My husband was in an auto accident and charged with a first offense DUI. TN has one of the strictest DUI laws and if convicted, your life can be turned completely upside down. Get yourself the best DUI lawyer and call David. It was money well spent. We could not have asked for a better outcome. ...When David says, "I will defend you like you're my own family.", he truly means it in every way. After reviewing 5 lawyers, we decided to go with David because he had the right mix of professionalism and empathy we were looking for. David is extremely knowledgeable of the local court system and TN DUI laws. He is a real people person and puts your mind at ease because he takes care of everything for you regarding your case. He is thorough in explaining the legal matters and the court procedures through the entire legal process. Even more important, he made us feel like family.

Mr. Ridings was swift and efficient in dealing with my case. After only two court dates my felonies were dropped to misdemeanors and are now on grounds for dismissal. Any time I had a question David was quick respond to voice messages with a personal phone call. I know several people who have also ut...ilized his services and have had similar experiences. David is not only incredibly good at what he does; he is also a great person and a pleasure to be around. I would recommend him to anyone who has gotten into a bit of trouble.

I am a licensed professional in TN. I retained David Ridings to defend me after my spouse made numerous false allegations about me and filed an Order of Protection (OP) against me which ultimately led to my arrest. Upon my release from jail I immediately conducted exhaustive research to locate the... best defense attorneys in Nashville, TN. I read David's profile and ultimately made the decision to meet with him to discuss my case. I met David at his office for my initial consultation. He already had obtained, read and studied the copy of the OP. He informed me after he reviewed the OP it did not appear that it should have ever been signed, enforced or served. He is no nonsense and he thoroughly interviewed me and made detailed notes. He was extremely attentive and empathetic given my situation. David was very direct and matter of fact during our consultation. He provided me with a detailed plan of action that he would implement if his services were retained to defend my case. I was extremely impressed by his ethical manner as he conducted our meeting and the way he practices law. Furthermore, I believe the years he served as a Metro Police Officer provides him with a greater sense regarding the understanding of human nature and it motivates him to work even harder for his clients. David did everything he claimed he would do and more. He went above and beyond in representing me during this trying time. He has a great reputation with the officials of the court. I firmly believe that it was a direct result of his due diligence which ultimately kept me out of jail. In addition, whenever I called David and left him a voice mail he always followed up with me the same day. Much to my surprise, there were a couple of occasions when he called me over the weekend to check and find out how I was doing. When my trial was over David was able to have the OP reduced to a Restraining Order (RO). Once I complete my court ordered classes, both the OP and RO will be expunged from my record. David truly is a man of integrity. He treats others the way he would prefer to be treated. He will not candy coat the legal issue. I discovered this about David, what you see is what you get. In my opinion, the legal profession would gain more respect if there was a multitude of lawyers practicing law in the same manner David Ridings practices. David Ridings not only walks the walk, he talks the talk. What you see is what you get! Retaining David Ridings as my counselor changed my life. I got more from David than I ever expected. I would recommend David to anyone needing an excellent defense lawyer. He was worth every dollar I spent to retain and use his services. If you need a moral, ethical, reliable, trustworthy, dependable, responsive, hardworking and dedicated attorney, I strongly recommend hiring David. David Ridings keep up the excellent work! The legal profession as a whole needs more lawyers like you! It is ashamed you cannot be cloned!! I OWE YOU!!! Thank you!!!

David Ridings was a very caring lawyer. He worked on my daughters and my case for almost one year, until all charges were dismissed. He kept us informed of every new detail and always answered our phone calls and texts. I would definately recommend David Ridings to anyone needing legal help in Nas...hville.

We got in a situation where my family needed a lawyer for the first time in ours lives. We did not know how to hire a lawyer we could trust. We contacted David because he was referred as the lawyer to best represent us in our criminal case. David is understanding, patience and honest and situations... which may happen in court. We knew nothing about criminal law and David guided us though the process, also keeping us updated on our case status/handing paperwork. David fought for us and won our case with a dismissal. I believe that the hard work he done on our case he would do with all of his clients. I can honestly say we do not know what could have happened if we did not pick David as our lawyer. I would recommend David of all types of criminal cases
