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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

I have referred several clients with employment issues to Andrew and he has done an excellent job. He has a wealth of experience in all cases involving employment matters and represents both employers and employees. I strongly endorse this lawyer.

Jobeth Bowers, Wrongful termination Attorney on Dec 22, 2014
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

High regards for Attorney Dansicker. At my former firm I have referred some possible cases to Andy. I've had great feedback from these clients regarding tghe work that was performed for them.

John Singleton, Employment and labor Attorney on Apr 17, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. I strongly endorse Andy. The older I get, the fewer attorneys do I find who are willing to represent plaintiffs in employment actions. Frankly, unless you can win your cases, you will not be successful. Andy is a strong and successful advocate and effective counsel that I feel very comfortable referring cases.

Theodore Godfrey, Employment and labor Attorney on Oct 4, 2011
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I hold Andrew Dansicker in very high regard; I have referred him work, have worked with him on one complex unemployment appeal and have consulted his opinion on several matters. He deserves his high rating here on Avvo; his firm is excellent. I wish him and his staff continued success and would encourage anyone to consider his firm in any labor law matter. I first became aware of his practice in detail around 2009 and my regard for him and his practice continues to this day.
