Long story short. Have never been in trouble before in my entire life and was facing a DUI and a related charge. Not having been through the process before I was completely terrified of both the potential penalties and stigma associated with a conviction. David took me through the process, com...municated well the entire time, and reassured me every time I needed him to. The respect he commanded in the courtroom was clear. He negotiated a great deal that resulted in a lesser charge and a dismissal of the other one. He never guaranteed a result - a good attorney never does, but the result was definitely amazing and exactly what the expectations he set for me. If you find yourself in a situation, there's no other attorney I'd recommend hiring but David Ridings.

I was charged with a DUI back in Jan 2017 in Davidson County and blew a .16 (double the legal limit). This was my first offense. I met with about 6-8 attorneys in Nashville and unlike all of the others, Ridings told me from the first phone call that I would be "fine". My charge was reduced from a DUI... to a reckless endangerment with no jail time, no community service, and no restricted license. David was confident, re-assuring and extremely well-respected in the court room.

I could not have had a better person to guide me through the Davidson County legal system that David Ridings. My problems began while on business travel through Nashville and had me sleepless for weeks as a conviction would have brought significant pain (personally and professionally). After some qu...ick research I built a list of 5 attorneys to contact about my situation and determined that I would call David first to hear his thoughts. I didn’t make another call. He said everything he could to assure me that this could be resolved and followed through with the charges being dropped at my first court appearance. This outcome far exceeded my most optimistic expectations.
