Jasen Nielsen Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Koloa

Jasen Nielsen Bio
I became an attorney in California in 2006, worked as a prosecutor in 2007 and 2008, and then in private practice as a defene attorney from 2008-2020 from LA to San Luis Obispo.. I moved to Kauai at the end of 2017. At the time I was married, and my third son was born here in 2018. I spent 2018 and 2019 living in Koloa with my family and running my Santa Barbara based law practice, where we had moved here from. I went back and forth to Santa Barbara. When I was on Kauai - I was living the dream. Surfing, hanging out with my kids, going to Crossfit - living the life.. I passed the Hawaii bar exam in February 2020, right before the world shut down. I spent 2020 going back and forth to California, and officially shut my CA practice down in early 2021. I am still licensed there.. Throughout 2020 and 2021, regular issues in my marriage mushroomed. Up to present day, those issues continue to plague my family, and I lost everything in the process: my house, my money, my kids, and my dreams of a future. I've come out of that on that other side and am ready to fight for you.. In 2023, I started working as a public defender on Kauai. Because of my then 15 years of experience, I was quickly able to get up to speed and handle a heavy caseload of traffic, OVUII (aka DUI) and criminal cases.. I caught the Kauai Police Department redhanded giving people duplicate citations and got hundreds of cases dismissed as a result. I left the Kauai public defender's office in December 2024 and am now in private practice.  When you call, you always speak directly to me, and I always personally handle every aspect of your case. I pride myself not only on aggressive representation of my clients but also on knowing how to help clients make the best of a bad situation.. I have an established track record of achieving excellent results and a long history of satisfied clients. I also like to fight. Please give me a call or send me an email to put my experience, knowledge and determination to work for you.. Mahalo,. Jasen B. Nielsen, Esq.
