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 attorne...ys 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. Thi...s 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 concer...ns, 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.

Lawyer Wanted $300 To Talk!

I have a clear cut case--piles of evidence that my superior lied about me in print on evaluations and also proof that he ignored the ADA and did not provide the reasonable accommodations I had requested and had had approved. This attorney could have made a pile off my case. But greed replaced commo...n sense--he wanted me to pay a $300 fee just to talk to him and then a retainer. Uhhhh, this is a WRONGFUL TERMINATION case. I HAVE NO MONEY BECAUSE I WAS FIRED UNJUSTLY. So where on earth do I come up with all this extra money to fight for money? If I had money, I wouldn't need him! He is another money hungry piranha in a sea of shark-infested corporate water; I'm just a very small fish with a legitimate claim.

Replied last May 18, 2017

I am sorry you are frustrated, but your frustration is misplaced. We are a very small law firm -- only two attorneys -- with a stellar reputation that is contacted by nearly 400 potential new clients every month (nearly all of whom tell us that they have a "clear-cut case" that will win a "pile" of money). While our initial telephone intake interview is free, if we have determined that you might have a legitimate case, we require a $300 fee for a legal analysis consultation, where we meet with you for an hour or longer, review all of your documents and give you our legal analysis of the strength of your case and your best options moving forward. If we are interested in representing you moving forward, we may offer a full contingency fee agreement, or a hybrid agreement that includes a reduced hourly fee and a reduced contingency fee. Unfortunately, we simply cannot afford to provide free in-person meetings with every potential client, as we would never have time to get any work completed. You certainly would not go to see a doctor to find out if you have a medical problem and not expect to pay for his or her time, so why would you expect anything different from an attorney? The reality is that you get what you pay for. . . .

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.

"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."

"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."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
