Erik and his team are amazing. I can't say enough good things about this group. Erik helped me through a very tough divorce and was able to avoid litigation. Other family law groups want to pile on ridiculous paperwork to pad their bills, Erik is the exact opposite. He was more than capable of going head to head with aggressive, overly litigious lawyers, but kept a cool head and would always look for the win win situation to speed resolution and help lower costs. He and his group were always available and helpful during the most stressful time in my life. There is no great divorce, but if I ever had to do it again, i will definitely find Erik.

My initial encounter with Mr.Jenkins involved a child custody issue. He immediately informed me I did not need him after spending 20+ minutes of his valuable time with me for free. My 2nd issue arose over an ex hitting my fiancee & myself with restraining orders. Mr. Jenkins killed both TROs at a reasonable price expeditiously. I've been working with lawyers on a daily basis for over a decade and this man is the finest, most aggressive, yet most reasonable, attorney I've encountered. Thank you Sir. My family will now go to you for absolutely everything. We are very impressed.

I highly recommend Eric Jenkins at Jenkins PC.
He has integrity, compassion and was available whenever I needed him.
During this stressful time, he not only put me at ease but he settled my divorce case in a timely matter.
I felt grateful and lucky to have found such a wonderful attorney.
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. (In addition, he has six kids at home under the age of eight.)
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.
