No communication on his part in his office. You have to call repeatedly to find anything out. Does not return phone calls. Ended up firing him.

Hired Attorney Robert D. Jenkins Sr.

This was a very frustrating experience. After paying Robert Jenkins, I received little to no communication and no meaningful progress on my matter. Calls and emails went unanswered, and I was repeatedly given excuses instead of updates or action. An attorney’s most basic obligations are communication and diligence, and I did not receive either. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend his services.

Hired Attorney Robert D. Jenkins Sr.

Mr. Jenkins, Sr. was a terrible attorney I would warn anyone not to hire him. He was unresponsive, very distracted with everyone else except my case. When we did mediation, I kept calling him and wanted to be prepared but he never prepared me and I was very nervous and ended up not getting what I needed. He did not fight for me as I asked and I ended up paying an extra $3K for a hearing where he just sat there. When I asked for an accounting (6 times), neither he nor his staff would give me a statement or make excuses for why he couldn't provide an accounting for his hours, that he supposedly worked. He made me cry several times in his office and in the end when I asked for the money back from the last hearing he said and I quote... "it was all a wash". I didn't get enough alimony and several times I had to my own work...things his office was supposed to do. Rude, unknowledgeable, aggressive and unresponsive. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
