Services

Personal Injury

Dealing with a severe, unexpected accident injury is incredibly overwhelming. Not only must you seek medical treatment, you may also be faced with time off work, temporary or permanent disabilities, and serious emotional distress following such a traumatizing event. Navigating the legal process on top of all this can be downright daunting. At Dyal | |Jenkins | Whetsel, our team of attorneys understand how difficult it is to suffer the consequences of someone else’s negligent actions. With this in mind, we offer compassionate, personalized legal guidance and uncompromising personal representation.

Criminal Defense

Facing criminal charges necessarily includes possible loss of liberties and freedoms guaranteed by our Constitution. Criminal defense is very complex and requires someone who understands the law from many different angles. At Dyal | Jenkins | Whetsel, we have experienced attorneys who have seen things from the judges’ perspective, have previously worked as prosecutor for the state, and have successfully defended individuals charged with crimes. Anything from traffic tickets to DUIs to serious felony offenses, call Dyal Jenkins for excellent representation.

Mediation

Mediation is a non-adversarial process where a person with no “dog in the fight” helps to open discussion on the issue the parties are facing, with the hope of reaching an agreeable settlement in the case. This costs much less, both financially and psychologically, than going to court. This gives the parties the ability to have someone with fresh eyes look at the case and give guidance on how to resolve matters without wasting a great deal of time and money. Jim Jenkins has been a certified Civil Mediator for nearly a decade and has mediated all types of civil matters. Own the result in your case by mediating it, rather than letting a judge or jury (who are COMPLETELY disinterested in your case) tell you what justice is.

WRONGFUL DEATH

If your loved one was killed as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may feel as though you have nowhere to turn. However, at Dyal Jenkins, we help individuals hold responsible parties accountable when their careless or reckless action leads to a preventable death.

General Civil Litigation

Civil Litigation can include personal injury litigation, real property litigation, and any other dispute between two people or a business and a person. If you feel like you need to sue someone for a dispute, or if you have been sued by another person or business, just call Dyal | Jenkins | Whetsel. We can help you navigate through the litigation process. Just like you probably do not want to go to a foreign country without a map or guide (unless you’re extremely adventurous!), you do not want to risk your rights in court alone without at least a consultation with a trained professional.

Estate Planning, Wills, Power of Attorney & Trusts

Estate planning is a crucial process that ensures your assets and wishes are handled according to your desires after your passing. Dyal | Jenkins | Whetsel will guide you in creating a comprehensive estate plan, including a well-drafted will, you can specify how your property, investments, and personal belongings should be distributed, designate guardians for minor children, and establish trusts to manage your estate efficiently. This proactive approach not only minimizes potential disputes among heirs but also helps in reducing estate taxes and legal complications. Our team of attorneys at Dyal | Jenkins | Whetsel are dedicated to guiding you through every step of estate planning, crafting personalized solutions that reflect your unique needs and goals, and providing peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
