Mack Jenkins is the Chief of the Criminal Division. He was previously the Chief of the Public Corruption & Civil Rights Section. He is currently the lead prosecutor in the Office’s RICO corruption investigation into Jose Huizar and LA City Hall, which has resulted in nine convictions, including those of public officials, lobbyists, billionaire developers, and their companies. After a separate recent trial, he and his team secured the first federal convictions of a sitting US Congressmember (Jeff Fortenberry) in decades. He oversaw the prosecutions related to collusive litigation and bribery stemming from the nation’s largest utility (LADWP) and the LA City Attorney’s Office overbilling scandal. Mack previously prosecuted one of the Secret Service’s top “inkjet” counterfeiting schemes, now memorialized in an episode on MSNBC’s American Greed. He charged a 45-defendant indictment of the Pueblo Bishop Bloods that resulted in three separate multi-defendant, multi-week RICO trials. Across the three PBB trials, all defendants were convicted of RICO and related charges; and the two defendants who were previously acquitted on state charges were both separately convicted of federal murder. He also led a 72-defendant indictment of the Broadway Gangster Crips, which was the largest pending case in the District. He helped author the Office’s first wiretap of a sitting state senator as part of the successful prosecutions of CA Senator Ron Calderon and Assemblyman Tom Calderon. He also prosecuted a hate crime case stemming from a gang’s coordinated midnight firebombing of apartments occupied by Black families, including elderly and children. Mack has completed over 15 trials, secured 10 federal murder convictions, authored over 45 appellate briefs, and argued before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals eleven times. Mack lectures on trial advocacy and public corruption and was Co-Chair of the Equality Working Group.

Mack has received the Attorney General’s Award, the DOJ’s Director’s Award, has twice received the California Lawyer of the Year Award, along with the FBA’s Pete Mazza Outstanding Federal Lawyer Award, been named a Top 100 Lawyer by the Daily Journal, and one of LA’s Most Influential People by the Los Angeles Business Journal.
