Joryn Jenkins is highly experienced, smart, and absolutely committed to finding peaceful (out-of-court) resolutions for families going through a divorce. She is a passionate advocate for Collaborative Divorce and has written several books on the topic. If you want to resolve your disputes for yourself and your children without standing in front of a judge, you will be in the best of hands with Joryn!

I have worked with Joryn on multiple collaborative cases and have been incredibly impressed by her energy, professionalism and compassion. She is one of the most experienced and knowledgeable collaborative attorneys I know and I always recommend her without any reservation as an ethical and committed attorney. Joryn was instrumental in mentoring our entire team on a pro bono case and I personally have learned a lot from her. She really has made it her passion and mission to try and change how people divorce, which as a mental health professional is so important to me as I see firsthand the damage that can be caused by a destructive divorce.

I recently had the honor and privilege of working with Joryn on a collaborative divorce case; I represented one spouse and she represented the other. Joryn is a gifted attorney whose knowledge of the collaborative process is unmatched. She has a deep understanding of the law and knows when and how to implement various alternative dispute resolution strategies such as mediation, collaborative divorce, and negotiated settlements. It was a pleasure getting to know Joryn over the last several months. She is a true professional. I look forward to working with her on future cases.

Me and my now ex husband used this office for our divorce over 6 years ago and I honestly believe that one of the only reasons that we are still capable of having friendly conversations, is due to the process that this office provided for our divorce. They made sure that we never felt like we were bugging them or asking for too much and really looked into our unique situation to make sure that everyone was coming out of this with their heads above water. I recommend Joryn Jenkins to every one that I know, whether it be friends or strangers, looking for an office to use in any situation. Not that I would ever wish anyone to go through a divorce, but for what could have been a very difficult and painful process this office made it easy, painless and all around fair for everyone.

Joryn is a truly compassionate and competent professional and leader in her field. She is a wonderful attorney who understands that "life happens," recognizes the challenging conditions that many of us face, and has a keen ability to bring peace to all, get through the necessary processes in a civil and collegial manner, so that families and individuals can continue with their healthy and productive lives without having to erase the past.

I have known Attorney Joryn Jenkins for many years. We first met when we handled family law cases on opposite sides of our cases. Joryn was and still is an ardent, capable advocate for her family law clients. We then had the opportunity to work on several litigated cases together as co-counsel. Working with Joryn, I found her insight into the nuances of her cases to be without equal. It was no surprise that she prevailed on all of these cases. Since then, I have worked with Joryn in mediation and on Collaborative Divorce matters. Her skills as a mediator and a collaborative divorce attorney are outstanding. I couldn’t recommend Joryn more highly.

Joryn Jenkins and her staff are wonderful to work with. She stepped in midstream when my previous attorney abruptly moved out of state. Thankfully a lawyer friend specializing in another area of law recommended her. Joryn is straightforward and tells you like it is. She is a strong believer in the collaborative process (although my case did not lend itself to an amicable resolution), which is the way to go because the State of Florida, from my experience, seems to want both parties to reach an agreement and the case will go on and on until they arrive at that point. I heartily recommend Open Palm Law.

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!! Krista Pendino Bernard
