Highly Recommend!
Erik Jenkins and April Hu did an excellent job of representing me in my child custody case. They were aggressive in their litigation with the petitioner and her counsel and made decisions that were in the best interests of my family and my child resulting in a 50/50 custody schedule. Previous judges ...

Third time's the charm!
Erik was the third lawyer I have hired since my separation in late 2013. Working with Erik gave me a clear demonstration of how this process should have been going the whole time. He took the time to listen to and evaluate my concerns, gave me options regarding what my legal actions could be, and de...

Horrible representation
I hired Jenkins because he was referred to me by a friend . This review is my opinion only. Jenkins was good at one thing and that was excessive billing me for his work. He once told me that he had 40 clients that he was representing. Yet he had no paralegals 50% of the time helping him. So figure it...
"Erik is an aggressive advocate and not one to back away from a fight. He is extremely knowledgeable about the law and always prepared with creative arguments. I learned so much working for Erik and highly endorse him."
"Erik Jenkins is a top notch San Diego family law attorney. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and a zealous advocate for his clients. He is skilled and proficient at advising his clients on how to handle complex legal issues. I confidently and strongly endorse Mr. Jenkins."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have had the pleasure of working along side Erik and witnessed him in action. He is a very competent attorney and always focused on his practice."
"I myself am a lawyer. Eric became my lawyer after I tried to handle my divorce myself but gave up when the outrageous demands from my ex-wife and her attorney for everything I have finally drove me over the edge. Erik was smooth, calm, professional and he cared about me and what happened in my case. Many lawyers would be hesitant to represent another lawyer, especially in an emotionally charged setting like a divorce. But Erik was great, and thank God that part of my life is behind me."
"This attorney works very hard for the clients and keeps up with the law by attending legal seminars to assist them in this regard. I endorse this attorney."
"Your resume speaks for itself and I consider you a valuable member of the attorney community. I would recommend you to anyone and everyone who needs your services. I whole heartedly endorse this lawyer!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mr. Jenkins on a number of family law cases and find his work to be ethical and his representation superb. I have also known him as a fellow board member of the Collaborative Family Law Group of San Diego and have found his contribution essential. This attorney is knowledgeable, experienced, ethical and extremely professional."
"Erik is a very competent and effective litigator. His firm has the resources to confront challenging firms on equal ground. He is passionate yet practical and my impression is that the Judges know Erik as a trusted messenger of the Court - which is just the type of lawyer You should be looking for!"
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Erik approaches his work with intelligence, determination and is a zealous advocate of his client's interests ."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I work with Mr. Jenkins on the Collaborative Group of San Diego's Board. It is a pleasure to work with an attorney like Erik, who is committed to professionalism and excellence in his field. Erik portrays the kind of lawyer I am comfortable recommending to potential clients. As a trained collaborative attorney, I believe Erik will do his best for his clients, while encouraging them to see the big picture and put their energy on the things that really matter."
"I have known Erik Jenkins for more than a decade, and have referred him several clients, including members of my family. The reports I get back are all the same: Mr. Jenkins fights hard for this rights and benefits of his clients. Any person with a family law matter should seriously consider consulting Mr. Jenkins before taking any action."
