At Lessem, Newstat & Tooson, LLP, we provide clear, supportive guidance tailored to the unique needs of Thousand Oaks clients. Our team approaches every case with professionalism and empathy, ensuring you understand your options and feel supported every step of the way.

We focus on four core areas where our experience makes a meaningful difference:

• Criminal Defense: Whether you are facing misdemeanor or felony charges in Ventura County courts, we build strong, strategic defenses aimed at protecting your freedom, reputation, and future. From DUI and drug offenses to more serious allegations, our attorneys fight tirelessly for dismissals, reductions, or the most favorable resolutions possible.
• Mental Health: We specialize in mental health-related legal matters, including sanity hearings, involuntary holds, Murphy conservatorships, and restoration of rights. With sensitivity and expertise, we advocate for compassionate outcomes that prioritize treatment and long-term well-being alongside legal protection.
• Personal Injury: If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to someone else’s negligence, we pursue maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. Our caring approach ensures you focus on healing while we handle the legal burden.
• Civil Rights: We stand up for individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by government agencies, law enforcement, or institutions. Our team aggressively pursues justice and accountability, helping Thousand Oaks clients reclaim their dignity and secure meaningful remedies.
