Restorer of peace of mind and the feeling that your still a important person in society.

Those who have stumbled as I did, peace of mind is just a phone call away, Im talking about David, yes I call him by his first name because after speaking with him the first time it seemed as though he was my best friend, and it continued throughout my whole case, he provided me with a understandin...g that I made a mistake , but I was still an important person in society. After spending days beating myself up and feeling so empty, David was used by God to bring life back into me. Through his knowledge and respect for the court officials, he himself is given much respect in the court room. His dedication to my case was top notch, he was able to overwhelme me with the results, my implied consent charge was dismissed, and my DUI was reduced to a lesser charge, with 6 months of probation, no loss of drivers license, which was big for me being I hold a CDL license. He told me at the end of every phone call or text that I would be fine, and he did exactly that for me. Don't go another day feeling empty, call David G Ridings, I guarantee he will return your call ASAP. David sets the bar high amongst Attorneys. One of the many best characteristics of him is he is a true Christian man, and he shines in the courtroom, Thank you so much David. You have a forever friend in me. David G Ridings, best Attorney in Tn.

DUI charge

I found Mr. David Ridings online as I was looking for representation of a DUI charge. I had never been in trouble before, but had found myself in a situation that was mentally about to tear me apart. I had no idea where to start to look for an attorney, but when I looked up online David Ridings was o...ne of the only ones that popped up that had amazing reviews! I called him right away and was able to speak with him 2 days after being arrested. He spoke with me over the phone for awhile about what had happened, and right away he took stress off me, by assuring me he could help. I called David back a few nights later to ask for representation, and he said yes right away. I met with him the very next day! Again he asked questions to get to know me and what had happened. I had my first court day soon after our meeting, and before I even arrived to court he had already made a deal with the D.A. My charge was dropped down to a reckless driving. I could not have been anymore happier and relieved. I highly recommend David Ridings for anyone that needs a criminal defense lawyer. He is very personable and will do what has to be done. He always answers his messages and he is easy to get a hold of. He makes you feel like a person and not just another client or a troublesome person!

I would definitely recommend Mr. Ridings

I was recently charged with a DUI, second offense. It was actually my third offense (not sure why I was only charged with second). I was horrified of what my punishment was going to be. I just knew it was going to be significant causing me to loose my job, possibly my house. I talked to a few dif...ferent layers and decided to hire Mr. Ridings, and am sure glad I did. He somehow managed to get my charged reduced to an enhanced DUI one. This came with a punishment, but I was able to keep my job. I was very pleased with this outcome. Mr. Ridings is a stand up guy and an excellent attorney.

DUI Dave

I got arrested for my first dui a few months back and naturally I was very nervous. David put my mind at ease during the consultation but it wasn't until we got to court that I really knew I hired the right lawyer. From the minute he walked into the courtroom, he damanded respect from everyone in the... room including the judge. Within a few minutes of talking with the DA, he struck a deal to get my charge reduced to reckless driving and negotiated the terms that I wanted. If you want somebody that cares and will fight for you, David is your guy.

5 star lawyer!

I was recently charged with a DUI (first offense) and was totally petrified and lost as to what to do. After some research, I decided I needed a lawyer and went on to hire David Ridings. I am SO glad I did! From my very first phone conversation with him, David was incredibly professional and reass...uring that he could help me get my charge reduced to reckless driving. And he did! With no interlock device to boot. He was always easy to get ahold of and answered all of my questions without making me feel dumb. In the courtroom it was very clear that he is well respected by his peers. I cannot sing his praises enough. I hope to never be in this situation again, but if I am I will absolutely be hiring David Ridings, and you should too!
