What you don't know can hurt you

2 parts to this story. Dansicker successfully resolved the wage issues. But did not resolve other issues. First he wrote to me that he is not a tax person. Then told me employers are not required to file certain things with the Feds, State or other agencies which is not true. Then stopped responding.... So, I have to spend massive amounts of time trying to resolve on my own because the employer did not report all wages and report to the gov't. I believe all that was necessary was to have a clause in the settlement agreement stating that certain conditions already required by law be met otherwise the employer would be in breach of the agreement and liable. And this happened with Dansicker not once but twice.

Excellent Lawyer - Listens, on-point representation

From the screening discovery phase, Andrew's skill lies in patiently understanding the issue surrounding a wrongful termination. Andrew's team will process your case efficiently, it takes time to negotiate and patience is a virtue. Best advice is go for the long-haul and be comfortable with waiting....

Piss poor

Just got a call back from a inquiry... refuses to work with you... had a issue with unemployment during covid... said they only have one lawyer working on unemployment issues (and of course trolling for the higher dollar cases) The para legal who called me said i should seek another unemployment law...yer.. When I ask her if this firm dealt with unemployment issues and why i should seek someone else... see sent me a link to the MD advicate and refused to answer anymore questions, as she in serendipitous manner, said of i hace phone calls on hold... BS

stay away

To give the best review of Mr. Dansicker and his office would be only two words, STAY AWAY. The EEOC’s determination against the company that wrongfully terminated my employment, stated they retaliated against me, and as well, denied a reasonable medical accommodation. Mr. Dansicker talked a goo...d game in the initial consultation so I hired him to represent me in arbitration and or court if necessary. I put total trust in him and told him so. After this process started, he told me that I sent him too much evidence, but yet he didn’t point out any if this evidence or law violations to the company during the negotiation, even when the company said they did nothing wrong. He told me I was unreasonable and demanding when I questioned the 13-page agreement the company wrote, and my concerns that there were virtually no protections with many of my concerns. When the company violated the requirements of the agreement by not sending me tax documents, he took the side of the company when I notified him of this breach of contract. He even lied to me about the frequency of contact with the company. To date I am still out a lot of money due to this breach of the agreement, and appears that I will have to pay to even get what was due to me per the agreement. With this experience it seems Mr. Dansicker is only interested in a quick buck and is willing to throw his client under the bus to get that buck. STAY AWAY

Scared

Scared of major companies. Not willing to go the extra mile. Started off strong, ended up fragile. Paid a lawyer for my case that was cut and dry! The first email was tough then it was just embarrassing from there on out. Literally asked for a certain amount without even talking to me first, sta...rted with 40k ended with 12. This guy is straight either scared of real companies or just a sad lawyer. I called him numerous times and all j heard was kids in the background. I’m not saying you can’t be a lawyer with kids, but the professionalism never existed. If your not fight a mom and pop shop, go with someone else. This guy has no back bone, and that’s all a lawyer needs. You can’t say things with your chest if you don’t have one and this guy is not it. If you are fighting a major company this guy CAN NOT help you.

"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."

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."
