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 ...

I was a client of Dan Atkerson on a disability discrimination case in regards to reasonable accomodation. I had a car accident and was fired from my employer after giving them a copy of my doctor's note. I contacted him for help and he did not communicate or respond in an effective manner considering...
I care about the needs of all my clients, and I that is why I have been a successful lawyer for 32 years in Texas. I tried to help this lady even though she only had a seasonal low paying job that would have only lasted about 6 more weeks only regardless after her termination. She never paid me a dime, and I do not charge any fees at all unless I obtain a settlement or recovery. She only hired me to send a settlement demand letter to the company, and that is what I did for free. I got a response from the employer in less than 3 weeks after sending it, and that is a normal turnaround time. She did not like the response but I cannot control how a company responds or how fast they respond. Thus, her statement above that I did not communicate or respond in an effective manner is a lie and false and slanderous. I told her upfront before she hired me to send a demand letter that I could not take the case for filing of a court lawsuit, and she never hired me to file a lawsuit on her case. She still has plenty of time to file a lawsuit if she wants with or without another lawyer. I simply asked her not to slander me online but she persists and does not appreciate that I tried to help her for free. However, I cannot be bullied into taking a case for lengthy lawsuit on contingency that has very little monetary value when her seasonal low paying job was ending anyway about 6 weeks after her termination. Call me and judge me and my services for yourself.

Odd experience
Hired him for discrimination claim against employer. And without good explanation he dropped the case leaving me frantically searching for new attorney. Never meet face to face. And only corresponded through email. Not reliable.
I have been a practicing attorney for 32 years with a spotless record with the State Bar of Texas. I pride myself on excellent and prompt client communications. I have no idea who posted this but guarantee you they never paid me a dime because I only charge a fee if I win. I do cases in two phases: pre-lawsuit and then lawsuit if the case cannot be resolved and if there are sufficient grounds to file a lawsuit. If I did not further pursue the case to litigation it was because there were not sufficient grounds to pursue it, and the client pays me nothing unless I recover money for them. So I tried to help this person, got paid nothing and was trashed when I could not proceed further.
