Highly recommended

Mr. Jenkins was able to help me with my case in a very effective and professional matter. We were able to receive a very favorable outcome given the circumstances. I would recommend Mr. Jenkins to anyone and everyone.

Atty Jenkins’ expertise effectively reduced my family‘s legal concerns and potential liabilities. I would, without any reservations, recommend him to family, friends, and associates.

A bonus!

Trusted friends recommended Mr. Jenkins to me for help with criminal charges. The case was petty and my expectations for disposal were completely out of alignment with the DA. Mr. Jenkins supported my expectations and aggressively defended me through the criminal cycle, even through trial. Acquittal ...was the outcome. The case was very frustrating considering the significant time investments for the underlying facts and charges, so lots of pressure to plea it out. I am forever greatful Mr. Jenkins was supportive of my decision to take the path of most resistance, and forever greatful in his talents for persuading a jury. Often times you look back on experiences with lawyers and can’t rationalize value or return for the money you pay. But after reflecting on the work of Mr. Jenkins with my case vs. invoices he presented for payment, I felt he deserved exta. Never in my life has a lawyer’s service been so exceptional that I paid more than the bill - until I experienced Mr. Jenkins.

Exceptional lawyer

There is no better criminal attorney out there then Mr. Jenkins. He was able to get my 3rd and 4th offenses for driving on a suspended license reduced to a simple 250$ fine with no additional suspensions to my license, which is nothing short of a miracle in Fairfax county. Mr Jenkins has also represe...nted me on numerous other occasions and has exceeded all my expectations at every juncture. I wouldn’t allow any friend or family member to employ any other criminal lawyer besides Mr Jenkins, he truly is a life savor anyone looking for an attorney should have him at the top of their list!

A True Pleasure

My wife and I hired Robert in the aid of a friend who needed immediate legal representation related to a felony sentencing hearing. (This sentencing matter had gone on for quite some time under a different attorney). Robert was able to calm our collective nerves, and devise a strategy for the sente...ncing hearing that benefited his client immensely. On the sentencing date, Robert had complete command in the courtroom, the trust of his client, and the professional respect of the judge. Over the 2-3 month period we retained Robert, he was highly communicative with us and very conscientious of his client's needs. We would immediately recommend Robert to anyone who might have a difficult criminal legal matter to navigate.

"I highly endorse Mr. Jenkins, who was lead attorney on a high-profile murder case with me approximately 10 years ago. He showed remarkable legal skill and client compassion during that case. More recently we represented co-defendants in another hi-profile murder case and Mr. Jenkins showed the same skill and client centered focus as he did years ago."
