Happy with Dan's work

Dan is a straightforward, no nonsense, and considerate lawyer. He helped me work through a difficult situation and worked to get the best results possible. While he was open to pursuing my desires, he was also very helpful in guiding me to what was realistic. I am very satisfied with his advocacy, wo...rk and advice.

Amazing

I was hired for a job and moved from a US territory specifically for that purpose. Upon arrival the company decided to cancel my offer without notice. Mr Atkerson took my case and get me all of my money for my relocation back. He was concerned about my wellbeing, how I was making my bill payments or ...day to day expenses. He got my case sellted quickly and quietly.

Home towning at its finest

I Am sooooooo glad I had this man in my life. He is very patient and I'm at wits end with the bullying. You NEED the best you need him. I Wouldn't be untruthful to you. My case was victorious and I am on with my life. My baby and I are free from any type of harm or abuse. Hire him.

Very Thorough and Responsive

I have worked with Dan on a couple of occasions now and feel he is quite knowledgeable and experienced in his field as well as other areas of law. He helped to carefully step through the process so no mistakes were made and integrity was preserved for all.

Compassionate Listener and Adviser

Anyone who has lost a job knows the emotional toll it takes on you. And if you have to consult an attorney, the anxiety escalates. Then comes the part where some attorneys would not even bother to return your calls and online inquiries. Dan was the rare exception.....not only did he answer the pho...ne himself every time; he also took the trouble to listen and is compassionate. Even though my case was small, my issue and pain was real, and Dan recognized that. He was very quick in reviewing my document and responding, and did not charge me for the consultation. Dan was a life-saver when I needed just a little support to get going in resolving the issue. I would strongly recommend Dan.

  • 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.
