benefits. I did not want to attempt to conquer an appeals hearing on my own so reached out... to Jim Abrams as he came highly recommended from a colleague. May I mention he personally answered my phone call and also happened to be after hours but was fully willing to talk to me. Jim was brutally honest with what we were up against and made me feel zero pressure to hire him. Ultimately I knew I wanted to be represented by Jim and given all his experience and track record, he made me feel confident. when all said and done, what I thought would be slim to none on winning the hearing... Jim made it happen! I do not feel it was just "a win", I feel it was a "Slam dunk win". I certainly could not have done this on my own. I give Jim all the credit in the world for what he did for me and thank him a ton! I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Jim without hesitation!!

He is worth it

Jim helped me with my unemployment appeal hearing, that was initiated by the employer. I highly recommend him for representation. He was attentive and cared. This was a two hearing and his questioning of the employer was a positive outcome. Thank you Jim!!!

Highly recommend

Dr. Abrams is trustworthy, hard-working, and highly knowledgeable about unemployment law. I hired him to represent me in an UI overpayment case and am absolutely thrilled with the outcome.

PUA OVERPAYMENT

Jim successfully resolved my PUA overpayment appeal in a minimal amount of time. He was extremely knowledgeable throughout the whole process, answering any questions that I had and helping me thoroughly prepare for my hearing. Jim conveyed a positive and humorous demeanor throughout the process. In t...he end, Jim was able to get my hearing dismissed.

Dismissal of Overpayment on UI

Jim, who was referred to us by a client, did an excellent and surprisingly expedient job getting a full dismissal for having to repay an alleged overpayment we received from UI, that we were assessed as part of the pandemic UI assistance in Colorado.
