Competent, persevering, respectful and *kind*... all in one person.

Attorney Olson took this case when another lawyer would not because he thought it would be too difficult, etc. I truly do mean what is stated in the four words in the above title! I should also add "honest" and (in this case) "successful." In a nutshell, Alan generally seemed to act as if the "Golden... Rule" was his guide, as the case went on for over half a year. I would highly recommend that people call Attorney Olson if they at all believe that he may be able to help them. (Blessings to you, Alan!)

Alan Olson Did A Great Job!

Alan has done an outstanding job representing me with my disability benefits claim. Because of his hard work, expertise, honesty and professional attention to all the details, he was able to get me a very satisfactory settlement. Alan is a man of integrity and always did the right thing through...out the whole process. He was thorough with his research regarding cases similar to mine. He kept me informed and always gave me good counsel regarding the options I had. Alan fought hard for me and did not back down when the opposing side tried to play hardball. He was also very kind and patient explaining things to me on the phone and in emails. He even did two conference calls with me and my brother so I could have more questions answered. Whenever I called him, he always answered the phone right away or called me back quickly. Alan put in a lot of time helping me. I could not have gotten a better attorney to handle my difficult claim. It was a pleasure working with him!

Age discrimination in the workplace

If you're looking for an attorney that is upfront and honest do not hesitate to chose Alan Olson. On our first meeting he felt that I had a strong case and his professionalism and expertise got me the results I was hoping for. If you feel that you've been discriminated against in the workplace Alan... Olson will get you what you rightfully deserve.

Trustworthy and Professional

I was entangled in an emotionally draining and chaotic mess with my disrespectful employer. Attorney Olson had the practical experience and fortitude to tackle the two-day hearings and tricky tactics of the opposition with courtesy and professional acumen. My case has dragged on due to long wait t...imes from the other lawyer and the DWD agency turnaround time. Attorney Olson has maintained patience and courtesy even in several provoking encouters which has helped me keep my emotions under control. I interviewed 5 lawyers and researched 20 others online. I'm convinced that no other lawyer available could have helped me at all. Because of Alan Olson's grasp of legal minutiae and his confident competence my former employer was forced to take my claim seriously and decided to settle. I am profoundly grateful for Alan Olson's persistence in this exhausting ordeal.

Excellent employment lawyer

Atty. Olson was a huge help to me in resolving a very stressful situation with my employer. His composure and quick responses were very comforting during the legal process. Atty. Olson negotiated well on my behalf, and I was able to get a much higher settlement than my employer was willing to offer.... I would recommend Atty. Olson to anyone who is looking for expertise in employment law. I also think it is very important that Atty. Olson works on behalf of employees, not employers.
