Attorney Credentials & Ventura County Court Experience
Freedom Law 805 is a solo practice led by attorney Hali Ford, a member in good standing of the State Bar of California and the Ventura County Bar Association. With years of dedicated Ventura County trial and family-court experience, Hali handles every matter personally — no hand-offs to associates or paralegals. Because our practice is intentionally small, clients get consistent attention and a direct line to their attorney at every stage of the case, from the initial free consultation through final judgment and any post-judgment modifications.
Types of family law cases we handle: divorce and legal separation (Family Code §2300 et seq.); child custody and visitation disputes and modifications; community property division; child and spousal support; domestic violence restraining orders; paternity; and post-judgment enforcement or modification. California is a community property state, meaning marital assets and debts are divided equally under Family Code §2550, while custody and visitation decisions turn on the child’s best interest under California Family Code §3011. Support calculations follow the statewide DissoMaster/XSpouse formula rooted in Family Code §4055 for child support.
Ventura County court coverage. Family law matters for Ventura County residents are heard at the Ventura County Superior Court Hall of Justice in Ventura. For families unfamiliar with the court process, the California Courts Self-Help center and the local family law facilitator can provide background — but any contested issue involving custody, support, or property is meaningfully easier with experienced counsel who has appeared in front of the local bench officers before.
We serve every community in Ventura County — see our Family Law service areas for the full list, including Ventura, Oxnard, and Thousand Oaks. To schedule a free, confidential consultation with attorney Hali Ford, contact us today.
We can help with any family law matter, including:
Her skills in depositions, trial work, and cross-examination are outstanding and she knows exactly how to elicit the right testimony. She fought for me during an especially difficult situation, where my ex was involved with his attorney — something that complicated the dynamics significantly.
Her balanced approach between litigation and settlement is rare and invaluable. Since my case was transferred to her, not only did I feel more protected legally, but my mental health significantly improved as well.
If you are looking for someone who will truly stand by you, advocate for truth, and handle even the most complex situations with skill and compassion, I can’t recommend Hali enough.
Do not settle for an attorney looking for the easiest way to settle your case.
