"As a former client of Mr. Dannay, I found him to be brilliant and of the highest integrity. He worked diligently and was successful in getting a wholly frivolous lawsuit dismissed. Additionally, I found Mr. Dannay to be extremely kind, and notably concerned about his clients. Generally even the best attorneys are rather cold but Mr. Dannay truly cares about those he represents. I'm not surprised to see him named in the "Best Lawyers" listing year after year after year."

King is the principal reason. . . .In [one] case . . . the company threw a ton of money and resources against us, with a large trial team . . . but Jonny simply ripped them apart with his courtroom abilities and his sharp analysis of trademark law supporting our case.  He’s so smart and really understands our business, but is also incredibly unpretentious and down-to-earth.”
