Confident, Compassionate, & knowledgeable

My husband & I used Lori to take care of our adoption (which was an open adoption for our great niece). We we anxious to get the adoption done and Lori was compassionate to listen to our story, knowledgeable in rights of the family members, and was efficient in getting the adoption completed within t...wo months! Lor is amazing and trustworthy. This review is so late, but we appreciated how simple she made this portion of our adoption !

Fantastic Adoption Lawyer

We contacted Lori Jenkins for my husband to adopt my four children, all teenagers. She was very knowledgeable about any and all questions we had. She handled our case with care and efficiency. She is always patient, caring, and professional. The adoption went very smoothly and faster than we expected... as the bio-father lives in another state. It helped that my ex willingly signed consent to the adoption but we feel it was Lori that made the process so smooth and easy for us. We would most definitely hire her again should we need a lawyer in a similar area of expertise. Thank you Lori!

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
