Excellent help clearing incorrect criminal record

Ricky did everything possible to help me clear errors in my criminal record, after I won my case in court but inaccurate information remained on background checks. He did everything from correcting local court information, to having the DOJ correct an inaccurate conviction on my Live Scan, to sealing... my arrest record. I went to him to help clear my background check, and he succeeded in doing everything I hoped he would be able to do. I highly recommend him!

Kind and Caring

Through a fortunate recommendation from a fellow NAMI parent I contacted Ricky Worsfold when a family member was arrested and jailed after an outburst resulting from a first episode of psychosis. Prior to this, I had only superficial experience dealing with criminal matters and jail. Ricky’s patien...ce and kindness was apparent from the first call I made to him. He very clearly and patiently answered the many questions I had. There were twists and turns in the process, and delays caused by other entities involved in the case. Throughout our family member’s incarceration, Ricky kept me informed of the legal proceedings, always with compassion and kindness. Ricky was sensitive and respectful in his interactions and visits at the jail with our family member. Thanks to Ricky’s astute skills and knowledge, our family member’s case was dismissed and his criminal record sealed. I am very grateful to have had Ricky as our lawyer.

Amazing Attorney

I highly recommend Mr. Worsfold for anyone seeking a dedicated and effective criminal defense attorney. From the moment I reached out, his professionalism and expertise were evident. He listened attentively to my concerns, thoroughly examined the details of my case, and developed a strategic defense ...plan. Throughout the legal proceedings, he provided consistent support and guidance, ensuring that I understood every step of the process. His commitment to securing the best possible outcome for me was unwavering, and I am incredibly grateful for his hard work. Thanks to Ricky’s efforts, I achieved the desired results and can move forward with peace of mind.

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!

Hoah!

The crime: 3/21/2021. One intoxicated motorcyclist attempted to evade the california highway patrol. This individual crashed with minor injuries and later cooperated with law enforcement. The supplment: no prior charges and the privilege of veterans court. The sentence: 36 months formal felony probat...ion ventura county. The result: 18 months probation served with a felony reduction and DUI expunged and sealed. The attorney: a young foreigner by the name of Ricky Wolsford who was assigned to me by Jamal Tooson. Would I recommend this attorney? No question!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
