Posted by Jessica | July 27, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Personable, Professional & Practical

My husband and I hired Lori initially to help us terminate my Ex’s legal rights to my son and allow my husband to adopt my son. It ended up being a long, brutal, custody battle with my ex who had resurfaced after being absent for years from my son’s life. Lori fought hard for us, prepared us every st...ep of the way, took time to listen to us but also told us ways we could cut costs by handling certain things ourselves. She told us our options along the way and explained why she recommended one option over the other. She helped us see things realistically and at times helped to reel in emotions and keep things focused on our son vs my ex. With her help we were able to come to a sustainable agreement that kept our son safe. My ex was granted supervised visits that would graduate to unsupervised, then overnights, then short summer visits then eventually 3week summer visits. Lori told us this was the best solution to give him time to prove himself or enough rope to hang himself. It’s been over 5yrs since that arrangement was made and he has still never had an unsupervised visit and only maintained contact for about a year. Lori still touches base with us to see how we are doing. Our son turns 18 next year and Lori will be handling the adult adoption case for us so my husband can finally legally be named his dad. We can’t thank Lori enough for all of her hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for an attorney you can trust with your children’s lives, look no further.

Compassionate, direct communicator, attentive listener, pragmatic problem solver.

Lori used compassion together with attentive listening and direct communication to assist our family with separation and custody issues. She thoughtfully helped us weigh pros and cons of options and outlined clear action plans to achieve good, workable results, all the while being mindful of emotiona...l as well as financial costs. We hold her in high esteem and heartily recommend her.

Great Divorce Attorney - I highly recommend Lori Jenkins

Lori Jenkins was fantastic as I went through the most difficult months of my life. She was very knowledgeable of the law, fought for my rights as a dad, was calm and cool when I wasn't at times, and I came out very well in my divorce. I got joint custody of my son's and have them 1/2 time (which wa...s the most important thing of all) and she also fought for my retirement, home, and other assets that I really felt I was entitled to considering the situation at hand and we won them all. She was also very reasonable in price and didn't "nickel and dime me to death" over small matters. I HIGHLY recommend her.
