About

 In her mission to change the way the world gets divorced, Joryn has published extensively. Written for the client, War or Peace, Avoid the Destruction of Divorce Court, illustrates with true stories how personal choices impact how marriages end: with dignity and self-respect, or with hatred and virtual bloodshed. In it, Joryn recounts actual events as they unfolded, both the wars fought in the courtroom, as well as the collaborative accords negotiated at the conference table. I Never Saw My Father Again, The Divorce Court Effect, continues that discussion by elaborating on how to make the process more effective. Her third book, A Free Divorce Handbook, How to Organize a Collaborative Divorce Pro Bono Project debuted in October 2015. She published her next two Open for Business books, both intended for the collaborative practitioner, Managing Your Collaborative Practice for Passion & Profit and Changing the Way the World Gets Divorced, her book on collaborative marketing, in 2016.

My situation was too complicated for other agencies so they referred me to Open Palm Law. OPL called me and explained The Tampa Bay Pro Bono Collaborative Project. I cried with relief. Even though I still didn’t understand the scope of it, I knew it was my last hope for a desperately needed divorce. Austin did such an amazing job of explaining the collaborative process, using Joryn’s amazing posters, that my husband signed the agreement to go forward. We each received and read Joryn’s book, War Or Peace, and I started to realize what was being offered to us. God put the collaborative team together with knowledge and experience to match our situation perfectly. They were wonderful, through so many roadblocks, and I felt safe, beginning to end. In court, we would’ve spent everything we had and it would have destroyed our family. Instead, they helped us make an amicable agreement that met our needs and brought us to a fair conclusion. I’m excited for my future! Thank you so much, amazing team, for your time and gentle wisdom. I don’t know where I would be, if not for your sacrifice and perseverance. Thank you!

Thanks Austin. I appreciate yours and Joryn's help and expertise in handling this family matter. The OPL Team was top notch professional, courteous and on point with me. By far I'm glad to have worked with this firm towards a peaceful resolution. I am grateful that this personal chapter can now be closed. I will recommend anyone to work with you in the future. Thank you!

Joryn, and her team ( Austin, and Madison ) were some of the most "Spectacular Human Beings" that i've ever had the pleasure of associating with! Their understanding of how Divorce affects the heart, and spirit is exceptional! Their attention to detail with the legal system, and documents, is second to none, and their abilities to have patience, and to keep your spirits lifted during the most difficult times is certainly a gift, and remarkable! Thank you so very much, Open Palm Law. May our Heavenly Father bless you, and your families, and keep you save always!

"Open Palm Law is by far the most amazing experience that I could have had in a time like this and with one of the most difficult situations, one can ever have a divorce. The staff was extremely supportive during the entire process and Ms. Jenkins was an exceptional attorney that demonstrated compassion, understanding, and genuine concern during the most difficult time of my life. She tirelessly addressed each part of the process with equal concern and gave both parties a sense of peace and comfort all the way to the end. I would highly recommend her and her staff to get the job done and done very well. I don't endorse divorce nor separation, but if there was a true reason to have to go that route, this is the team you want on your side."

Attorney Joryn Jenkins and her staff is in a class of professionalism all by themselves. They answered all my questions and gave me more valuable information than any other attorney I had spoke with prior.
