Arthur L. Jenkins Jr.

I hired Mr. Jenkins in December of 2016 to help me with an issue with my son being attacked and injured by another student in school. At first Mr. Jenkins was very helpful with dealing with the school district. After the school district was dealt with we proceeded to deal with the charges pressed aga...inst the child and the subsequent lawsuit to be filed after the criminal hearings. Over the 3 months this has taken place, Mr. Jenkins would always talk to me on the phone and tell me what to do or who to call. Over time Mr. Jenkins was very back and forth about a lawsuit saying we could go after the parents, then maybe even go after the school district too, then to say we may not be filing a lawsuit at all. At no point was Mr. Jenkins taking this case as contingency, it was all an hourly fee. Over the 4-5 month period and $4,000+ later, Mr. Jenkins calls me to inform me that he feels I should find another law firm to handle these issues. The only thing Mr. Jenkins did in this case was write 3 letters and talk to the school district's attorneys 2 or 3 times. Other than that it was just telling me what to do and that all cost me over $4,000!!!! With an absolute lack of professionalism for him to just dump me in the middle of this case I will NEVER refer anyone to Mr. Jenkins or his firm due to their unethical practices.

Art was my first divorce attorney, who I fired for incompetence. He advised me to keep all kinds of notes on my ex and how he was alienating my kids. When my ex would bad mouth me and emotionally abuse my kids, I begged Art to do something. He was always "too busy." The day before a hearing, Art h...ad his secretary call and tell me if I didn't pay my bill in full (all of my assets were in joint games,which means I had to wait to pay Art), art would not show up to represent me. I had to take a loan from my 401k and had to prove I made the request before he came to court. I paid Art over $50k in legal bills. He messed up filing some paperwork and had to fix it. He charged me $2500 to fix his mistake. He sued me, adding $7500 for his fees (???) and now wants me to fly in from out of state. This guy is a has been. He will manipulate you and will come after you if you don't do everything he says. He is unreasonable, nasty and arrogant. He did a terrible terrible job. He will suck you dry. Divorce is hard enough, dont make it harder on yourself by hiring Art Jenkins. He is everything people hate,about lawyers.
