Posted by Tom | November 09, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Great job with Divorce Settlement

The best thing I can say about Carina is that she is not a shark nor someone out to churn a case, run up billable hours, etc. I truly got the sense my best outcome was more important to her than her best outcome. My situation was difficult with an uncommunicative ex-spouse and her attorney being th...e type Carina is not. Carina did as well for me as I could have hoped or expected under the circumstances and the ultimate resolution was fair for all parties involved. Carina also always promptly responded to e-mails, calls, concerns and was generally a very pleasant and easy person to work with. It doesn't hurt that her fees are also about as reasonable as they get in this industry. Highly recommended.

Dependable, hardworking lawyer

Carina has represented me in a child custody case. From the very beginning she made me feel secure in my position on the case. She always made me feel comfortable in every step of the process. She walked me through what to expect from status conferences to mediation to the permanent orders hearing. S...he will answer any and all questions, and she makes sure that you know what's going on. She was always timely with responses, whether through telephone or email. She is extremely punctual which is appreciated as many people are not. She also was able to stay in contact even when she was out of the office or out of town. In other words, I don't think I could have asked for a better lawyer. I found her by chance on google and am so glad I did!! I would highly recommend Carina to anyone with a child custody or domestic case.

great advise and always there to talk

I found when google searching for a lawyer. I was impressed with Carina, and asked for assistance in a child custody case. From the first consultation I felt comfortable with her, she was warm and welcoming, but also had great advise and knowledge for my case. She was there for me every step along th...e way. She learned my personality, my fears, my wants, and was empathetic and professional. She was always there for me when I had questions or concerns during the process. She was always present at court dates, showed up early to discuss what I could expect, and was able to calm my nerves. I would recommend Carina for anyone that wants a lawyer that has great knowledge about the law, and wanting someone who cares. I felt Carina's care every step along the way. Carina is a true blessing, and I am so grateful for all she did for myself and my son.

Caring hard working attorney

I hired Mrs. Jenkins to help me to change the status of my probation. Once my case was studied Mrs. Jenkins felt that she could have a good chance at not just a status change of my probation but an early termination. Mrs. Jenkins in fact was able to achieve early termination. The communication was ex...cellent as I didn't live in the state. My entire case was completely done via phone and email. Hiring an attorney is a challenge unless you know one personally. I lucked out as I found Mrs Jenkins over the internet. I took a chance and I hit the jackpot. Mrs Jenkins is a hard worker, I would recommend Mrs Jenkins.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Although I'm endorsing Carina for family law, I have also tried a criminal case with her as well and would recommend her for either area. She is a former DA but has done a lot of divorces, custody, and various family law cases. Having seen her work on both, I can say she is detail and result oriented, while ensures the client understands what is going on. She will negotiate or go to trial - depending on what your specific case needs."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I recently had the pleasure of working on a case with Ms. Jenkins. Although we were on opposite sides of a rather contentious case she was a consummate professional. Moreover she has an amazing court room demeanor and her knowledge of the law goes well beyond the number of years she has been licensed."
