Dan beats giant corporation

I got fired from working at a huge corporation, as an older woman with a disability after being with the Company for nineteen years. I initially contacted a couple of attorneys who were not interested in taking my case or even talking to me. Fortunately, I found Dan Atkerson. I left a message on his ...answering machine and he immediately called me back and took the time to listen to my story. On the spot, he agreed to represent me. The Company refused to give me any severance pay, but after just four months, Mr. Atkerson had finalized a settlement, and I promptly received a check. There was not any out of pocket expense for attorney’s fees. Giving up a small percentage of the settlement in exchange was so well worth it. I never would have received a settlement without Mr. Atkerson. My former giant company has the best of the best attorneys. It’s not easy winning against them and they are intimidating. The only chance you have to win is to have an attorney yourself who is the best of the best. Mr. Atkerson not only stood up for me and helped me get what I deserved, but I know that justice has been done. If you unfairly get fired as I did, don’t think that you don’t have an option. Let Dan Atkerson help you. He did an incredible job helping me.

Man of the People

Dan was the only attorney to answer my calls/emails when I was in a tight spot and needed an employment attorney. Dan answers quickly and makes the process as easy as one can make it, especially when the clock is ticking and you're not sure what to do next. Thanks again, Dan!

Excellent Representation

My friend referred me to a law firm that specializes in labor disputes, representing both employers and employees. I stated my case and spent two weeks going back and forth with the paralegal, who was in contact with the attorney, before they finally quoted me their prices. Unfortunately, the quote s...uggested they assumed I was a large corporation with deep pockets, which I am not. The day before receiving their quote, not wanting to deal with a firm that seemed uninterested in taking my case seriously, I searched for labor lawyers in the Dallas area using ChatGPT. Dan Atkerson's practice was at the top of the list. After visiting his website and watching a couple of his videos, my gut told me he was the right choice. My gut was right. Dan listened to me, truly heard me, and gave me excellent advice. I knew I could trust his sage opinion. Once he took my case, he provided outstanding representation. He was honest and didn’t sugarcoat his thoughts, communicated quickly and proactively, treated my case with urgency and ownership, and gave great advice when it came time to negotiate. I am beyond happy—ecstatic!—with the very lucrative and speedy outcome. If you have a labor issue with an employer, look no further.
