About Jared
Biography
Attorney Jared Olen of The Olen Firm is known for his deep-seated dedication to criminal defense and clients’ rights. Jared’s journey began with international human-rights activism, advocating for political prisoners and championing social justice. While at Southwestern Law School, he distinguished himself with a summa cum laude graduation, dozens of academic awards, publication in the Southwestern Law Review, and a full merit scholarship. Jared’s legal acumen was further sharpened by his role as a federal judicial law clerk, where he gained valuable experience in complex federal litigation. His nearly eight-year tenure at the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office included zealous representation of thousands of clients, from minor infractions to the most serious felonies. Jared became known for meticulously preparing each case, obtaining dismissals and favorable verdicts, and consistently protecting the rights of those he served. He approaches every matter with empathy and tenacity, viewing criminal defense as a calling rather than a job, and is honored to guide clients through some of the most challenging times of their lives, always fighting for the best possible outcome.
