Professional and Compassionate

Ricky Worsfold did an amazing job helping my son with his mental health diversion case. He patiently explained the pros and cons to us, recommended the best options taking into account what the judge and DA would likely accept, and passionately made my son's case in court. He regularly provided pro...gress reports to the court, and persuaded the judge to close the case early instead of the usual two year diversion requirement. Ricky communicated with us clearly throughout our journey with the court. Now my son's case has been dismissed, his arrest record has been sealed, and he is free to proceed with his recovery in a normal manner. As a NAMI leader for 10 years, and as a community member having to get immersed in the legal system, I have no hesitation in recommending Ricky as your lawyer!

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.

Dismissed a 2 month case in less than 2 weeks

Ricky will get it done. He removed SIX felonies from my record that were added due to identify theft and committed by another person. His communication is excellent -- you never are waiting to hear from him, he executed quickly -- he acted with urgency to get this done for me, and he was empathet...ic throughout the process -- my particular situation was wild and we shared a few laughs about it all while staying professional. He has balance. I would absolutely 10000% recommend Ricky and work with him again but I pray to god I never have to.

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!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
