“Among the best attorneys in the DC area.”
- A.H.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.

Per a criminal matter I had in Alexandria federal court, where my supervisory release was revoked , where my relations were strained with the presiding Judge , it was through the complexity of Mr Jenkins professional background where Mr Jenkins strategically got me released after 3 days . Mr.Jenkins is a Master of the courtroom and a Master of Complex Litigation. Lastly it was at the hand of Mr Jenkins that I became aware of the IronMan competition. Ferose Khan- F.K. -
