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.

Mr. Atkerson assisted me with a potential discrimination case against my former employer. He was very responsive by both phone and email, whichever I preferred and kept me up to date thru the entire process. I would highly recommend Dan Atkerson!

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.

Fast, listens to client, understands issues

What an amazing person to have on your side when facing adversity. The adversity turned Triumph with Dan on my side. I was on paternity leave and a huge firm decided to lay me off while on paternity leave. I called 10 Attorney’s and all were negative except fir Dan. He got me a quick settlement and a... good relationship fot future issues. Works in Probono so no upfront fees. Gods bless this man and his work!! Amazing !!
