About Criminal Defense Cases in Newbury Park, Ventura County
Criminal charges arising in Newbury Park are prosecuted by the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office and heard at the Ventura County Superior Court — either the Hall of Justice in downtown Ventura for west-county matters, or the East County Courthouse in Simi Valley for east-county filings. Depending on the offense, exposure can range from a fine and probation for a first-time misdemeanor to years in state prison for a serious felony. Sentencing enhancements — prior strikes, gang allegations, or weapons enhancements — can multiply that exposure significantly, which is why early attorney intervention matters and why local knowledge of Ventura County prosecutors and judges makes a measurable difference in outcome.
We defend a broad range of criminal matters for Newbury Park residents, including DUI (Vehicle Code §23152), drug possession and sales (Health & Safety Code §11350 et seq.), domestic violence under California Penal Code §273.5, theft, assault, weapons charges, and sex offenses. In one recent case, we represented a Newbury Park-area client charged with felony domestic violence — through motion practice, negotiation with the DA, and a documented anger-management program, the case resolved with the charge reduced to a misdemeanor and no jail time. Outcomes vary from case to case, but the pattern is consistent: build the strongest defense, control the narrative, and never take the easiest plea just to close the file.
Attorney Hali Ford is a California State Bar-licensed attorney who has tried more than 40 jury trials to verdict in Ventura County courts, and previously served as a Ventura County Public Defender.

MEET THE ATTORNEY
Hali Ford
A Fierce Advocate For Ventura County Families
Hali Ford founded Freedom Law 805 to protect clients’ rights and fight for their freedom—whether from criminal accusations, family disputes, or juvenile court challenges.
Public Defender
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.
