Thank you Jacob

I want to be clear. I actually like this guy as a person. He did a phenomenal job with my custody case for my son. Not only did he get all of the results I asked for, but he did it under pressure. The negotiations got pretty ugly on that day in court. It really is hard to find a lawyer that has k...nowledge of the law, coupled with a "character skill set" that allows for a successful application and delivery on matters when it matters.. Honestly But then to be very likable on top of that is TRULY rare. He's a good man, and a superb lawyer. Don't skip over this one. He's like the punch you get to land, but nobody saw coming. Just the way a good win tends to come about.

Best Of The BEST ❤️

Jacob was always professional, honest and supportive. From the consultation to the final hearing he was very thorough and on top of his game. As a father, it is a frightening battle to fight for custody for your children and there wasn’t a time that I felt that he ever gave up. He was transparent and... his and his teams communication skills were subpar. I will always recommend him, no matter what the case is!

Hard working honest lawyer

Jacob is a honest, hard working lawyer, who helped me through a very stressful time in my life. He helped me achieve what I wanted, and to be able to be a part of my children’s lives, by representing me with the utmost professionalism and urgency.

Trustworthy attorney with excellent judgment

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 se...nsitive 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.

Super awesome divorce lawyer

Mr. Jacob Dannen and Ashley have been great in helping me with and through my divorce. I spoke with him a year ago about my situation and he has done a wonderful job helping me understand. I have two children with my ex and do not feel safe with letting them be around him. Mr. Dannen was able to prop...ose a custody phase situation that requires my husband to follow certain rules, hopefully this forces my husband to realize he has no chouce but to be responsible. My filing for divorce started about year ago (around the start of the covid19 pandimic). It hasn't really been to stressful due to the quick communication from Mr. Dannen. He was able to communicate most things with me and speak with my ex husband so I would not have to. There have been times where I was upset or nervous about things my husband was saying and doing and Mr. Dannen always put me at ease, even made me laugh about situations. Because of Covid we never got to meet face to face, but again, his quick communication was on par. I understand divorce can cost up to $15 thousand or more, but Mr. Dannen was able to keep it in my budget, I paid up front and reciever $0 invoices. In total my divorce was less than $3 thousand. Highly recommend and will be referring him to anyone I cross in need of a fair divorce.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have had several highly contested family law hearings with Mr. Dannen that have lasted several days each time. Jacob was well prepared and represented his clients very well. My dealings with him as a co-professional in the area and community are very good. He responds quickly to requests and doesn't play games as he looks for what is in the best interests of his clients. I would hire him if I needed a family law attorney. Jacob is also very involved with the local Bar Association."
