Effective representation

Dan Atkerson is an astute attorney who fights hard for his clients. When you hire Dan, you work with Dan exclusively, not an assistant or paralegal.

Dedicated attorney from the initial consult till a resolution is met.

Dan Atkinson is a advocate for those in need. He enters peoples lives when they are at the lowest, and his unwavering dedication gives you the confidence that you are not alone. He took a personal interest in my case, and gave me his full attention. Dan updated me throughout the entire process, and r...esolved the matter in a timely and equitable manner. He is someone that I would recommend without any hesitation.

Highly addictive to Clint.

Highly addictive to Clint. Our case was handled in a professional manner. He consulted us and provided guidelines before we hired his team.

Very Responsive. Outstanding Followup!

I retained Dan Atkerson as my attorney to assist me with a potential age discrimination case against my former employer. After he reviewed the facts he accepted my case and immediately notified my former company of my complaint and demand for a revision to the original settlement offer. He negotiated... and was able to triple the original offer. While we never had a face to face meeting and all of our contact was either via telephone or email, I found Dan to be very responsive and consistent with his followup. He definitely knows how to position a demand for settlement in a way that gets results. I would highly recommend Dan if you should ever need an attorney.

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.
