For the best representation on a criminal case.

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

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.

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!

Skilled Defense Attorney

Ricky is very responsive and skilled. He handled our case (which involved a mental illness relapse) with respect and compassion and we got the best outcome we could have hoped for. He has a great team that we could lean on as well all the way through the process.

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.

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.
