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.

Professional, Responsive, Effective and treats you like family!

I will add one more word to describe Dan Atkerson as well... HONEST! These types of issues are very difficult and stressful to go through. He was the only attorney to contact me directly (every time), provided a free consultation with straight-forward answers, sound advice, and no hard sales or press...ure. He let me consider all options, talk to family and friends, call back with questions, whatever I needed before moving forward. Dan was/is very personable, reliable, and an overall blessing in a time of need. It was also very calming and reassuring to have someone like Dan to get involved that knows the law so well. I have read a lot of the other 5-star reviews on here and I agree with them all. He is a great listener, communicator, provides excellent council, always prompt and was no doubt the best choice. He is experienced, well poised and represented me with tremendous integrity and tenacity. He is a true practitioner of employment law and a credit to his profession. I so appreciated how accessible he made himself and always called me personally to discuss anything or return a call. It's as close to feeling like family as you're ever going to experience. Yes, as others have noted... even over weekends if necessary. I definitely felt valued as a person and knew I had someone truly standing in my corner. I highly recommend Dan Atkerson if you find yourself in need of a solid employment/labor law attorney.

This Attorney is Professional and Competent!

I hired Dan to take on my unlawful termination situation. He was quick to respond to my voice message, wasted no time explaining thoroughly what the outcome may be, and the process. I would utilize him again as a first choice - if ever needed. Thank you for being a "Stellar Attorney"

Professional – Trustworthy – Effective

Mr. Atkerson is very accessible, diligent, and dependable. He was very patient with me, always answered my questions, and gave me objective counsel I knew I could trust. He was very knowledgeable about the case that I brought to him. His hard work and diligence resulted in a favorable outcome in my c...ase. I was very comfortable throughout this process and would retain his services in the future.
