Personal service is what we are about at the Law Offices of Jeffrey W. Jensen.  I am a sole practitioner, so when you call, I will know who you are and what is going on with your case.  There are no client numbers, nor do you have to work your way from receptionist, to personal assistant, to the attorney's voice mail, like in the big firms.  On the other hand, I share office space with nine other lawyers, so there is safety in numbers.  The attorneys help one  another, which means that you will never be left in court unrepresented because I am tied up in a trial.  Also, between all of the lawyers, we can handle mostly every sort of legal problem.  Give us a call, and see what you think.

Jeffrey W. Jensen
In 2005, I was charged with a crime that was classified as a class C felony. Jeff was referred to us by a close childhood friend. When I met with Jeff for the first time, I didn't know what to expect. The details of the what I was charged with were difficult and embarrassing to talk to a stranger about. I advised Jeff that I wasn't guilty of what I was being charged with. Jeff's interaction with me was professional and nonjudgmental. My case went before a jury. Jeff was so thorough that I personally felt that if I were found guilty, there wasn't anything that I could fault Jeff for not doing. Jeff provided 12 men and women who I had never met before the information that they needed to make an informed decision.

An honest and efficient attorney.
He was completely and totally prepared for all court appearances with an astonishing amount of detail. I would not hesitate to recommend him. His handling of cases goes way beyond the fees that are charged; he genuinely cares about getting justice for his client.

Different Approach
Attorney Jensen finds a way to make an argument. He was brilliant with an OWI case I had two years ago. I called several OWI attorneys before a business partner referred Jeff to me. All other attorneys basically said I would get convicted. After talking with Jeff and Jeff's review of the police report, Jeff came up with an argument based on the fourth Amendment of probable cause. Attorney Jensen eventually convinced the prosecuting attorney to amend the OWI charge to a Reckless Driving. I followed his lead every step of the way. He see things very differently than most attorneys and found a way to make it happen.

Becafel what you ask for from an attorny
Hired Jeffrey Jensen in a review of case seemed like he was willing to help me ended up finding in the review that there was possible findings ways to establish a way to reopen case yet felt he was in no need willing to help after I paid him. be care full who you deal with once they have your money helping you doesn't matter anymore. I would not recommend this attorney especially if your wanting something done in a case.

Response from Jeffrey Jensen November 24, 2020
It can be disappointing to hire a lawyer to review your case, only to find out that you have no legal issues that are worth pursuing. However, rest assured, the opinion we give you following a review of your case is based upon over three decades of experience, and it is an honest assessment of your chances. We always charge an hourly fee for file review; and, therefore, you only pay for the time actually spent reviewing and researching your case. As we are sure that most people understand, an attorney is entitled to be compensated for the time he spends working on your case. It is not dependent upon him reaching the legal conclusion that you desire.
