  • “Among the best attorneys in the DC area.”

    Robert was very respectful, swift, and understanding of my families needs. Robert executed with great professionalism and was able to get my Father’s charges dropped completely. I was especially impressed with his ability to structure the case such that only a positive outcome was possible. There was no room for prosecution to attempt to stick the charge.

    Robert was able to swiftly overcome the constraints of COVID and even drove down to Virginia to push the case forward.

    Moving forward our family will exclusively work with Robert for all legal matters and I consider him to be among the best attorneys in the DC area.

    Outstanding quality.

  • “Mr. Jenkins saved my husbands life.”
    Mr. Jenkins saved my husbands life. He was facing 15-20 years in the federal system. He received 15 month. No strings attached, no deals. His knowledge of the law and court process was nothing less then amazing. As a wife on the outside trying to handle family life and secure the best lawyer for my husband he really made me feel at ease. Great communication, loyal and overall awesome lawyer. Hope nobody that I know ever has to be put in the position as I was in. But if so I have him on speed dial for them. Thanks again Mr. Jenkins.
