Best lawyer

I've been a client for Mr Jenkins for 25 yrs an I have never met a lawyer that truly cares about u as a person and isn't judgemental. He believes in the law that were all innocent til proven guilty.. He has left his home with family on the weekend an has picked me up even took care of bond until I ca...n get out n pay him an gave me a ride home.I can go on an on about how he has helped other friends n family members. If u need a great attorney he's the one to call ...

James Jenkins

James Jenkins represented me on a couple different cases, in which he pulled through everytime. He had my probation reinstated twice. He resolved a case and dismissed it before it even reached the courts. He filed a motion to grant me early release on an 18 month sentence in which i only served 5 mon...ths and was released with no probation, no fines, clean slate. James Jenkins has always been extremely reliable and helpful when it came to my legal matters. He always answers the phone or calls back. He always shows up and is on time. He's very dependable and overall a successful intelligent and great lawyer. I don't know where I would be without him.

Outstanding Attorney

Mr. Jenkins did an excellent job representing me in my DUI case. He was prepared in court with all the facts. He was always early at my three pretrials and was prepared and organized with all the documentation needed for the court. He was always available in person or by phone with any questions I... had about my upcoming court appearance. I had a very favorable outcome in court. I was very happy with his representation.
