My husband worked for a local branch of government and was fired for unjust causes due to an accusation made by another employee. He was denied unemployment benefits, so we hired Mr. Dansicker’s law firm to handle the appeal hearing with DLLR (as well as a settlement which is detailed in another r...eview).
We originally met with Andreas Lundstedt, an attorney employed by Andrew’s firm, and we were very pleased with him. He took lots of notes, asked very good questions and was very thorough. Neither my husband nor I had a very high opinion of lawyers (I have a relative that is a lawyer and I deal with lawyers in my volunteer work), but our opinion changed after meeting with this attorney. He took the ball and ran with it…he sent a letter to DLLR requesting the hearing to be rescheduled and for it to be an in-person hearing (DLLR had the original appeal hearing as via telephone), kept us informed and answered our questions/concerns as they arose promptly.
About one week before the new hearing date, Mr. Lundstedt was called out of state unexpectedly and Mr. Dansicker stepped in to handle our case for us.
When we looked for an attorney, it became clear that many attorneys don’t want to bother with you if the case won’t bring them what they deem to be a big rate of return on the time they invest. That was not the case with Andrew. He treated our case very seriously, met with us to go over the facts, briefed us on what to expect, read the documentation we brought, patiently answered our questions and addressed our concerns and, the night before, spent time reviewing the file at home.
He came to the hearing on-time and totally prepared and, as one person said, “knocked it out of the parkâ€. He had a thorough understanding of the case, what actually transpired that day involving my husband and what was written up in his file that was not true. He was so effective in the examination of the so-called witnesses presented by the employer, that it was determined by the hearing judge their testimonies were not credible. The only testimonies that were given credibility were that of our character witness and my husband’s!
The decision to deny unemployment was overturned and my husband received all the benefits that were due to him.
By the way….he’s a nice guy, too.
