Exceptional Representation

I hired AnnMarie to represent me in a contentious and complicated matter. She was clear and open with her advice and always explained what to expect along each step. It was evident that she had my best interest in mind from the get go but most importantly- the best interest of my child. She was also ...transparent when it came to billing and always responded to questions and inquiries quickly. I cannot recommend AnnMarie enough with any family matter. She will be aggressive when the situation requires but also understands how to balance that with what is in her client's best interest. We ended up working together for well over a year with many meetings and hearings (both virtual and in person) during that time. I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again if the situation arises. A true caring professional.

Life changing

AMAZING FAMILY ATTORNEY We were so very fortunate to find AnnMarie during a very difficult time in our lives. She handled a very difficult parenting plan contempt case that went on for almost a year. She was by our side every step of the way until completion. She was always easy to reach, kind, and h...andled our case with the aggressiveness needed for our family to be together. We were even able to modify the existing parenting plan (which is almost impossible w/o both parties being in agreement). It is not an exaggeration to say that she changed our lives forever. I do not know what we would have done without her legal counsel.

Exceptionally trustworthy and competent attorney!

Divorce is not something to celebrate. However, when you find yourself in a position where you need a divorce attorney, I highly recommend AnnMarie Jenkinson. When I had my initial consultation with AnnMarie, I was very clear to her that I wanted to be fair at all times, but I needed someone to m...ake sure that my rights were protected. My ex-husband and I had a 7-year-old son at the time so it was very critical that I had good representation. She was adamant from that point and moving forward that she would represent me in a fair and ethical way, but she would definitely fight for me and make sure that all of my rights were protected. She was extremely responsive to all of my phone calls and emails and never left any questions unanswered. She was truthful and never tried to sugarcoat any information. She always did what she said she was going to do - always. We ended up at mediation where I was extremely impressed with her abilities to articulate facts and information to the mediator. She knew what she was doing, didn't "show her hand," and came across as extremely competent and professional. I was exceedingly satisfied with the outcome of the case. I highly recommend AnnMarie to anyone needing a competent and strong attorney to fight for them.

Not a good lawyer, terrible.

AnnMarie was our attorney while she was at another firm. She was one, not responsive; two, she did NOT keep up informed; and three, she did a terrible job representing us. Without going into the details, she represented us on a case with respect to an agreement. We got nothing out of the deal (at the... trial), absolutely nothing. In fact after the trial, AnnMarie had the audacity to tell us that the agreement that represented us on is ambiguous and we needed to go back to court to make it clear. I don't know, but to me, that was her job in the first place. Which is, to ensure the agreement was clear and fair to both parties. After all of the frustration with dealing with her, we called the founders of her firm and were informed that she was longer an employee. One good thing that came out of this entire ordeal was that the founder of her previous firm created documents for us at no charge because of the mess that AnnMarie created.

Replied last April 14, 2015

My goal is to strive for 100% client satisfaction. I recall this case well. I am truly disappointed to hear that you feel this way, however I recall the facts quite differently than are stated here. You are correct that I was representing you in regards to a portion of an agreement that was put into question by the Petitioner. However I did not draft the agreement, alternate counsel (prior to my being retained) drafted the agreement. Therefore the errors in the agreement were not caused by me, or at the time my prior firm. In addition, the issues pertaining to the ambiguous sections of the agreement were not the subject of the hearing we had, and the only issues permitted to be raised at the hearing are the matters which were noticed for the hearing. The hearing as you recall had already been noticed by the Petitioner's counsel prior to your retaining me. This is why I suggested we have a separate hearing to address the ambiguous and unclear language in the agreement - that was drafted prior to you retaining my services. Lastly, I am disheartened to read that you believe that nothing came out of the hearing, that is not my recollection of the court's ruling. You are correct that I am no longer with my previous firm as I have started my own firm, however I still desire to meet full client satisfaction. Therefore should you wish to discuss this matter further and possibly clear up any misunderstandings, I would be more than happy to speak with you. Of course, there will be NO charge for this conversation. If I do not hear from you, I wish you the best of luck in all future endevors. Kind Regards, AnnMarie Jenkinson, Esquire

Traffic Violation

AnnMarie was available with limited notice. After explaining my violation to her she was more than happy to accommodate my court date which was less than a week away. In court she knew what was expected and presented herself professionally and with authority. I plan on using her and/or law firm fo...r all my needs.
