On 14 Feb 2019, I spoke with Ms. Jenkins regarding my child custody and child support issues. She was very respectful and professional. She took the time to listen to my concerns and offered me positive solutions to resolve my problem. You can tell she takes her job seriously and she looks out for the best interest of her client.
Some attorneys start off the conversation about money and that tends to turn me away since I was a paralegal for over 10 years but her main focus is the issue at hand and what service she can provide to her client. Ms. Jenkins will point you in the right direction and be truthful and honest with her answers to your questions. Her experience shows in the knowledge she shares and I would hire her 100 times out of 100.

Joryn is the consummate collaborative attorney. By this I mean she knows how to give excellent representation to her clients while at the same time moving towards productive resolution.
I’ve been lucky enough to be the collaborative mental health neutral on quite a few cases with Joryn.
These are some of the qualities that make for her success:
*She truly knows how to operate in the proverbial ‘reach across the table’ mode, making it clear whose attorney she is while being respectful and inclusive of the other party
*Joryn does not instigate or fuel the disputes with either any personal issues nor confusing the client.
*Joryn respects keeping to the agenda - to assure that we have entertained all pertinent issues.
*She knows how AND when to use the talents of the neutrals to facilitate the entire process.
It is a pleasure to be the neutral facilitator on a team with Joryn.

Joryn and her staff are amazing. They have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND to help me in a rather unique and frustrating paternity action. She and her staff are kind, patient, very knowledgeable and have gone the extra mile to make sure my case has been resolved to be in the best interest of my child. I highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Joryn Jenkins to anyone who needs a great family law attorney. She really listens to her clients and gives the best advice with reasonable solutions for difficult situations. I went to Joryn after fighting in family law court for over 10 years. After representing me for just a few months, Joryn was able to diffuse many years of hostility between my ex-husband and I. Thank you Joryn Jenkins!!

I have worked with Joryn Jenkins and her staff for the last 7 years. Her focus of Changing the Way the World Gets Divorced is an inspiration to not only her clients who are going through a divorce, but other attorneys who see a better way to represent their clients. After reviewing each client's situation she offers the choices they have and answers all questions so they know the best option moving forward.

Both Joryn and her staff have been awesome. To give a little background, I met with one of her staff back in November 2016. I was representing myself in court and I wanted to sit with an attorney to review the evidence that I had collected and how to present it, and to get their thoughts on my arguments, just to make sure I was not off base. The meeting went very well, and it seemed I was on the right track.
Fast forward a couple of months. The Final Hearing was scheduled for January 2017. I wanted to meet with a lawyer again, so I scheduled a sit down with Joryn herself the day before trial. Joryn prepared me very well; we went over the sequence of events, what I should expect after I get in court, how I can use certain evidence to my advantage, the rules of evidence, and general courtroom information. I have a hard time believing there is another lawyer out there that can do what she did prepping me in such a short amount of time.
I will say that trial almost could not have gone any better for me. You hear all of these horror stories about how people get taken to the cleaners. This most definitely did not happen in my case and I am very appreciative of Joryn for her help. Joryn is not your typical lawyer; she genuinely cares for her clients and can identify with what you are going through. Divorce is a very emotional and challenging time in your life; it’s not something anyone ever wants to go through. But if it comes down to it, I would prefer to have the best in my corner looking out for me, and that is what I found in her.

Attorney Joryn Jenkins is the only attorney we would ever recommend. Joryn is modestly brilliant and kind.
Several years ago our hearts were just broken. After years of caring for my sweet loving in-laws, the three of them, passed away within 18 months of one another, unfortunately, leaving us in a serious financial crisis. As extremely difficult as it was on us financially, there was NO way we were going to stand by and NOT assist my husband’s parents and his sweet brother with Autism. For this is what family is for. Afterwards, our family attorney highly recommended we speak with Attorney Joryn Jenkins. What a blessing this really was. Other than us getting married, the best decision we ever made was to hire Attorney Joryn Jenkins to handle our affairs. She immediately “took the bull by the horns” in handling all of our finances. Joryn and her staff have just been wonderful. To this day with much sincerity, Joryn was always available to answer our questions. This was and still is such a comfort during our grief.
In closing, Joryn Jenkins is the only attorney we would ever recommend. Joryn is modestly brilliant and kind. She’ll personally return both phone and email messages and her staff is the best. You will never play phone tag with this law firm. They will assist you with courtesy and respect.
