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
In criminal, juvenile, and family law cases, it is critical that your attorney knows the local judges, courthouse procedures, and opposing counsel.
Reaching out of county for representation places you at a disadvantage.
If you have a case in the 805, entrust it to an experienced local attorney.
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.
Relentless Advocacy. Real Results.

Every case starts with a thorough analysis and a custom defense strategy tailored to your goals.
Aggressive Representation

About Attorney Hali Ford
Practice Philosophy
Hali Ford founded Freedom Law 805 to provide Ventura County families with attentive, personalized legal representation. Every client works directly with Hali — not a paralegal or a junior associate — from the first consultation through resolution. Cases are handled with confidentiality, straight talk about likely outcomes, and a commitment to being reachable when questions come up. Whether the matter is a felony criminal charge, a contested custody dispute, a juvenile delinquency petition, or a school discipline case, the practice is built around individualized strategy, not template answers.
Areas of Practice
Criminal Defense: DUI, drug offenses, domestic violence, weapons, theft, sexual assault, strike offenses, and the full range of Penal Code, Vehicle Code, and Health & Safety Code charges — misdemeanors and felonies alike, in Ventura County Superior Court.
Family Law: Divorce and legal separation, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, community property division, and domestic violence restraining orders — representing both petitioners and respondents.
Juvenile Law: Juvenile delinquency (WIC 602 petitions), gang allegations in juvenile court, and education advocacy including suspension, expulsion, and IDEA/IEP matters.
Bar Admissions & Credentials
Hali Ford is actively licensed to practice in the State of California and admitted to the State Bar of California. Practice is centered on the Ventura County Superior Court (criminal, family, and juvenile divisions), with regular appearances at the Hall of Justice in Ventura, the Simi Valley courthouse, and the Juvenile Justice Center in Oxnard. You can verify any California attorney’s status via the official State Bar of California attorney search.
