A lawyer who cares, brilliant and honest.
I actually think I was lucky to find a lawyer like him. Before I met Andrew Dansicker, my view of lawyers was as follows: I don't like or trust most lawyers. I think they are the major problem in the universe and the US. I think they are the reason for the issues in government and healthcare. With that being said this man sort of changed my mind and thought process regarding lawyers. I have required his services over the last 1.5 years. Over that time, I have found him to be: Honest/ Trust worthy Punctual Hard working Outstanding Knowledge base Great experience Gives Outstanding advice Advice is not always what you want to hear but he gives advice that you need to hear as well(like this is not a legal issue or you don't have a case in this regard) He was honest, straight forward and worked from his heart as well as his mind. He was trust worthy. He helped me deal with issues that most lawyers would not have and did turn and run from. He gave me not only great advice but wasn't afraid of dealing with and had the clear experience to deal with fighting big employers and corporations even hospitals and university's that are supposedly number in the country. I thank him for helping obtain peace of mind and stopping other from harressing and maligning my name. He was so good that I went back to him to help me understand my new contract and employment.

Strong recommendation of Andrew Dansicker
Of course one only needs an employment attorney when something bad has happened. I went home and googled employment attorneys. I have known Andrew Dansicker for several years and while I knew he was an attorney, I did not know his specialty. When Andrew’s name came up in my google search, I pulled up his web site. The kindness and warm feeling at a very dark time for me was all I needed to send in a request for a free consultation. Andrew was wonderful to work with, he was kind, caring, and responsive, he followed up, and he tried his best for me. In the end he was able to negotiate improved terms with my former employer. I hope you never need an employment attorney, but if you do I recommend Andrew Dansicker without reservation.

Outstanding employment lawyer - Look no further
I hired Andrew Dansicker based on online reviews and am glad I hired him. He is incredibly personable, an outstanding communicator - both in listening and providing his thoughts on solution, a focused professional and unbelievably fair. He is the lawyer a regular person wants to hire, normal conversation to get you to what you are trying to accomplish and then finding the optimal resolution. I would 100% use his services again if ever needed and would tell those in search of these services to look no further.

Wrongful termination
Andrew helped me get through a difficult termination issue. He fought hard for me but was honest & straightforward about my limited chances to succeed. To my surprise he was able to negotiate a much better resolution than I had expected and helped me move on to a new start. Make this the first call in your new career.

Professional, responsive and got the job done!
I met with Andrew thinking that I had a clear cut case. He took the time to educate me on the law, the potential outcome and the process so that I could make the right decision. I chose to hire Andrew and never regretted it. He was always in communication with me, he was realistic in managing my expectations and at the end of the day he got the job done. I highly recommend his services if you are looking for a labor law expert and someone who is responsive, extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Could never find a better attorney.
Without a shadow of doubt, I can honestly say that I have never met a more experienced, competent, polite, professional person in my life much less an attorney. In fact, when I needed an attorney with whom to consult, I probably contacted every attorney organization on the web, every list of attorneys from as many sources as I could find and not one attorney would assist me. I contacted at least 75 attorneys and all wanted a a huge retainer for their services which I could not afford at the time. Some of the attorneys that I contacted wanted a $30,000 retainer to take my case. However, the only attorney to call me back, consult with me free of charge, give me an honest opinion on my case, and agree to represent me on a contingency basis was Mr. Dansicker. He worked with me on finances and never once demanded any money from me. He never promised me a win in my case but promised to do the best job he could for me which he did. There is no doubt I would HIGHLY recommend him to all of my family and friends and have nothing but the highest accolades for his assistance and professionalism. He is an outstanding attorney and I am positive you will be hard-pressed to fine anyone better to represent you and work with you financially. What a wonderful person. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Dansicker. He truly is a rarity in the legal professional. Mr. Dansicker, thank you for everything and I am positive I could have never found anyone better to represent me. Dr. P Share

Unemployment Hearing
It's quite rare to find a lawyer that sincerely cares about your best interest. However, Andrew truly resets the stereotype that anyone might have had towards an employment lawyer. He graciously shared his knowledge of the law regarding my circumstances and explained the legal journey before me. This only validated my initial impression of him. He gave me the confidence I needed to be as prepared as possible. His price, attitude and easy to access work ethic made this process smooth. I WON my case!

Responsive, Professional and Compassionate
I found Andrew Dansicker to be an excellent attorney in working with me on a matter with my employer. With Mr. Dansicker's assistance, we were able to come to a mutually agreeable solution in a situation that was initially quite hostile. I found Andrew to be very responsive to my questions and concerns, often responding within minutes to emails I sent to him. I felt Andrew Dansicker was very professional, knowledgeable and seemed to genuinely care about my situation.

Good job! My case was settled with a good and fair outcome. Andrew patiently listened and handled the case professionally. I hope that going forward that the employer will put more thought into hiring and retention practices for a more diverse and balanced workforce. I can only hope that a seed has been planted.

Expertise Combined With Integrity and Efficiency
Finding yourself in need of an attorney because of discrimination and/or retaliation issues with an employer can truly be upsetting. After a lot of soul-searching and reading up on discrimination and retaliation, I knew I had to pursue the matter, because what was happening just wasn't right. I did a thorough search online and decided upon Andrew Dansicker because of his extensive experience in working for both employers and employees, the reviews by those he has helped and his peers. as well as the professional high quality of his web-site. It was definitely the right decision. He was easy to talk to, clearly explained things from both my employer's and my perspective and let me know what he believed he could do for me. I found him to be straightforward, honest and down to earth. I found the fees to be reasonable. Thanks to Mr. Dansicker, I more than doubled (almost tripled) the offer my employer wanted to give me to resolve the issue. And for that I am grateful. I recommend him highly!

Be confident this is the right guy for the job!
I hired Mr. Dansicker to help with labor discrimination from a huge healthcare institution in Baltimore. He promptly returned every email or message I had with questions about my case, gave excellent advice on how to deal with their bullying tactics and represented me in a way that I truly felt I had someone in my corner who understood the details of the situation. During the settlement conference, he refused to bow down to them and even got them to settle for an amount higher than he typically sees. I am positive he could help you as much as he helped me!

Very helpful, polite, professional, and a winner
After my former employer refused to honor an agreement for payment, I contacted Andrew Dansicker for advice. Andrew was able to negotiate with the company to get me a fair package and settle my dispute with the company in a timely manner. I'm glad I called Andrew to have him review my case. Initially they tried to throw a little money at me to make me go away after Andrew sent them a demand letter, but he knew our case was strong and we refused their offer. After a couple rounds of negotiations, we settled on an amount that seemed fair to each party. Thanks Andrew!

Fantastic experience and better than expected outcome.
If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, honest, and goes after what is right for you...call Andrew Dansicker. Any issue that came about, Andrew knew exactly what to do. He worked tirelessly from the day I hired him, until my case was successfully resolved. He kept me informed every step of the way and was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Andrew gave me the opportunity to prevail over a previous employer that withheld what was owed to me.

Thank you, Andrew
After finding myself in a difficult situation due to a separation with my employer, I scheduled a consultation with Andrew. During my consultation, Andrew was patient, listened to all the details, and then thoughtfully and carefully laid out my options. At this meeting, I never felt pressured to make a quick decision and Andrew encouraged me to take some time to assess my options. When negotiations proved more trying than anticipated, Andrew did not waiver. He continued to work to get the most comprehensive severance package. His communication was excellent. He kept me updated on a regular basis. During these updates, he was realistic, but positive throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Andrew if you have an employment issue. I truly appreciate his guidance, thoughtfulness, and dedication to my case.

After working with Andrew once I would never use another attorney
I'll start by saying that I was involved in a tricky workplace situation. After doing some research I understood the challenges and started interviewing attorneys. The first couple I spoke to only wanted to tell me how wonderful they were and how easy the whole process would be. Then I met Andrew and he did not try to 'sell' me. He laid out the hurdles and the courses of action. Hired him on the spot. Over the next 3 months the issue was resolved almost exactly as he laid out in the first meeting. He was outstanding in keeping me informed and responded extremely quickly to all questions I had. The outcome met my expectations and it was a transparent process with Andrew letting me know the truth rather than what I wanted to hear.
