Client Testimonial:

"In dealing with a bad situation and never having been involved in the legal system in my life, the guidance and calm that Jennifer provided me got me through. She was able to arrange the best possible outcome for me and I highly recommend her to anyone that finds themselves in a situation that needs legal assistance. I really appreciated her honesty, her knowledge, and her ability to resolve the situation I found myself in. Thank you to
Jennifer for everything!"

Attorney Profile

I understand that your future and your freedoms are on the line. Criminal charges often have consequences for the individual that go beyond what happens in court and reach into other areas of our lives. I have experience representing individuals charged with a wide range of offenses in Ventura County, know how to navigate our local justice system, and will get you the results you need. I have achieved excellent results for adult and juvenile clients in Ventura County, including recent dismissals for clients facing theft and criminal threats charges. 

I am committed to pursuing alternative sentencing such as Diversion and Proposition 36, which can allow you to avoid a jail sentence when you are facing drug charges. I am always available to explain how we can clean up  your record so that past convictions will not hold you back in your future life. I have successfully minimized the impact of Driving Under the Influence convictions for my clients and obtained the alternative sentencing clients charged with drug offenses need to avoid jail time and keep their jobs. I am committed to protecting your individual rights, providing personalized attention, and making sure that your criminal case does not unduly impact your personal life.

Some of my trial highlights include:

  • Hung jury in favor of the defense in a DUI case with a .11/.12 alleged blood alcohol level and an accident.
    Result: Case Dismissed
  • Hung jury in favor of the defense in a felony drug possession case where the client was the only person in the car with the drugs. In that case, Ms. Zide force the officer to admit under cross-examination that the drugs were not actually where he had said they were in his police report. 
    Result: Case Dismissed.
  • Not Guilty in a domestic violence case involving expert psychiatric testimony.
