Mental Health Diversion

We engaged Lessem Newstat & Toosan to help a mental health related case. It was our first experience navigating the complex US legal system and where many charges were made. Ricky Worsfold and team supported us through the process. We are very happy with the advice along the way. From getting out of ...custody without bail being set, to getting Mental Health Diversion granted, to having it terminated 15 months earlier than set and to having the entire criminal record dismissed and sealed. We are very thankful for your persistence, guidance and listening to us through the process. A lot was accomplished with your help and we are relieved to bring this difficult experience to a successful close. Thanks Ricky and team!

Rick Evans Worsfold, Esq.

Mr. Worsfold, or Ricky, as we knew, displayed an incredible work, personal, timely, and knowledgeable ethics of case. He helped us to understand the language and law of the case and what to expect from the DMV, DA, and or court. His compassion for the situation helped my son to speak at ease with Ri...cky, and to understand that all might not go in his favor. Ricky gave plenty of time for us to send any documents needed for the case and keep us up to date on the communication between him and the DA or court. Ricky also followed up with my son that he was pro active in completing all classes and fees that needed to be completed before the assigned date. That speaks so much of Ricky on a personal level with his client, my son. He answered any and all calls or emails within hours but no longer than 24 hours. Knowing answers quickly helped us to have confidence in Ricky and all that was happening. Ricky, was an outstanding man that encouraged my son on a first offense. He went above and beyond to help him understand his rights in the situation and with that it brought tremendous peace to all of us.

Competent and compassionate

Ricky was phenomenal. He understood the legal issues very comprehensibly. In addition, he understood the challenging mental health issues of the case and went the extra distance to help. Arianna, the paralegal was an integral part of the team and was extraordinarily responsive and supportive. They do... care!

Most Confident Lawyer & Trustworthy Lawyer

Being charged for 3 counts of Felony, I thought I was going to do jail time and career will be ruined. Contacting this law firm, they gave me Rick and he told me I’m in good hands and promise me I won’t do jail time. It was hard to believe, but DAM! He worked his magic and had the best outcome. Even ...my Parole officer said I got a great deal out of all this. She even said “idk what deal you made, but I had the best deal she’s seen.” Every step that I went through during this process, Rick was very knowledgeable. He taught me a lot about this whole process. He gave me the confidence that my career won’t be ruined and that I won’t serve jail time. I appreciate what he and his law firm did for me. Would highly recommend. Also, for someone who has family out side the US, I had to travel multiple times leaving the US. As a felon it’s so hard to get out of the country, but every time Rick made it happen. Even in short notice. Cause of him I can see my family and live my life.
