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.

AMAZING Family Law Attorney

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Jacob Dannen at Key Law Firm during my divorce. From the very first consultation, Jacob was professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. Divorce is one of the most stressful experiences a person can go through, but Jacob made the ...entire process feel manageable and strategic instead of overwhelming. What truly sets Jacob Dannen apart is his combination of sharp legal expertise and genuine care for his clients. He took the time to clearly explain every step, answer all of my questions (no matter how small), and make sure I felt confident in every decision we made. His attention to detail and preparation were evident in every interaction and especially in negotiations. The team at Key Law Firm was also outstanding — responsive, organized, and supportive throughout the entire process. Communication was always prompt, and I never felt left in the dark about what was happening with my case. Most importantly, Jacob fought for my best interests while maintaining professionalism and integrity. His strategic approach helped secure a fair outcome, and I truly believe I would not have achieved the same result without his guidance and advocacy. If you are facing a divorce and need an attorney who is knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and truly dedicated to his clients, I highly recommend Jacob Dannen at Key Law Firm. He turned an incredibly difficult chapter of my life into something I could move forward from with confidence and peace of mind.

Jacob Dannen & Key Law

I should begin by saying that I had utilized two other lawyers initially, but the best results I had in my case were only obtained by Jacob Dannen. Jacob handled my case and all the changes promptly and swiftly and genuinely cared about the case and the outcome at each turn. Jacob communicates ...updates very well and works to build a strategy with you as the client, not a universal premade case strategy based solely off passed case experiences. Your situation is likely unique to you and should be treated as such and with Jacob, it will be. Not only would I recommend Jacob and his team at Key Law, I already have, twice... and both of those referrals I already know are also in great hands and receiving the help that they needed.

Superb Representation

From beginning to end, Jacob Dannen provided strong assistance for my case. He was communicative, empathetic, assertive when necessary, and extremely proactive. Overwhelmingly recommend him.

Fantastic Lawyer

I was going through a very very difficult separation that involved a house that I owned with my ex. It’s never an easy thing needing to seek the legal services of a lawyer, but I’m so glad that I found the Evans Law Group. I primarily worked with both Jacob Dannen and Ashley Szymonek and they have be...en absolutely amazing to work with. They understood my complex situation and provided me with the best legal options possible and got me what I wanted at the end of the day. I never thought I’d ever find myself in this situation, but they made me feel incredibly comfortable and fought hard for what I deserved. I hope to never need a lawyer again in the future, but if I do, I won’t hesitate to choose the Evans Law Group again.

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."
