  • “Simply masterful.”

    In November 2024, I watched Mr. Jenkins cross-examine the Commonwealth of Virginia's most important witness against his client. (This was a high-profile case, and the media reports made it appear that his client had no chance to win.) The witness was a law enforcement officer.

    Because I cross-examine people for a living and I study my craft, I know stellar work.

    Mr. Jenkins's cross-examination was spectacular. He torpedoed the Commonwealth's case. He turned that witness into a witness for his client. Simply masterful.

    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.
