Jasen Nielsen

I am a Ventura DUI Attorney, focused on helping those who have been arrested in and around Ventura County. I grew up in Thousand Oaks and graduated from Westlake High School in 1992. Prior to becoming one of the area's top DUI attorneys, I worked as a Ventura DUI prosecutor, where I was trained by the notoriously harsh Ventura County District Attorney's Office, and certified in Standardized Field Sobriety Tests by the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. I have cultivated relationships with prosecutors, judges and court staff, as well as a plethora of other agencies, and use my thorough understanding of how the government prosecutes and adjudicates DUI cases to achieve excellent results for my clients.

Personal Attention to All Clients

I offer professional, detailed, and knowledgeable representation to a wide range of clients, including law enforcement officers, doctors, attorneys, nurses and students, from all walks of life. I have history of achieving exemplary customer service, and am a firm believer in communication. I will always be available to meet with you and all of your contact will be directly with me. I will personally make all of your court appearances, and your calls will always be returned promptly by me, not my staff.

Unique Approach to Each Case

I do not believe in taking an aggressive approach in every case on which I work, as that strategy often backfires, resulting in stiffer punishment and harsher consequences. I instead believe in fighting the cases that should be fought and mitigating those that should not. I have the skills and experience to do both, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Exemplary Customer Service

I believe in charging affordable prices and offer reasonable payments to fit every budget. I have offices in Thousand Oaks, Ventura, and Santa Barbara, and can be available to meet with you at any time. If you or a loved one have been arrested for a DUI in Ventura County or the surrounding areas, call me.
