I used Daniel Dannenbaum for family law purposes and found it to be a pleasant, informative, and productive experience. He is especially good at laying out all possible options, and then walking you through the details and documents. I would (and have) recommend him.

Sharp, thorough, timely, and professional... my experience, though difficult, was expedited quickly and cleanly at very reasonable cost.

Thank you

I came home from work one day to a note in my chair from my husband of over 28 years saying that he was unhappy and left our marriage. Needless to say, this left me as something of a basket case. Mr. Dannenbaum listened to me. He very carefully walked me through the process of a totally unexpected divorce. He treated me with respect, even on my worse days. Mr. Dannenbaum encouraged me to listen to my own common sense, but was available anytime I needed a legal perspective or a neutral third party opinion. I cannot imagine any attorney working with or for me better than Mr. Dannanbaum. I sincerely believe that I came out of the divorce financially, mentally and emotionally in a good place thanks to the very high quality service provided to me by Mr. Dannenbaum. I am very grateful to him and his professional services.

Dan Dannenbaum was my legal counsel during a difficult divorce. He was attentive, extremely responsive and sensitive throughout the process. He was always available and took the necessary time o explain the process and available options. I'm very satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend Dan.

Mr. Dannenbaum provided exceptional service during my time of need. My total experience with him, along with his staff, afforded my process to be seamless and efficient.

Mr. Dannenbaum provided sound and timely legal guidance. Recommend to others for sure.

My interaction with Dan was good. He is well known in the legal field. My family case was taking care of quickly and he was very honest with us on what my options were. Since my first experience I have used his services again. Thanks for all you do.

I'm grateful for the help Mr. Dannenbaum provided during the proceedings against my ex-husband. He allowed me to make payments as I could, traveled miles away to hearings, and was kind and responsive during a very difficult time.

good divorce lawyer , very very knowledgeable; gives good advice.

Dan did a good job for me and rapidly helped me collect unpaid child support.

Mr. Dannenbaum's office is incompetent (or purposefully make mistakes so they can bill you when the should be fixing them). Thanks to his firm, I get half the child support my ex and I agreed to because his office omitted that there were to be two payments per month. The purpose of having an attorney is so they can take care of the final details while the client is emotional. I did not have a good experience. I have expressed this before with no response. If I had known more at the time this happened, I would have filed an ethics complaint against him.

I used the Dannenbaum Law Firm several years ago to develop a prenuptial agreement prior to a second marriage. I was extremely pleased with the services provided. Mr. Dannenbaum paid careful attention to my needs, helped educate me on the relevant legal aspects of the agreement, gave me invaluable advice, and in the end prepared an agreement that was exactly what we wanted while at the same time giving us the protection we needed. I would not hesitate in using the Dannenbaum Law Firm again, and I highly recommend their legal services.

Dan helped me with my divorce. He was terrific. He provided excellent council, made me understand any and all ramifications and walked me through the process. His patients, insight, and understanding of the law made helped me successfully navigate this difficult time in my life. I am so glad I retained Dan as my attorney.

I called Mr. Dannenbaum at a very critical time, he was readily available right away. He not only provided expert legal advice but he also advised me on family matters. I feel that he is a compassionate person who cares about his clients and will seek the best possible outcome for them. I consider Mr. Dannenbaum one of the best in his field, I will always highly recommend Mr. Dannenbaum to anyone in need of advice on Family Law & Divorce.

My experience with Mr. Dannenbaum was a good one, overall. He was exceedingly professional, knowledgeable and competent, a good listener, and shared the benefits of his experience freely. Indeed, in hindsight I wish I had followed his advice a little more strictly in the early going of my divorce case, as it likely would have saved me some annoyance and inconvenience.

Ultimately, I came away with about the best arrangement I could have asked for, in large part as a result of Dan's efforts. It was a trying period, as one might imagine, especially with young children involved, but Dan was supportive and reassuringly even-tempered throughout.

Minor quibbles, for which I might have deducted half a star had I been able: As largely a "one-man band" (at least at the time I was working with him), it occasionally was a challenge to get in contact with him, but he was reliable about following up in fairly short order. His fees are in line with the industry, which is to say "high," which becomes an especially serious challenge when one is paying Fairfax's very high "temporary" support payments as well as 100% of the expenses on the family home and for the family's insurance and medical expenses. This is more a critique of the family law sector: I think an excellent consumer-friendly innovation would be an arrangement between attorneys and larger banks to provide short-term credit to people with decent income who are embroiled in the early stages of a divorce case. With some element of shared risk between the attorney and the bank, and with the client paying a reasonable amount of interest, I think all parties could come through the process with less financial and emotional drain without affecting the bottom line of either the attorney or the bank.

In sum, I can say honestly that I appreciated working with Dan and received solid legal support from him. Each person must make his or her own decision on selecting legal counsel, but I can recommend the Dannenbaum Law Firm without hesitation or reservation.

At a very difficult time for me, Daniel provided advice and counsel that helped me get the best resolution.

when you go throught a divorce time , you want to have a person to support and understand you. This person was Dan Dannenbaum for me : collaborative , knowledgable, professional and great communicator. From my first meeting I felt comfortable with him and he explained me what to expact and how he was going to proceed my case. I would recommend him without a doubt.

Not only outstanding representation but a great listener and attentive to my needs during a very difficult part of my life. I highly recommend Daniel Dannenbaum a great divorce attorney!

The Dannenbaum Law Firm came through for me when all seemed lost, I am indebted to Mr. Dannenbaum and the firm for helping me navigate through trying times.

Excellent lawyer, on point. Flexible with clients, understanding, and takes his job seriously. Mr. Dan Dannenbaum helped me with my divorce case, and delivered. I was in a jam, and lost, but not only he helped me with my case, he also guided me on how to handle my situation. I am happily divorced, and I owe it to him. Also, he's very patient, and will work with you. These qualities are difficult to find in one person. The only thing you need to do is be up front and honest with him. I appreciate all of your services.

Dan assisted me back in 2009 - he got the job done in a cost-effective manner and was great to work with. I highly recommend him, and have recommended him to several friends already.

Dan made a terrible child custody dispute much easier. His patience and understanding during a very stressful time in addition to his professional expertise exceeded my expectations. Dan was always available and supportive. If you need help, Dan will be there for you.

I had a great experience with Mr. Dannenbaum. He's extremely knowledgeable and diligent and made the whole process a lot less stressful. Mr. Dannenbaum is also really responsive and was always available when I had a question. Would highly recommend.

Dan guided me through a complex divorce. His experience and insight was invaluable to getting through an almost impossible situation. He was always available and responsive when I needed him.

No divorce is easy, but Dan really helped make mine a lot easier than I had expected it to be. He walked me through the whole process and was extremely prompt and responsive throughout.

Dan represented me in a very difficult case. He was MOST EXCELLENT in court with probing questions that were fair and very direct. He out maneuvered the opposing counsel, and we walked away with a victory. I highly recommend Dan Dannenbaum: he is a winning attorney!

.

I would definitely recommend Dan to anyone in need of a good family law attorney. When I first came to his office in need of counsel for my divorce I was very anxious. I was visibly upset and scared. He calmly explained the process to me and what my options were regarding how to proceed. From my first consultation with him I felt that everything was going to be okay. He took care of everything and because of my particular circumstances and his expertise, my divorce was completed quickly. All the while he kept me informed and was very easy to get in touch with. I’m very grateful for his work on my case.

There are times requiring one to seek remedy when circumstances exceed one’s capability to resolve, Dan accepted the challenge and executed. He is thorough and meticulous; while providing compassionate certainty. I appreciate his efforts and that of his staff. When an issue leaves you seeking counsel = touch base with the Dannenbaum Law Firm!

Dan is fantastic. Smart and he listens. All around great guy and attorney.

Dan Dannenbaum guided me through a difficult child support process. Dan navigated me through the emotional and legal challenges with compassion, intelligence, savviness, and skill. I trust him immensely and highly recommend him. Because of his expert and wise counsel, the outcome was better than I imagined. He knows the ins and outs of the legal system in Virginia, DC, and Maryland -- and has advised me on child support laws in Pennsylvania. My family and I are deeply grateful for his services. Dan's smart legal (and personal) guidance enabled me to provide the best for my child and, ultimately, to be the best parent I can be.

Dan was thoughtful, honest and direct in advising me. He kept me informed, was always available by phone or email, and skillfully guided me through the entire process.

Professional, hepfull, trustworthy person. He knows what he is doing and very oriented and honest. I am glad that he represented me in my divorce case and I will hire him in the future if needed.

Dan, Has been a great to work with! Rates are very fair.

I was going through a horrible ugly divorce and I had two children. As you could imagine it was the most stressful, anxiety filled experience that I had ever went through. Dan was always available to give his expert legal advice. His demeanor was always calm, professional, and comforting. Most importantly he was available! It was easy to get him on the phone (even when he was on a ski vacation with his family) or drop in at his office with out an appointment. He understood the trauma as he himself went through a divorce and was able to give sound personal and legal advice. He is expensive but will work with you and I had a payment plan which is very rare with most attorney's now a days. overall I was satisfied with his legal service and would recommend him to family and friends.

Even though I found Dan mostly by accident, he handled my divorce filing quickly and without incident. He was forthright, fair, and as far as I can tell, well-priced.

Dannenbaum Law Firm LLC amazing customer service, fast response and 100% positive results. Working with Dan Dannenbaum is great. He always help me with my inquiries and concerns giving a perfect guidance to acoomplish any process I need help with. Thank you very much Dannenbaum Law Firm

Dan handled effectively and efficiently a proposed modification to a 17-year old divorce settlement. He also gave great advice on child custody issue

Dan is fantastic, level-headed and fair. He has helped me for many years and I always appreciate his approach, professionalism and wisdom. Highly recommend him!

When I met Mr Dannenbaum my life was truly in chaos and I had a life changing custody battle looming over my head. I don't remember what led me to the Dannenbaum Law Firm, however, my experience with the firm was truly a ray of sunshine in my life during very difficult times. We forged a trusting relationship that I still relish today 3 years later.

Dan is an exceptional attorney and very responsive to all questions. He is very proactive in trying to negotiate solutions to complex issues. Dan works very well with trying to figure out the best settlement and is most honest and fair. I highly recommend Dannebaum Law Firm.

In 2010 Dan Dannenbaum represented me during my divorce. He was very helpful and negotiated a very equitable settlement. He has extensive knowledge in the family law arena. I was very pleased with his services and have since made a number of referrals to him. I highly recommend him should you find yourself in need of a professional and competent attorney.

Dan is an amazing lawyer and once you work with him , he will also be a life long friend. Dan helped me craft an airtight prenuptial agreement and did a wonderful job on that . The environment in Dan’s office , created by his presence, is perfect for sensitive negotiations on such things as this.
He put both parties at ease and made it a professional and calming environment for accomplishing the task at hand with his unique and intelligent approach. Dan is the only lawyer I’m using on my future activities and will be using his services soon once again.

Great Lawfirm. I highly recommended!

Had a great experience using the Dannenbaum law firm. Very professional and knowledgeable.

The Dannebaum Law Firm is top notch. I'm an attorney myself so to say I'm picky is probably an understatement. Dan has that rare combination of of both knowledge and true wisdom. In family law, it takes both to get a good result - not just to "win" in the short term. He's second to none and the Dannaebaum Law Firm is the only firm I whole-heartedly recommend for family law issues including divorce and custody. He's a brilliant lawyer and a truly good person.

Dan is very straight forward and gets the job done. He is a minimalist that gets directly to what the client desires and makes it quick and straight forward. I would highly recommend him to help resolve an issue that needs to be resolved quickly and efficiently.

Mr. Dannenbaum made a normally difficult process easy. He very clearly laid out all the steps that would be required and set expectations. He was extremely responsive when I called or emailed him which provided great peace of mind that I had someone looking out for me. I would recommend Daniel without any hesitation as I truly respect and appreciate the way he handled my case.

Dan has done a terrific job on my divorce. Very kind and responsive. He didn't waste time on unnecessary meetings, he drew for me a clear map of the path to achieve my goal, setting realistic expectations.
Highly recommended.

He is very effective and he gets the job done.

Really professional person. He couldn't personally help me due to things outside his area, but guided me to who, what and when i should go and contact. Really appreciate his help and understanding of his expertise.

I recently needed a lawyer for a case i was dealing with. Having read the reviews, i decided to go with Dan. I'm so glad i did.

He is extremely good at what he does, a very supportive person to have in your corner in difficult times, and is always there when you need him, 24/7 - he answered the phone to me while he was on the beach during his holidays!

He gives fantastic advice, and will work hard to ensure you get the best result for your case. On top of this, you need never worry about being overcharged, as he is extremely honest with the hours he bills you for, to the point where a few times he billed me less than i expected.

I got to know him a bit during our time working on my case - he's a good man, and a fantastic lawyer. I highly recommend Dan to anyone who has any legal issues.

Mr. Dannenbaum is very professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. He knows how each Arlington County judge tends to lean and adjusts his arguments accordingly. When his website says he's available 24/7, he truly is! I have called him at night and he has calmed my panic while helping to solve the issue. He is definitely a lawyer you want in your corner; I am thankful he's on my side because I wouldn't want to face him from the other side! Mr. Dannenbaum truly cares about his clients and their cases. You are in excellent hands with him for sure! I recommend him to everyone I know.

Dan has been a pleasure to work with. He makes himself available, is always willing to listen, and offers sage advice! If you're in need of legal advice, please do not hesitate to contact Dannenbaum Law Firm!

Dan makes things as simple and painless as possible.

Dan is a true family law specialist, with decades of experience -- and it shows. In addition, Dan provides clients with his cell phone # -- and he will talk on nights, weekends or holidays if needed.

Thank you for your help.

When I initially lost custody of my kids as a father, I was devastated. I quickly realized that I needed to change my representation and I secured Dan Dannenbaum. Once with Dan, we not only secured my kids but now have primary custody.

Dan is an attorney with a deep set of experiences and vast knowledge of the Virginia courts system. An impeccable researcher who can find even the most obscure case law to support your position and use it accordingly.

Dan is however, uber busy, covering down on a large caseload. Therefore, expect to remain fully engaged with your case, proactively reaching out and preparing for the next steps.

I had an excellent experience with Mr. Dannenbaum. He was thorough, knowledgeable, provided clear instructions, was a good listener, gave rapid feedback, and supported me through every step of the process. I would highly recommend him.

Dan is an amazing practicing family attorney. He helped me in getting a 50/50 shared legal custody for my five year old daughter. My ex-wife wanted physical primary custody however, Dan was able to convince the judge that, I am as capable as my ex could be in taking care of my daughter.

Dan Dannebaum is a great lawyer! I used him for custody trial. He is very patient friendly and best of all listens to what you say and cares. Highly recommended him. Thanks Jimmy Luthman

Not Recommended. I found Dan because he was listed in a top 50 or 100 lawyers in DC area. I was excited to meet with someone with a such a reputation. The service I received over the course of 2 years was terrible. Dan did not even know my name when we met & kept forgetting details of my case. The advice he told me was unfounded, and contradicted by a far better lawyer later. In the end, he provided bad advice, was very cold and did nothing for my case. Also, he rarely answered my calls that he scheduled. However, he charged me a premium for nothing. Also, he charged me for the emails to coordinate payment of my initial bill. To me this is an unethical scam, and I have yet to decide if I want to file a formal complaint to the bar over this.

Years later, he sent me a review link for Google. I responded stating I will consider providing a review but I wanted to give him a chance to make up for his poor performance, pro bono (just had a small question to get his take on). He said sure, give him a call. It was not until later that he then stated he would "charge his old rate." This guy is a hack on a number of levels in my opinion. I hope he spent the all the money I gave him on something good, because he screwed me over.

Dan did a great job helping me through some really tough legal issues. He worked with me to understand what I needed and delivered exactly that help. I'd recommend him.

mr Daniel G. Dannenbaum was extremely helpful and very proactive while working on my case. I am more than satisfied with the work done on my behalf and feel he took my concerns and needs in to account while working to resolve an issues that arose proactively not reactively.
Definitely one to be considered in the event you need legal assistance he is able to help without to the point of asking for retana fees etc im realy happy with him

He was one of the best and experienced attorney around Northern Virginia area l really appreciate it for your help ....

I have known Dan for more than 20 years and have not hesitated to seek legal advise and help from him over the years, including very recently. I have found the quality of Dan's services and judgement to be impeccable. And I would utilize or recommend him for a number of legal issues. Further, if Dan could not help me with specialized legal matter he has recommended me to trusted and qualified associates who could. You cannot go wrong with Dan.

I called late in the afternoon, thinking that I may be able to talk to a lawyer by the next day. To my surprise, and relief, Dannenbaum himself got back to me the same day. He was very knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of assistance in the NOVA area. Plus, everyone else who has used him agrees that his rates are very affordable.

Mr. Dannenbaum and his firm helped me in my legal case, and I won. What Mr Dannenbaum predicted on our first meeting, as outcome, is actually what happened, He is very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. His experience and assurance made me fell secure and confident throughout the whole process that seems effortless. I will recommend as a top lawyer in Arlington area and the whole Virginia.

Dan has been assisting me for several months now. He is kind, humble and a compassionate lawyer at the same time he is very strategic & has an impeccable knowledge/experience about civil area of law. His valuable advise has enabled me to make the right choices in dire situations and I am grateful to him for that.
Another great asset to Dan is that he is always reachable. I have called him in the middle of the night, he always picks the call and gives valuable advise with the same enthusiasm and care as he would during my scheduled consultation. He cares a lot about his clients and that's an admirable trait that a client yearns for in an attorney.

I can't thank Mr. Dannenbaum enough. He is a wonderful, kind and considerate person. I had child support hearing just today. I am extremely happy with the out come. I did the right decision to have Mr. Dannenbaum as my lawyer. I opened my family court case two years before. I regret the days I stood by myself without a lawyer, many things would have been different by now (my biggest mistake). Thank God finally I start to see the lights, with the help of Mr. Dannenbaum. If you are looking for an excellent family lawyer with a good heart Mr. Dannenbaum is the right person. I highly recommend him. Thank you very much.

I was looking for an attorney to help me with a custody arrangement for my daughter. My daughter lives in DC and I live in Philadelphia. I did not know any attorneys in the DC area. I found Dan online and at first I was a bit skeptical about locating an attorney online without any references.

After working with Dan through this process, I could not be happier with the experience. After speaking with Dan for the first time, he understood what I was looking for in a custody arrangement. He explained the process so thoroughly and in a manner that I could understand. He was both knowledgeable and reasonable. He was always available and was very responsive.

If you are looking for an attorney in the DC/Virginia area, I would highly recommend Dan.

Steve

Very reasonable, professional and thorough. It was a pleasure working with him and his staff.

Dan is very knowledgeable in his field of law. He was able to understand what I needed and explained, the nuances and details of the law, in simple terms that a layman could grasp and then translate my wishes into a legal agreement. Also, his fees are very reasonable.

Dan is great, and gives great advice! For understanding and committed and will always advise the best in his opinion. He ALWAYS answers his phone or gets back to you

Incredibly professional, effective, and responsive legal services. Process was smooth as possible and Dan is just one of the most honest, understanding, and straight-forward guy I've ever met, lawyer or otherwise. Highly recommend.

Daniel Dannenbaum is a professional, knowledgeable, quick, reliable, and responsive lawyer. He was able to draft my fiance and I a prenuptial agreement quickly and without hassle. He clearly and directly explained all the important aspects of the document, while pointing out important factors that I needed to be aware of throughout the process. His legal fees are very reasonable, especially for the quality of his work. I highly recommend his services and will be coming back if further legal assistance is required.

Mr. Dannenbaum is straight-forward, efficient, and responsive to client needs. I appreciated how easy it was to work with Mr. Dannenbaum and would certainly recommend his services.

Answered questions clearly and succinctly, so no attempt to pad the bill. Pleasure to work with and will again if needed. Strongly recommend him.

I really do not know where to begin. But I'll start here. If you are searching for a child custody or divorce attorney, just go to Dan. Seriously, you'll know from your first conversation that he's your guy. My two boys mean everything to me in this world. My ex threw everything at me you can possibly imagine over the course of a 6 month custody battle. Every trick and false accusation in the book. But because of Dan, I was able to withstand the onslaught and come out victorious. He has the 30 years of family law and trial experience combined with the quick wit of making intelligent strategic decisions that put you in the best possible position for success. One of many major advantages I had with Dan was his availability. I had access to Dan whenever I needed it, no matter time of day or night, week or weekend. I'm sure making himself available the way he does is for a variety of reasons but one reason for sure is that he wants to win as bad as you do. Dan won't just be your attorney - he will be your partner in getting you the best possible outcome for your case. I've got my two boys with me as I'm writing this review and it's because of Dan. If you are anywhere in the Northern Virginia area and need a divorce or child custody attorney, just go meet with Dan and you'll know he's your guy.

Quick and easy experience. Daniel Dannenbaum was responsive and knowledgable. Made the divorce process as easy as it could be. Even after our first 30min consultation he had documents emailed to me for review the next morning. Highly recommend.

Dan is great and really understanding. I am satisfied with everything he did for me and my children.

Dan is very thorough and thoughtful. He explained everything in detail to me and I was never once left in the dark. I highly recommend him!

He was great, helped me in a time of need.

Mr. Dannenbaum is a coolheaded attorney who gives you all the outcomes, yet guides you in a manner which is non-antagonistic. Most importantly, he treats the client with respect.

Dan was very helpful and I would recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer !

Best attorney I ever met. Even though he is a Harvard man, I was able to tell him something. Kind, compassionate, humble, brilliant. Exactly what I would expect knowing his father is a Yale man.

Dan is an incredible advocate for his clients. He listens and advises with logical explanation. In moments when emotional devastation and fear made it difficult to see clearly on how to proceed or when to act, Dan had a natural and intuitive ability to bring me back to reality, while still keeping my family's best interest at heart. I am truly touched by your patience, and refreshed by your flexible financial approach and will 100% recommend you to any person I can- please feel welcome to use me as a reference or to speak to anyone who may be on the fence. I/We appreciate all you do. Thank you!

Mr. Dan is a lawyer with a clear human being understanding of the different problems a person can face in a day to day case; you can talk to Dan and he will listen to your problems carefully and help to make the right decision(s). A divorce is never an easy decision to make, you just got to have the right advisor at your side to figure out if this is the right thing to do. Dan help me understand many problems and he was always there to answers all my questions and to make recommendations.
As a client I felt all the worries left behind after his professional advised, just give Dan a try, you will not regret it.

Total incompetent fool who should be disbarred. The judge ruled in my favor but because he "messed up his notes", he submitted a worksheet/info that was completely wrong to the clerk and refused to fix because my son's deadbeat father would no longer retain him.

Best lawyer ever. very friendly, kind, and energetic to deal with. I addition, his prices are very reasonable
