Rick Evans Worsfold

My family and I recently endured a mental health crisis during which we needed legal assistance. From the moment I spoke on the phone with Arianna, the incredible legal assistant with the firm, we knew we were in good hands. Arianna, Jeremy, and Ricky were professional, tenacious, and compassionate d...uring one of the most difficult times of our lives. They worked tirelessly throughout the whole process, and were available via text or phone whenever we needed them. When it came time for our hearing, Ricky was incredible and we won our case within 10 minutes. The judge even complimented him for how he handled the case. I could not have done this without them, and I'm so grateful for their assistance. If you are dealing with an illegal 5150 or 5250, do not hesitate to reach out.

If you're facing the justice system in a place like Ventura County—where the odds can feel stacked, the process overwhelming, and the deck quietly shuffled against you—do yourself the favor of calling Ricky. He is, without question, the kind of defense attorney you *hope* still exists: principled, st...rategic, and deeply human. From our first meeting, Ricky struck that rare and difficult balance: he made no empty promises, no grandstanding guarantees—but he *did* offer something more valuable. Hope. Grounded, reasoned, and earned hope. He helped me understand what was possible through his legal skill and tireless preparation, and never once sugar-coated the seriousness of my situation. Yet somehow, through his calm confidence and honest assessment, he kept my spirits afloat. In a county where some judges and prosecutors seem all too eager to punish first and ask questions later, Ricky is a voice of fairness and clarity. He has a sharp eye for legal nuance, and more importantly, the judgment to know exactly *which* fair-minded decision-makers to reach—and *how* to reach them. In my case, he found that one crucial ear in a courtroom full of punitive instincts, and through careful advocacy, made sure it heard *me*. Ricky treated me with the dignity every person deserves but few actually receive in the criminal justice system. He never let me feel like a case file. He listened, he answered, and he fought—always with integrity, and always with purpose. He gave my case the thorough attention it required, and in return, I got the best possible outcome I could have hoped for under the circumstances. If you're looking for someone to fight for you—not with bluster, but with real brains, grit, and moral clarity—Ricky is that lawyer. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
