Rick Evans Worsfold

I highly recommend this firm. Ricky was on top of this case from beginning to end. He demonstrated great legal knowledge at every court appearance. His effort to investigate police reports, medical records, and other records necessary to represent my son were complete without leaving any detail not c...ombed through. These were the factors that played heavily in having the best outcome for this case. Once again proving the innocence of someone being charged with a crime that they did not commit. Ricky and the legal firm at all times demonstrated professionalism, knowledge of the law, compassion, and politely fighting to defend the one who was not able to defend himself. A heartfelt thank you to Ricky, his paralegal Areana who was on top of receiving and giving important information through this case. A special thank you to everyone involved. This team minimizes the worry once they take over, you need not look elsewhere when you need representation for your case. Ricky thank you, what a fine job having this case dismissed six months early. Sincerely, Maria Daniel

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.

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!

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.
