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...livered exactly what he promised. With the same judge hearing the motion and my ex-spouse using the same tactics that had worked favorably for them in previous hearings, Erik and his team delivered a MUCH different result and for the first time since this process started I left the hearing without a feeling that my attorney could have done more for me. I should mention that Erik demonstrates a "business like ruthlessness" in court that the judge seemed to respect and I certainly appreciated. Finally, I need to note how incredibly responsive Team Jenkins was during the lead up and the day of the hearing. Multiple times I contacted them to alter my motion and get opinions on what to do or how to proceed. I was always made to feel like a priority. This was not my experience with previous attorneys. If you choose to go with Erik and his team for your divorce, you will get the best result the law allows.

I retained the services of Erik C. Jenkins in January 2016, and our professional relationship ended August 2017. Hiring Erik C. Jenkins was one of the worst decisions I made in my divorce. In my experience, Erik C. Jenkins is the attorney who rarely responds to emails and phone calls (and charges ...for every email he reads - without responding - including those emails marked URGENT). For instance, following is a verbatim example of an email I marked urgent to Mr. Jenkins after many attempts to speak with him about a genuine concern: I said, "Hi, Erik - After last week's deposition, I've called the office a few times asking to speak with you and left messages requesting a callback. I am very concerned about something I learned during the deposition and need to speak with about it. Since I have not yet received a call from you, I thought it best to also send an email to explain my concerns in advance." Even though I had marked this email high-priority, Erik DID NOT respond. He DID, however, charge me $135 to "REVIEW" this email. (This is one example of a common occurrence.) The most damaging error to my case was when Mr. Jenkins continued two of my hearings without my knowledge or consent. To do this he went against my stated opposition to another continuance and the Court's expressed intent. After doing this, Mr. Jenkins never informed me; I had to learn about it on my own. And when I asked him about it, he lied to me. Time after time, I overlooked his errors and tried to have patience with him. Because Erik is a one-man firm with little support, he is stretched thin. [redact] Divorce is a nightmare for most us and having a competent, forthright attorney is essential. In my experience, Erik C. Jenkins is untrustworthy, incompetent, lazy, and a liar. Although Mr. Jenkins has threatened to sue me for defamation, I am providing this review because I originally hired Mr. Jenkins, in large part, based on the reviews I had read on Google, Avvo, and Yelp. In fact, I had originally left a very favorable review for Mr. Jenkins. But when I recently learned that Mr. Jenkins had lied to me to conceal his breach of trust, I felt compelled to share my experience with others who are earnestly searching for a competent attorney. I understand that my review may be difficult for Mr. Jenkins to read, but the point is to provide my experience as Mr. Jenkins' former client. I am not frustrated with him and I am not acting out in anger. I am providing an honest review. Although I cannot go back in time to undo the mistake I made in retaining Mr. Jenkins' services, I can do others the courtesy of sharing my experiences.

Attorney Erik Jenkins is a pillar of strength, steadfast countenance & wisdom AND this makes him very intimidating... Hearing him talk has literally made the hair on the back of my neck stand up... He is very intelligent, an excellent listener and purposeful; in addition, both he and his staff w...ork efficiently and effectively. In the past, when an attorney wasn't available I was literally left stranded. Not the case with Erik! If he isn't able to meet, he has several options: phone conference, speak with another attorney on his team or speak with his paralegal. You are never left abandoned. Communication between the team is excellent too, btw. He literally squashed a malicious TRO from opposing counsel (within 2 hours) and protected my son from ongoing harm. No other attorney had done so before. If you want the best outcome, long term solutions and wise counsel, Attorney JENKINS is the best! Our family is extremely grateful to him and we all still reap the benefits of his work.

When I was dealt a hand I didn't know how to play, I knew there was only one phone call to make. I called Erik Jenkins, a friend for over 20 years and one of the brightest, ethical and compassionate people I know and the most respected attorney you will find in family law. Erik told me simply, "I am ...going to take care of everything from here, and you are going to be ok". Candidly I had my doubts given the magnitude of the predicament I was in. Erik care about me as a person, well beyond a typical attorney client relationship. Erik and his staff quickly went to work on my behalf and resolved everything for me and well worth every bit of his fees. I am happy to be a reference and to speak with you if you are considering Erik for representation. Choosing your counsel is clearly one of the most important decisions to make in a difficult situation, you want Fuller Jenkins Clarkson at your side! Thank you Erik!

Erik is professional, tenacious, and passionate about civil rights. His passion for affecting change was evident in the way he represented me in my civil rights case. He handled my case with the utmost level of professionalism; he kept me informed throughout the entire process and made sure that I un...derstood what was going on at every step. I highly recommend him.
