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!

Knowledgeable, Friendly Lawyer

I consulted with Jim on a case and found him to be knowledgeable, friendly and responsive. He is no nonsense, gives honest information, and has a sense of humor that makes him very approachable. He's also clearly very bright and has deep expertise in the field—I'd hate to be on the other side against... Jim. Finally, his fees are very reasonable for the services he provides. I'd definitely turn to him again if the need arose and would recommend him to others.

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!

Talk to Jim

This is the first time I have ever had to hire a lawyer, and the prospect was a bit intimidating. I'm so happy I found Mr. Abrams. He skipped all the sales pitches I got from other firms, was matter-of-fact, but also kind. And HE answers the phone when you call- not an assistant. My case dealt w...ith an adversarial opposing party, but Jim was undaunted. He expertly walked me through the process, and put into perspective what to expect. And we won! His experience and reputation are hard to beat- both for his clients, and the opposing party.

Highly Recommend

I hired Jim to represent me in a contested, adversarial hearing. He is a beast in the courtroom. He is extremely knowledgeable and great at what he does. I highly recommend hiring him, especially if you're dealing with an employer who terminated you without justifiable grounds.
