Posted by Amanda | October 20, 2015 | Hired Attorney

Hardworking, genuine, and likable attorney who is respected by the state and judges.

Jim recently helped me out on a frustrating case that was better suited for small claims than a criminal court, which is a scary thing for a law abiding business owner and parent. He took on my case and immediately reduced my stress level. He was fastidious about knowing every fact of my case and use...d that knowledge and his professional relationships to have my case dismissed before it even went to trial. He has a knack for persevering without being a nuisance that serves him and his clients well. I'd recommend Jim and his firm to anyone needing a fair, likeable criminal defense attorney who takes a genuine interest in his clients and commits to advocating for them 100%.

Effective Attorney for when you are in a tight spot !

Mr. Jenkins was excellent in helping me out of (2) simultaneous traffic citations, that would have effected my driving license, had he not alieviated it. He kept in correspondene and it was resolved timely! Thanks Jim.

More than a lawyer

I post this review on behalf of myself and my son. Jim Jenkins was recommended to us. We knew he had experience as an A.D.A. but nothing else. Through what became a myriad of issues, not the least of which were serious breaches of proper police protocol, Mr. Jenkins was a hero. He understood how h...elpless we felt, he acted with great efficiency, put us at ease, and in the end provided us with a favorable outcome. Though my son endured a small stay in the county jail, Mr. Jenkins kept in touch and even visited him twice to make sure he was OK. His concern and humanity went above and beyond anything he had been paid for. We enthusiastically recommend him. Great attorney, even greater human being. Rare in the world today.

If this were eBay, A++ would hire again

Jim was incredibly helpful through all courses of my case. I'd assumed I could handle it on my own, but after my first day in court realized that certainly wasn't the case. So much for watching a lot of Law and Order, right? Everything from our initial consultation through the settlement with the... DA's office was as smooth as could be. He made himself available via phone, text, e-mail; I really got the feeling that he was actively working for me and I wasn't just a number. Even after everything was settled, I got what was basically a guided tour of what I needed to do; he came with me to pay fines, register with the clerk and explained everything every step of the way. He'd already done his job - and done it extremely well - but wasn't satisfied until he knew I was absolutely, comprehensively understanding of what was left of my case. Even today he spoke with me, though the case is over, just to answer a small question I had about documentation from the court and told me that if I needed anything to feel free to contact him. I'd like to say I'll never need him in the future, but if I ever do need an attorney, I know exactly who I'm going to call. I know this sounds like a commercial or something, but I'm honestly just surprised and a bit baffled that someone would work this hard for an issue (relatively speaking) this small when I know he's got to have a ton of other clients.

The Best of the Best!

I have been down the traffic-court road far too many times (if you excuse the pun) and have had just as many lawyers. I am used to being ignored by most of them until ten seconds before walking up to podium to appeal to the judge. JAMES JENKINS IS NOT THAT KIND OF LAWYER. I was first amazed that he w...as the only lawyer that ever started our first conversation by giving me his personal cell phone number to call if needed him. He returned ALL of my calls (and even texts) promptly and I NEVER FELT RUSHED or talked down too. When it came time to represent me in court, his prolific negotiations turned my TWO TICKET case into a small fine I had to pay with no points or classes. Yes, I am aware that ALL cases are NOT the same but I do know that if Mr. Jenkins didn't have the knowledge that he had (i.e. the Judge's Track-Record, The Officers involved and the specifics of my case) things would have gone very poorly for me. Thanx to Jim, they did not and I highly recommended him to anyone who needs an attorney. I hope I never see him again (lol) but if I do happen to need an attorney again (please God I hope not) I will call Jim without hesitation.
