Douglas Hugh Ridley and his incredible team. We did not just hiring an attorney with Doug. We hiring a great team at was there for us throughout the whole process. They were there for us, gave us piece of mind and kept us update. Special thank you to Michelle for checking up on us on a regular basis.

I retained the services of Ridley Defense after a stupid incident landed me with some pretty serious criminal charges. Like anyone in that situation, I was stressed and anxious and having watched too many prison movies, I was ready for the worst. I called around for a few free consultations just based on a simple google search result for Ventura area lawyers and Ridley Defense was one of these results. I ended up having an incredibly informative consultation with the office manager, Brian, who was more than happy to let me take a day to think things over after we were done. When I decided to move forward with hiring Ridley Defense, I was immediately put in touch with Michelle, who, like Brian, was also incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring. Over the next 1.5 weeks before my arraignment, she scheduled calls for us to check in and made it clear that I could contact her if I had any questions or issues arise. The last time I spoke to her was the day before my arraignment where I admitted I was nervous about the following day, and that was when she asked if I was ready to feel better - all my charges had been dropped. Talk about feeling better! Michelle and Ridley Defense were able to get my case thrown out even before the arraignment, and that was without a doubt the best outcome I could have hoped for. All in all, I can't recommend Ridley Defense enough if you ever find yourself in hot water like I did. I hope I never have to need their services again, but if I do, I know I'll be in good hands.

Last year in the summertime I decided to drive drunk inexcusably. In this really strict county, I got arrested for my second DUI. I realized I wanted to hire an attorney immediately, but whom should I hire?  What should I do first? Money was tight, and I knew that due to COVID, I wouldn't be capable of meeting anyone in person. I was recommended to Ridley Defense by a family member. I had called and spoken with Brain, the business manager. He had answered every single one of my questions and also made me feel like my life wasn't over. Immediately after I reached out and ended up spending an hour with Brian, we both went through my case and provided me with precisely what I needed, honesty and guidance. Michelle Silva represented me in my DUI case, and I couldn't have selected a better lawyer. I could indeed inform you, Michelle could very well assist you with every inch of the process. Her recommendation on this unpleasant procedure was made much easier for me by her expertise. Her check-ins with me every week (often many times per week) had me aware of my case and made me feel relaxed and also on the right path. That only goes to show how much she really cares for her clients and as well as there well-being. You could very well feel gradually more confident of your opportunities as you proceed with Michelles' plan. I was very comfortable and reassured of the outcomes after the process came to an end. I was not just happy for a favorable result. I am so proud to say that I'm satisfied as a client, I'm currently back to being employed and participating in a DUI program. She also went above and beyond with assisting me with my application for my ankle monitor as well. This wasn't simple, but worthwhile. Michelle is indeed a lawyer that cares for your improvement as an individual.  I can't really imagine anyone else helping me more! I'm so thankful more than anything else for having Ridley Defense, but most of all Michelle by my side. Thank you so very much Michelle!

One of the hardest experiences to go through is a court case. Whether its criminal or civil, it is a very stressful event. I was served in a civil case and I knew that I need representation. I was referred by a friend to give 805 Legal Team a call. When I called, Dustin answered, and he was attentive to my needs. I explained my situation to him and within a few minutes I was speaking to Attorney Nathan Passavant. Nathan is great, after talking to him for a few minutes, I instantly knew this is who I wanted to represent me. He listened to my needs and was already giving advising me on my rights. Within minutes my fears were dissipating. I have had attorney’s in the past that made me feel like just a number. 805 Legal Team is different. Every step of the way 805 Legal Team has been there to answer my questions and keep me updated on appearances. I feel they had my best interest in mind every step of the way. I would highly recommend anyone looking for representation to give them a call. Thank you, 805 Legal Team!!

My experience with the 805 legal them was exceptional. I wouldn’t expect anything less from these great lawyers. Their attentive, enthusiastic, and they care about the job they do, and the people they help. I never felt that I was wasting my time with them, they helped me step by step with my case and never hesitate to be straight forward with me. I would highly recommend them, and would hire if ever need in the future.

Doug and his partner Michele S. provided me outstanding guidance and advice in defense of a DUI charge. Michele took the lead and kept me informed during the process and was able to work on my behalf to have my case dismissed after fulfillment of court ordered treatment. Prior to this experience I had never worked with an attorney for any reason however the care and compassion provided by Michele and Doug was much appreciated.

I am extremely pleased I chose Ridley Defense to represent me during my DUI case. I had the pleasure of working closely with Michelle who expertly guided me through the entire process. She is a very kind and attentive lawyer and I felt that she always gave her full undivided attention to my case. I was pleasantly surprised at how often we spoke and at how easy it was to get in touch with questions. She made sure I was fully informed at all times and provided great advice when requested. Additionally, it was clear that she understands the law inside and out and I believe I received the best representation possible. I would highly recommend both Michelle and Ridley Defense!
