“When I went to Jacob to get a consult, I was terrified. I’d never imagined I’d be hiring a lawyer for divorce. But he sat there and listened to my concerns and made me feel so comfortable. He didn’t just treat me like some new client or the next paycheck. He treated me like a friend and was there every step of the way.

“I hired Jacob to represent me in a very difficult divorce case involving mental health and custody issues. Jacob proved to be professional, trustworthy, and reliable from the start. Over the time that I worked with him, I found that at every turn he showed really sound judgment in the particularly sensitive issues of my case. My ex-spouse tried to delay the divorce as long as possible, but Jacob help get it finalized in what was, for my case, a timely and efficient turn around. I highly recommend Jacob and his team. In the several months we worked together from consultation, to mediation, temp and eventually final orders, I have no complaints at all.” – Client, Avvo.com
“Jacob Dannen is a highly skilled, knowledgeable, compassionate, and fair attorney. My family law case involved a difficult, challenging opposing party who refused to negotiate, respond to discovery / subpoenas / requests to produce required documents, and generally refused to cooperate with the legal process. However, Mr. Dannen exhibited an ability to negotiate professionally and firmly, ensuring that I received the modifications I was seeking in my suit. He is very professional, and also easy-going and likable. I’m thankful that I had Mr. Dannen to represent me during this stressful and frustrating time.” – Client, Avvo.com
