About Me

Founded on April 1, 2000, by Barbara S.Jenkins, my solo practice set its primary goal as providing the highest quality legal representation for ordinary people. Located in an historic building in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia, I practice in General District, Circuit and Juvenile & Domestic Relations District courts in Charlottesville and Albemarle County. I also serve the counties of Amherst, Buckingham, Fluvanna, Greene, Nelson, Orange, Palmyra, and as well as other counties in Virginia, the Virginia Court of Appeals and the Virginia Supreme Court. Additionally, I practice before the United States District Court in Charlottesville and the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.

My clients range from wealthy widows who request estate planning, to very young children with disabilities who need legal assistance to obtain services. I serve my clients’ needs by being accessible, explaining the particular legal matter carefully, and providing creative recommendations based on extensive experience and excellent legal research.

I also maintain strong practices in Special Education Law, Wills, Trusts & Estates, Elder Law, Criminal Defense, and matters related to children: Custody & Visitation, Truancy, Traffic, Criminal, Child Abuse & Neglect, and Foster Care.

I encourage you to explore my web site to learn more about my law practice. I also provide short summaries of my areas of practice for educational purposes and hope that you will contact me if you have any questions.
