Ventura County Minor in Possession of Alcohol - Case Dismissed

My client was a senior at Thousand Oaks High School who bought 2 cases of beer at a local liquor store notorious for not checking ID. Upon walking out with a case in each hand, he encountered 2 Ventura County Sheriff's deputies and was issued a citation for Minor in Possession of Alcohol. If convicted, his license would be suspended for a year and his admission into college was in jeopardy. In preparing to fight the case, I had my client print his transcripts showing his excellent GPA, his college acceptance letter, and gather a few character reference letters. When the citing officer showed up to court for trial, I was able to convince him to dismiss the case. As a result, there was no license suspension and nothing on my client's record.

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.

Keep Driving

After a DUI, you only have 10 days to request a hearing with the DMV. If you don't, your license will automatically be suspended, and you won't be able to drive at all for 30 days - not even to work! Give me a call today and I'll request your hearing for you so you can keep driving.

Experience Gets Results

DUI punishment is always increasing, and the penalties are always getting stiffer. Even on a first offense, jail time is a real possibility, in addition to a host of other potential consequences, including the suspension of your license, probation, fines and fees and more. I am ready today to fight your case if can be won and to help you minimize the charges and punishment if it cannot. Check out my client reviews and success stories for more.
