Employment Law

Dan handled my case well. He followed through quickly on all correspondence and negotiation. He kept me up to date. He offered good, sound advice. He knows the employment laws, and has good practical sense.

Honest and responsive!

Dan was wonderful throughout the process of my claim. He always responded immediately to my questions and concerns, and was great at clarifying anything that was unclear to me.

Hostile Work Invironment/Sexual Harassment Case

Dan Atkerson always kept me informed on how my case was going and sent me all communication with the other parties. I did not think a lawyer would even take my case, but he did. My case was settled in a timely manner and I am very pleased with the outcome considering the reason. I feel like I have so...me peace now and hopefully this will not happen to anyone else at the place of employment in question. Thank you Mr. Dan A. Atkerson!!

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.

Bully Lawyer that love promoting his 30 or 32 year career only

I told Dan that my employer was not interested in a settlement. ..I think he thought if he told my former employer about his career and 30/32 years as an attorney and they would just settle on his credentials...He wasted my time...didn't communicate...threatened to sue me if I did a review....oh yea ...he did the same thing to me as the previous client...once my former employer declined settlement he did not contact me...I contacted him and he let me know at that moment he couldn't represent me in a lawsuit...That was what I was going to him for...he had emotional responses said he want let me steal from him or his family...huh.??? Now I am a thief....I hate I contacted this law office....So Dan you can sue me because of my opinion that is no where near false...

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
