Excellent Attorney!

I was recently represented by Attorney Dan Atkerson for a sensitive case. I wanted to take the time to share my experience I had while working with Dan on my case as I was incredibly happy to have worked with him. Dan was truly knowledgeable, brought a high level of experience and providing me with a...ll of the options I had throughout the duration of the case. As you can imagine, it is difficult to go through a process like this. Having an Attorney that answers your questions timely and honestly with a great deal of patience and experience is both valuable and comforting. I am very grateful to have chosen Dan. Without Dan’s help I would have not ended up with an excellent result. Working with Dan was the right choice and I want to say thank you Dan for his work! I would strongly recommend to anyone that has a case highly consider working with Dan Atkinson.

Excellent Attorney

Dan was very thorough and honest through my entire process of suing my former company for wrongful termination. Dan was able to negotiate a fair settlement quickly and the process was extremely easy. Highly recommend Dan for any employment legal needs.

My attorney

I’ve used Dan on a few cases and he’s always been prompt and on time. Dan is great with communication and with making sure justice is served.

Handled my matter very well

This attorney assisted me with an employment discrimination matter. He was very helpful before I retained him and advised me throughout the process. My case was eventually settled without going to arbitration.
