About Christopher James Jenkins

Christopher is a 2012 graduate of the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law, where he was awarded a Juris Doctor of Civil Law. He also completed his International Law Certificate. While in school, he worked at the Advocacy Center for Elderly and Disabled Citizens, focusing on ADA compliance and accommodations for school age children. His undergraduate studies were done at Southeastern Louisiana University, where he was a member of Theta Chi Fraternity.

Upon passing the bar and being sworn in, Christopher was hired as Judicial Law Clerk for Chief Judge Adam J. Haney at the East Baton Rouge Parish Juvenile Court. While working at Juvenile Court, he learned firsthand the intricacies of the adoption process. He also worked closely with the Family Court on matters regarding custody and other family law related issues. After spending time learning all that he could from Judge Haney, Christopher entered into private practice.

With a passion to help others, Christopher was drawn to the adoption arena, wanting to help make families whole and see children's lives improved. His first intrafamily adoption filed was the adoption of his youngest stepson, and his first private adoption filed was the adoption of his goddaughter. Adoption has been an important part of his personal life. He knows the adoption process inside and out, and will give the same care and attention to your case as he did to his own.

Hired Attorney

We cannot say enough good things about Chris! God definitely answered our prayers leading us to him. Our adoption case wasn’t your normal case but Chris knew exactly how to proceed. He is exceptional! He was more than just an attorney and went above and beyond what we could have imagined. He was encouraging, understanding, knowledgeable, and sharp. He was always quick to respond when something was urgent and we needed him. His confidence and knowledge was so reassuring at a time where we were unsure of the outcome. His attention to detail caused him to catch errors that were made by the court, which was crucial to winning our case. I truly believe, if we did not have Chris fighting for us and him going the extra mile to making sure orders were being carried out, we would still be battling to adopt our little girl. Chris was the bull dog we needed! Our family will always be so grateful to him! Thank you so much for fighting for us and our little girl!
