Skilled, Strategic and Reliable. Jacob is the attorney you want in your corner!

I worked with Jacob Kim for my divorce case in the county of Santa Clara, and I honestly cannot recommend him highly enough. From the beginning, Jacob was everything you want in an attorney — intelligent, strategic, patient, and genuinely supportive. He helped me navigate some of the hardest parts of... the process, including winning a domestic violence restraining order, securing attorney’s fees, and obtaining spousal support. What really sets Jacob apart is that he doesn’t just handle the legal issues — he understands the emotional toll family law cases take. He always made time to explain my options, talk through my worries, and reassure me when the process felt overwhelming. His calm, steady communication made such a difference, and I always felt like he was fully in my corner. Jacob is also refreshingly honest about costs. I told him I needed to manage expenses, and he consistently helped me save where I could. He never pushed unnecessary work, never surprised me with charges, and always recommended the most cost-effective way to move forward without compromising the strength of my case. He’s sharp, compassionate, and truly invested in his clients. I left this experience feeling protected, heard, and well-represented. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares about your wellbeing, Jacob Kim is the person you want. I would work with him again without a second thought.

Knowledgeable Prenup Lawyer

Working with Jacob Kim at Law Office of Steven Dinneen was an incredibly positive experience from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that made me feel informed and confident. Any time I had a question or concern, he got... back to me quickly and was always willing to jump on a call to further explain. Although the whole process took a few months, I never felt rushed and was able to take my time getting everything in order. I would recommend Jacob to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Excellent Divorce Attorney, Compassionate and Dedicated

Jacob came in to represent me after I had to change firms back to Dinneen Law for which I had had exceptional service in the early stages of my custody/divorce case. Jacob took the later stage of what was an highly contested asset split and was able to drive our Marriage Settlement Agreement to closu...re in a timely manner. He always quick and very informative on follow ups and driving my case while handling a very conflictive opposing counsel and party. I recommend Jacob and the offices of Steven Dinneen to anyone going through a difficult divorce case as they are extremely experienced and know the Santa Clara county court system through and through.
