Dan Jenkins is a dedicated personal injury attorney and an owner and the managing partner of Litster Frost Injury Lawyers, where he represents individuals and families who have been injured due to the negligence of others. Raised on a small farm in Kuna, Idaho, Dan learned early the values of hard work, integrity, and perseverance—principles that continue to guide his legal practice today.
Prior to attending law school, Dan spent 10 years working for major personal injury law firms throughout the western United States, where he gained extensive experience handling complex injury cases and working directly with injured clients and their families. This decade of hands-on experience gave him a unique understanding of how serious injury cases are investigated, prepared, and resolved long before he ever stepped into a courtroom as an attorney.
Dan earned his undergraduate degree cum laude from Boise State University, where he built a strong academic foundation and commitment to service. He went on to earn his Juris Doctor, with an emphasis in litigation and dispute resolution, from the University of Idaho College of Law. Dan was on the Dean's List multiple times during law school and represented the university in several regional competitions after winning the local events. At graduation from law school Dan was awarded the Pro Bono Above and Beyond Award for donating more than 400 hours of free legal service - including assisting in multiple trials. During law school, Dan further developed his passion for advocating for people whose lives have been changed by unjust situations or serious injuries.
Dan started his career as an attorney working for the Twin Falls Public Defenders Office, where he gained valuable courtroom experience, successfully taking many court and jury trials to verdict and obtaining several acquittals. Dan describes this time as a fast paced, high-volume whirlwind; that occasionally felt like a David vs. Goliath situation based on funding, personnel, office situations, etc. In addition to his own roster of cases, Dan was able to represent the Hispanic Community as he is fluent in Spanish. Dan remembers this time fondly, working with prosecutors and court staff, while learning the fundamentals of courtroom procedure.
As a personal injury attorney, Dan has helped many families navigate the legal and financial challenges that follow serious injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one. He understands that these cases involve more than legal issues—they involve real people facing life-changing circumstances. Dan is committed to guiding clients through the legal process with compassion, clear communication, and determined advocacy while aggressively pursuing the compensation they deserve.
Dan resolves cases through strategic negotiation, mediation, and litigation, depending on what is required to achieve the best outcome for his clients. Whether working to reach a fair settlement or preparing a case for trial, he approaches every matter with thorough preparation and a relentless commitment to protecting his clients’ interests.
Drawing on his small-town roots and strong work ethic, Dan approaches every case with the same dedication he learned growing up on the farm: prepare thoroughly, work tirelessly, and never quit until the job is done. Clients appreciate his straightforward approach, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to helping them rebuild after devastating events.
