Jasen Bodie Nielsen

Researching a DUI lawyer can be daunting, and there are a lot of charlatans out there at every level of this process. Jasen's integrity, honesty, and sensitivity to the unique aspects of my case made me feel like I was in very good hands and resulted in charges being reduced to a wet reckless for my ...marginal case. He was communicative, forthright, and thorough in informing me of how to best take care of myself in the face of this disaster.

Jasen represented me in my DUI case and later, handled the expungement for me. I had never been to court before, and was nervous. He fully explained everything I should expect before my court date, and was in constant contact with me about everything. He met with me at the courthouse before my appea...rance, and talked to me to calm me down a bit and make sure I was ready for everything. I was originally facing a months jail time due to the circumstances of my case. He was able to talk to the DA and get my case down to a fine, and driving classes, and kept me out of jail and allowed me to keep my job. About a year and a half later, I contacted him about getting my case expunged from my record. I was no longer living in the area, but that wasn't a problem for him. He handled every part of the early termination and expungement process for me incredibly quickly, all while keeping me constantly informed of what to expect, and what he was going to do for me. I have now had the probation terminated and charge expunged less than 2 years after the fact, and I could have done none of it without him. Jasen showed a genuine care for not just my case, but for how I was doing as a person as well. I would recommend Jasen without hesitation to anyone in need of legal assistance. He helped me through a very trying time in my life, and I will be forever thankful to him for that.

I had the misfortune of receiving a DUI in Ventura County in 2008. Prior to this, I had never had an encounter with the law or legal system with no prior record, so i was a fish out of water when it came to knowing the proper steps to take in order to tackle this overwhelming charge that I was now fa...cing. Initially, I was referred to an attorney with the promise that I would be in good hands and well represented. Thousands of dollars later, I was disappointed to learn that the attorney I had originally hired was nothing more than a money hungry, scum bag who could care less about me or my case. I decided to fire that attorney, which ultimately ended up being the best decision I ever made because it led me to Jasen Nielsen. Admittedly, I was a bit trepidatious about hiring someone new and somewhat reluctant to spend the money because of the horrible experience I just had with my previous attorney. I had a lot of anxiety before meeting Jasen, but as soon as I stepped foot in his office, my fears were almost immediately diminished. Jasen made me feel comfortable, at ease, relaxed, and confident, all while maintaining absolute professionalism. He never promised me anything he could not deliver, and that spoke volumes to me in terms of his character. Jasen is not one to sell or push his services onto you, as I learned, his services speak for itself. Jasen is incredibly knowledgable, dependable, honest, and trustworthy. He cares about his clients, and he fights hard for them. Never once in the three years he represented me did I feel like I didn't know what was happening with my case. He attended every court appearance, followed by an immediate phone call, answered all of my questions and or concerns (and there were a lot of them), constantly called to make sure I always knew where I stood in terms of my case and to make sure I was following through on what I needed to fulfill on my end. He walked me through the terms of my probation, and even accompanied me to the probation office to make sure my forms were arriving on time and to ensure I was fully aware of every detail involving my probation. Jasen went above and beyond for me, and renewed my faith that there are great attorneys out there who do have your best interest at heart. There were times that I slipped up during my time on probation, and Jasen was not only there to talk me through it, he was physically in court the next day, if it was required, sometimes with less than 24 hour notice, to prevent the court from violating me. While I know he had many more cases he was handling, Jasen always made me feel that I was the only case he was representing because I always had his undivided attention. Since 2008, when someone I know asks me if it is worth spending the money to hire an attorney, I always reply, "only if you hire Jasen Nielsen." Of course you need an attorney for a serious charge like a DUI, but Jasen fights extremely hard for his clients to ensure they receive the most appropriate sentence possible. Even after my case was over, he continued to call to make sure I was doing okay and nothing new had come up, and he always reassured me that if I had any questions or needed anything, he was just a phone call away. I only wish I would have hired him from the beginning, it would have saved me a lot of money and a tremendous amount of stress. You will not regret a dime you spend on his services, and you will be thankful everyday that you have him on your side and are not doing this alone.

I hired Jasen Nielsen for my DUI case in Ventura County and he was incredibly responsive from day one. He spent almost 2 hours during our first meeting talking me through the entire process and listening to my concerns. In the following weeks I contacted his office frequently with questions about my ...case and he consistently returned my calls, spending as much time as was necessary to make sure I was fully informed. He seemed very knowledgeable and had plenty of experience dealing with similar cases.

I made the worst decision of my life the night I got my DUI, but I made a great decision when I hired Jasen Nielsen as my attorney. Jasen won a better outcome for me than I anticipated. He was especially helpful by being able to file my court papers and represent me in Santa Barbara County, 300 mil...es from my home. After reviewing my case and considering the options, Jasen let me know the best and worst scenarios, provided advise as to what I could do to benefit my situation, and then went to bat for me. Granted, I had a blood alcohol level over 0.20 and wasn't likely to be let off the DUI charge, but his counsel and representation eliminated the threat of additional jail time, community service, house arrest and extraordinary fines. I would not have been able to accomplish the swift and beneficial completion of my case without his efforts. I also look forward to maintaining contact with him to expunge my record. I found Jasen to be easy to talk with and never felt like an outlaw or cast-off, my confidentiality was maintained, and he took caution to postpone a hearing to my benefit when recognized that the DA in court had a less than favorable record against DUI offenders. Not that I ever want to be in the position again to need an attorney following a DUI, but I would highly recommend Jasen as an effective advocate for your rights
