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.

Joryn Jenkins, along with her associates and staff, are a cut above the rest. I have received council from Joryn several times on several different matters and all of my needs were met above and beyond my expectations. Honest, Trustworthy, and Compassionate are only a few words that describe my experience!

Simply stated, Joryn Jenkins is the best family law attorney in the entire Tampa Bay area. She represented me with my divorce and on several other occasions when needed. Her honesty, integrity and trustworthiness are second to none. She TRULY CARES about her clients and the numerous referrals I have sent her have all been extremely pleased. You will not only respect her brilliance when it comes to the law, but will most likely just absolutely adore her as a person, like I do!

Joryn Jenkins' legal team at Open Palm Law outranks the competition for a number of reasons. Their collaborative approach to emotionally-charged situations such as divorce, pre-nups, and other high-stake negotiations focuses on maintaining dignity without sacrificing the primary goals of each party. Avoiding litigation allows all parties to come together with less stress and reach conclusions more quickly than through traditional methods. I highly recommend Open Palm's services and philosophy.

Joryn Jenkins is an A+ attorney. I am a collaborative forensic accountant and have had the opportunity to work with Joryn Jenkins on multiple matters. She is an outstanding attorney and human being. I would certainly hire her if I was ever in need of a family law or litigation attorney. Not only is she brilliant from a legal knowledge perspective, she has the utmost integrity and works hard to help her clients receive the best results while trying to minimize the collateral damage that often comes with turbulent divorces and family law issues. She is tough when she needs to be while always considering the bigger picture. She has worked on numerous collaborative divorce cases and has creatively and compassionately helped to settle these cases without the parties needing to go to trial. She has the ability to articulate complex legal issues in a way that someone with no legal knowledge can understand. She has a great team supporting her as well. I highly recommend her and her staff at Open Palm Law.
