Mrs. Jenkins has a very professional staff and practice in the Triad and is extremely capable of handling any/all of your legal needs. Mrs. Jenkins was successful in litigating my workers comp case without having to escalate to the higher appellate courts. If you are in need of an accomplished, compassionate and well versed attorney, look no further than Laura!

Laura Jenkins- Superhero Attorney
Laura Jenkins is a superhero! My original attorney tried to convince me to take the first offer workman's compensation submitted which seemed too low. I decided to call another attorney for their opinion and found Ms. Jenkins. Ms. Jenkins came in & saved the day! not only did she inform me that the offer was way to low to accept, she helped me divorce my old attorney, took over my case & obtained a much larger settlement for me. Ms. Jenkins was so kind, compassionate & explanatory throughout the entire process. Ms. Jenkins should be your first and only call if you're looking for a workman's compensation attorney!
