I initially found David's name through this website and decided to contact him. The first time we spoke about my case we spoke for about an hour and he was very professional and courteous, offering me advice for the situation even if I decided not to retain him. During our first meeting, David demo...nstrated his confidence and experience in dealing with such cases. He knew the emotions I was experiencing, having never been involved with the law before, and sought to make sure I knew that he was on my side and willing to fight for me. David explained every step of the court process clearly to me and made sure I understood everything. He always kept in contact with me on and before my court dates to see if i had any questions. David ended up getting my DUI charges reduced, to my great relief. If you've never been arrested before, and are feeling scared, nervous, ashamed, or hopeless about your circumstances, I would seriously consider giving David a call. He helped me realize that my mistake did not automatically make me any less of a person, and that it was something to be learned from. I want to thank David for the hard work he did on my case and for providing me some semblance of peace of mind during one of the more stressful and scary times of my life.

I could not be any more pleased with the result my attorney David G. Ridings was able to obtain while defending me in my criminal complaint case. I saw first hand how the presiding Judge and the prosecutor extended tremendous respect for David and his courtroom etiquette. David has obviously earned t...heir respect and the professional relationships David has with the officers of the court serves his clients very well. David will consult with you, explain the court proceedings process and will then develop a strong, robust and effective defense for you as he did for me. If you find yourself in need af a criminal defense attorney I highly recommend you retain the services of David G Ridings. He's a winner.

There are not enough positive words I can say about Mr. Ridings. When you or a family member are charged with a serious offense there is nothing in my opinion, more anxiety producing then trying to navigate the legal system. My son was arrested, taken to jail and was facing multiple fines, penalties... and jail time. Like everyone else in this type situation, we researched for the best attorney. We met and talked with a few, but when we met with Mr. Ridings, I immediately knew he was an answer to prayer. In reading his profile we knew he had experience on every side of the law. He was kind, patient, informative and answered every question we had. He has a genuine interest in you as a person, actually returns your calls and stays in contact with you throughout the whole process! Like I said all attorneys are not the same! Because of Mr. Ridings expertise, my sons charges were dismissed and from what I understand almost unheard of with the charges he faced. We are so thankful and grateful to Mr. Ridings. He is an excellent attorney and has truly met his calling! Thank you David Ridings, your the best! God bless you and your family!

My experience with David was an excellent one. I had a serious DUI case that David got reduced to Reckless Endangerment and only had 12 hours of community services and an alcohol awareness school. He went the extra mile on my case, preparing case law for my defense. I would highly recommend Mr. Ridin...gs if anyone is in a similar situation. Thanks again David.

If you find yourself in a position as I did, knowing nothing about the legal system for a DUI, do yourself a favor and hire David Ridings! I am a licensed professional in the community and a few months ago I got arrested for my first DUI. I had never been in trouble before, let alone arrested! I was ...petrified as to what that meant in regards to my driving license, professional license, and just embarrassed to even be in my situation. Even researching on the Internet for an attorney was very overwhelming. After reviewing several online profiles and speaking to different attorneys, I chose to retain David. He seemed to be aggressive, and due to his background/ professional work history seemed to be very knowledgeable about the TN laws around DUI's. After speaking with David, I knew I would be in excellent hands! He was attentive and empathetic to my situation which helped to put me more at ease. Before my first court appearance he reviewed my field sobriety tape. He told me that he felt very confidence that if we went to trial, he could beat the charge. He said he thought it would be "fun" to try my case. Now that is confidence! I chose not to go to trial but he was able to get everything resolved at the second hearing. Due to his hard work and expertise, he was able to do something for me that, as I hear, is very rare. He was able to get a judicial diversion of the DUI. For me that means that after six months of probation, if all terms are met (and they WILL be) my record will be expunged!! He is extremely knowledgeable of the local court system and its officials, which is to your benefit . Needless to say, I am very pleased with my outcome! Thank you so much David!! You are very much worth every penny spent!!
