Employment Law Case

Dan was very helpful when representing my case. He convinced me to hold out on an offer and negotiated a more favorable settlement. It is obvious his experience in employment law is an advantage when looking for representation in the case.

Highly recommended

Attorney Atkerson is very professional. He stayed on top of my employment settlement case, communicated with the employer and myself promptly, and got the case settled perfectly. Highly recommended!

Treats his clients well!

I hired Dan to handle an employment separation agreement. The first thing I noticed is how quick he is to respond to you, regardless of the time of day. He is knowledgeable and is clearly an advocate for his clients. I appreciated his knowledge, experience, tenacity and most of all the care he gives ...in handling his clients and their cases.

Best Attorney Ever!

I recently ran into an issue where I needed representation and I was fortunate enough to find an Attorney Like Dan Atkerson! He actually cares about you, fights for you, and makes sure you understand every process. He advises you on the best course to take and has your best interest in mind. If you l...anded on Atkerson's page looking for Legal help, just stop looking. There is no comparison to Dan.

Highly Skilled Tenacious Attorney

Mr.Dan Atkerson represented me in an employment wage dispute/wrongful termination case at the workplace and I could not be more happier to have him as a legal partner. Dan is a highly knowledgeable, trustworthy employment attorney who can guide you through the process. He was very open and remaine...d realistic in explaining the process and always polite in answering the questions. I was impressed with Dan’s ability to get up to speed on the facts of my case and pushed hard to settle the dispute on time with the best of his legal skills. He made a difficult time a little easier and less stressful, which I greatly appreciate. I highly recommend Mr. Dan Atkerson for anyone who wishes to seek legal guidance on employment related disputes and urgent help. I was fortunate to have him present my case and bring me SMILES.
