Best in Class Professional!

I was blessed to have the good fortune to be consulted by Mr. Jame Abrams to assist me in an employment settlement matter. He was very timely and responsive, brought forward strategic thinking, analytical skills, and creativity. He was extremely pleasant to work with, moreover - compassionate, and wa...s demonstrative in his scholarly writing resulting in a winning work product. Mr. Abrams is clear expert labor and employment attorney, whom I will continue to highly recommend to others!

Highly Recommended

I chose Jim to represent me in a case of unresolved work place harassment. He did a tremendous job at relaying my concerns and resolving the issues. He kept me informed on the current issues of the case, and guided me through processes. He provided me with valuable information on how to handle situat...ions when he could not be present, and he was very punctual in regards to returning phone calls and emails. I would recommend Jim to anyone seeking to resolve issues with a positive outcome. He is very knowledgeable about employment laws and his experience in the past with many different organizations proves his ability to comprehend each case and provide an honest opinion on the state of the matter. On a final note, he takes the time to explain the pros and cons of litigation and really seeks to understand your knowledge base and expectations. He seems to listen and accept your input, but he also ensures that you understand the costs and expenses, both monetary and emotional that litigation may bring upon you. Jim deserves 10/5 stars and I can most certainly say I am very satisfied with the services Jim provided.

Ace in the Hole - Worth Every Penny

After an 18 year career I was terminated without notice based on a horrible exaggeration. To make matters worse, my employer fights every unemployment case as a general policy, regardless of the reason for termination. In my case, it meant that my family lost income and health insurance for three ...months while we waited to go through an appeal process. I researched and interviewed several Denver area unemployment lawyers and ultimately chose to hire Jim based on his interview. He seemed to have a tremendous wealth of both knowledge and experience. Furthermore, he seemed to be well connected with the people in the industry, but at the same time he had a great desk-side manner. He was able to answer even the simplest and most repetitive questions of mine. He never spoke to me in a demeaning manner, and he was always willing to answer questions from my husband, even if he had already answered them. He welcomed me into his home for a pre-hearing meeting. He answered my telephone calls when I had questions both before and after the hearing. He met me at the hearing in enough advance time to prepare for the hearing again. The result? We won our appeal in record time. My former employer didn't even show up to the hearing, probably because they were aware that they were up against more than they could handle. The hearing was over in 15 minutes and I received confirmation of our successful ruling in four days. Jim was even willing to give me some advice about how to proceed with regard to my employment search after our successful appeal was completed. In short, Jim Abrams seems like the perfect Ace in the Hole when you are in need of an unemployment lawyer.

Excellent Lawyer!

I am a health care professional that recently had an experience with employee bullying. I was not allowed, even when I asked, to explain what had been happening. I stuck up for myself and several others and I ended up being the one disciplined. I am not typically someone who would seek legal couns...el, but I felt very unprotected in this situation. It was highly recommended to me by my work place peers to get a lawyer. I did not have any idea how to even search. I ended up just googling "labor lawyers for health care professionals" and came across James Abrams name. I left him a message that was urgent as I was to have a meeting the next afternoon with my employer. James called me at 10pm and left a message. He called back at 06:00am and we met at 09:00! I explained my situation, which he documented in detail. In less than an hour, James finished a letter to my employer. I was a little frightened to have this letter sent. It was not threatening in any way, but I am just not the kind of person to seek a lawyer. James gave me the option to send it to them myself so he sent it to me as an email. He strongly advise that I send this letter for my own protection. I made the decision to send it and then met with my employer later that day. The meeting went very well and I was given a lot of respect for my concerns. I was informed by one of my peers that the manager had informed the staff I was returning the next and that I be given the utmost respect and not be asked any questions. My return to work was very comfortable and I was treated very well. I cannot thank James enough for seeing me on such short notice and taking my situation as serious. He is very kind and caring and I felt strongly that I could trust him. He is extremely knowledgeable in the rights of employees and taught me things I had never known.
