Corporate Severance Package Negotiation

Upon retaining Mr. Dansicker, he immediately entered into negotiations with my employer who had terminated me while I was on a medical leave of absence. My employer had offered me two weeks of severance with no coverage for health insurance. Mr. Dansicker authored an accurate, thorough, and convinc...ing letter that immediately drew the attention of the company's attorneys. Although my former employer was not obligated to offer me anything, Mr. Dansicker convinced them to change their offer to five times the original offer. Between the multiple telephone calls to my employer and the letter, Mr. Dansicker was persuasive, assertive, and convincing. I found Mr. Dansicker to be empathetic and personable. He took the time to listen and ask appropriate questions. He carefully crafted an argument and followed up with the corporate attorney, as necessary. Again, although my former employer was not obligated to give me a single penny, Mr. Dansicker won my case plus some. This is a testament to Mr. Dansicker's professionalism, legal knowledge, experience, and determination. I would highly recommend Andrew Dansicker for any employment law issue, and I would readily use Andrew again should I or my family ever find themselves in a similar predicament.

Incredible lawyer

Andrew is amazing! He is definitely top of his game. From the moment I called until my issue was settled he made me feel at ease. Andrew is extremely professional, and makes sure you understand all of your options in depth. I had an issue with a former employer and this went better than I could of im...agined. Will absolutely use again if need be, and will recommend him anywhere I can!

Hired Andrew, Situation handled, On with life

I hired Andrew to handle my employee/employer situation. Other lawyers said there was no money in it so would not take it. Andrew took the case for a reasonable fee, handled it without drama - just sound, logical and experienced legal practices. I was impressed by his negotiation skills and his legal... positioning. And even more so by his genuine caring. He even returned his own phone calls.

Equitable Solution

Andrew was recommended by a colleague to help me work through an amendment to an existing employment contract with a non-compete clause attached to it. I believed the original signed agreement, which had no termination date, to be detrimental to my long term future and I needed to make changes to the... agreement after I had already resigned from my employer. The non-compete clause would have effectively prevented me from working in my field of work for an extended period of time leaving me with no means to obtain a source of income via my training and education during this time frame. Andrew reviewed my existing contract, provided his assessment of my legal standing under Maryland law and worked with me to plan a course of action. Andrew negotiated an equitable solution for me with my ex-employer and did so within a relatively short period of time. I am very satisfied with his assistance and guidance toward the resolution of my particular situation and would recommend Andrew for those with employment contract / non-compete concerns.

Andrew Dansicker positively provided a rating of service that is hard to come by these days!!!

Andrew Dansicker was truly a beacon of hope as well as help for me while going through a strenuous transition in my career. His help to cut to the chase and give me real answers was very helpful. Not only does he provide truth and honesty in his answers,he is right and reliable... and, finally, A...ndrew Dansicker presented himself to me as a very humble and simple person... upon my arrival – the door leading to his practice was locked and no one appeared to be sitting at the receptionist desk; I noticed a door bell to the left of me so I rang it. Andrew immediately appeared with a welcoming smile to open the door. Andrew introduced himself,he offered me water to drink,seated me in the conference room and let me know he would be right back to meet with me. His receptionist Tiffany was also very welcoming and approachable; every interaction with her was always professional in addition to any time I called in to the office Tiffany never made me feel like she was to busy to address my concerns. The Law Office of Andrew M. Dansicker, LLC ... is to me a REAL example of raising The Bar!!! Andrew thank you for your amazing mastery of skills you provided for me; I followed your advice word for word and was given the exact outcome that you had described form your passed experience. Lastly, on that morning I googled the direction to his location – my GPS took me to the correct area of his location... but it listed him in Executive Plaza III but he is located in Executive Plaza II ) Just as I was about to cancel my appointment – Mr. Dansicker was there to save my day because he answer the phone when I called - literately he stayed on the phone to guide my way to the correct building. Sincerely a SATISFIED!!! client.

"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."
