Thank you Ricky and team

In interviewing multiple lawyers in Ventura county, Ricky and his team were by far the most attentive and eager to help. We had multiple calls and meetings in person at my request. Most importantly the outcome was great and their expertise came through.

I could not have done this without them

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.

Excellent, Compassionate Lawyer

Rick Worsfeld represented my autistic son who had committed a second violent felony. The state wanted to give him four years in prison. Rick convinced the court that my son acted out of anxiety rather than criminal intent. My son was given diversion and is now free with no felony conviction. Through...out the process Ricky always answered all my questions promptly and clearly. The fees, paid up front, were reasonable and there were never any add ons. I highly recommend Rick as an advocate if you need a criminal attorney.

Rick Represented me for years through a criminal case, worked very hard and did an outstanding job!! Things have gone better than I could’ve hoped. He is patient, empathetic and determined.

Investment Analyst

Ricky helped liaise with local law enforcement over a child custody dispute matter. He was clear in explaining possible legal outcomes in our initial intake call, and expedited queries to law enforcement once I retained his services. In particular, I found that there was a need outside of traditional... family law services in my custody issue that Ricky and his team helped address; addressing law enforcement’s response to child custody hand-offs, disputes with a co-parent that could involve municipal services…there was not a lot of clarity from our local jurisdiction when I tried to personally find out case status and outcome, and eliciting responses from my city and law enforcement was much easier (and faster) using Ricky and his team. Ricky and his legal team were transparent on cost, and he sought to make himself available to me even after working hours. I would absolutely turn to Ricky again.

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.
