WELL FOUGHT BATTLE

I got an unfortunate call from Attorney Jenkins on Saturday 12/7/24. He delivered the bad news that he had lost our appeal for my Workmans Comp case. I was not upset because I know that if He lost that appeal, it could not have been won by ANYONE! We went up against a huge company that fought us to...oth and nails all of the way. My injury was on December 8, 2020. We finally had our day in court on 5/15/2024! He worked so hard on the case and prepped me for hours on end before the court date. This was his personal time in the evenings and weekends. He went Above & Beyond to help me. For that I will be eternally grateful. I just spent the last 2 hours reading all of his previous reviews. He got a 5-star review from EVERY SINGLE PERSON! That says something in itself. Thanks Attorney Jenkins for your hard-fought battle. I could not have had a better person by my side since this battle started in December 2021. I wish you the best and continued success in what you do to help persons with Workman Comp injuries. YOU ARE THE BEST!

Extremely Satisfied

Paul brought my case back to life!!! After working with an attorney from another law firm, which was very disappointing, I almost gave up. After my initial conversation with Mr. Jenkins, I knew more about worker's comp than my previous attorney. He picked my case up, dusted it off and made it shine. ...His knowledge is superb and he shows genuine concern for his client's needs. I highly recommend Paul Jenkins. He never backed down from anything the opposition threw his way. Thanks Paul.

Very positive experience

We were referred to Paul for help with a social security disability case. My husband and I did not know even where to start to get information ready for a hearing. Paul was a wonderful help. He led us through every step with patience, expertise and knowledge that ultimately gave us a positive outc...ome. Extremely grateful to Paul for his direction through this somewhat intimidating process.

Simply the best at what he does

I've been very fortunate to work with Paul for over a year. The breadth of his experience is nothing short of phenomenal. He has personally handled well over 1,000 SSDi cases through the entire U.S. with an unparalleled level of success for his clients. Whenever one of my personal injury clients l...ooks like they will need to consider SSDI, Paul is the first one I call. Further, whenever another attorney who knows me calls and asks a question about SSDI, I refer them to Paul for advice and guidance. It's a rare treat to work alongside and have access to such a true subject matter expert, and I recommend him wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Around the firm we often joke "better call Paul," but in so joking we are absolutely serious. If you, a loved one or family friend is in need of advice, guidance and representation with respect to dealing with Social Security Disability requirements you could not make a better choice nor have a better attorney,

Talented and Aggressive

Social Security considered me “young” under their regulations, which made my case difficult to prove despite so many debilitating medical problems. But Attorney Jenkins moved mountains for me. Over the course of two years, he PERSONALLY saw my case through from start to finish, and worked with me t...o put more than two thousand pages of medical records into evidence. He works like a machine! Unbelievably efficient, knowledgeable, and aggressive! The day before my hearing was scheduled, I learned that it got called off. Turns out that Mr. Jenkins convinced the Judge I was disabled with strong written arguments he submitted prior to my court date. If you need Social Security Disability, don’t hire a lawyer just because they look good on a billboard or on the side of a bus. This is a highly specialized area, and Attorney Paul Jenkins is the real deal! He’s a name that’s known and respected among Atlanta Social Security Judges. He’s been doing this for 15 years, and I would say it really shows! He will tell you exactly how it is, and If he decides to take your case, count yourself lucky because you couldn’t be in better hands.
