Amazing Attorney

I can’t say enough about how professional, knowledgeable, and such a pleasant experience. Should you find yourself in need of an attorney start here with Jenkins Law! You will be glad and thankful as I was! Sadly I did not know to come here first, and had met with a few other law offices, with no luc...k and attorneys that were not pleasant and made me feel like I was just $$$$ to them. Jenkins Law thank you so much for helping me and keeping me informed every step of the way! No surprises and I knew exactly what I was getting and paying for! Amazing Attorney! Should I ever find myself in need of legal representation you will be my first call! Now stop reading this post and give them a call. You don’t want to wait any longer

Trustworthy and Forthright

I went through a horrid divorce. My ex husband hired "fathers rights" attorney and was staging events to gain custody and the home, they were very mean and attempted to rip my kids lives to shreds for money. Heather handled the situation very professionally, She is a respected attorney unlike som...e, and the court respects her. My kids were returned to me and things correct for my children again. She put things in place and order at the beginning so that we were protected throughout the divorce process. All this was handled with her light hearted positive attitude that brought me peace during this terrible time of my life. I owe her forever for what she did for my children/family. Without a doubt I would recommend her and use her.

emotional case

Heather has expressed my concerns like no other attorney could. I feel like she knows me so well I am scared to ever have another attorney again. She prioritizes what is important to me! I feel like I should not lose with her expressing my needs and that brings a lot of comfort!

Conscientious Attorney

Heather was my attorney during a contested protective order. Without fail she was helpful, informative and caring. She kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I had all the information I needed to make appropriate decisions. Without her help I would have been lost. Heather filed paper...work correctly, on time and in the proper format, which helped cut down on unnecessary expenses. Her briefs on the motions were impeccable and persuasive. I would not hesitate to engage her again if I needed an attorney.

Impeccable Delivery of Service

Not only was Heather knowledgeable about the custody laws in the state of Utah, but she was knowledgeable about the laws in both another State and the presiding jurisdiction of an Indian Reservation. She was very thorough and precise in handling my custody case from another state. Her diligence to th...e case shined through during court hearings, where she was able to deliver accurate and deliberate intentions to the court in the best interests of my children. Furthermore, Heather had professional connections that were able to provide discounted services in preparing for custody court hearing. Overall Heather's service has been nothing short of flawless. I would highly recommend her.
