WHY ME?
legal community knowledge
Why should you care how familiar I am with the legal community? What's it in for you?
The answer is this: greatly higher odds that you will receive the best outcome possible for your case.
I can better anticipate what may happen in a case because I interact so often with those directly involved in your case: District Attorneys, clerks, court interpreters, and judges.
The courthouses I know best are the Santa Maria and Lompoc courthouses, but I also work with the courthouses in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara.
experience
You can rest assured that you are in expert hands: I have handled over 5,000 cases in my career.
Although I cannot guarantee or control the outcome of a case, the majority of my clients' cases resulted in favorable outcomes or reduced charges.
Law is in my blood. My father, retired Judge James B. Jennings, exposed me to the world of law from a young age.
It was my father’s example and my desire to help people in difficult situations that drove me to become the lawyer I am today.
great communication
I make sure you understand the allegations and all the moving parts so you can make an informed decision.
If there’s an aspect of your case that confuses you, I am skilled at breaking down the criminal justice system to make it easy to digest.
I take the time needed to listen and really understand your situation.
Throughout the legal process, I give you continual updates to keep you informed.
It’s easy to reach me when you have any questions.

When I work with you, you will quickly see how invested I am in you as a real, live, human being.
It brings me a lot of pleasure to defend individuals during this very stressful time in their life.
honest character
In order for you to be fully informed about the allegations and moving parts of the case, I tell you the truth in a kind yet straightforward manner.
I don’t beat around the bush.
My honesty and transparency are crucial to helping you achieve the best outcome possible.

My pricing is an honest and transparent flat fee.
Depending on the case, if there are other fees, I will make you aware of them before you decide to commit to anything.

CASE CLOSED
Anything other than cleared charges often, but not always, results in alternative sentencing - without jail time and without affecting your record.
Electronic monitoring, work release, and therapy (e.g. Alcoholics Anonymous) are the typical forms of alternative sentencing.
