Best and most caring attorney out there

David represented my brother and I on an assault charge. David was able to get the charges dismissed. Mr. Ridings was the most caring attorney that I have ever come across. He answered every question I had and constantly assured me everything was going to be okay. David has a great relationship with ...everyone within the system. He knows the law from the inside out. Mr. Ridings is a Godly man who is not just looking for your money. Having David on your side is the best decision you can make when going through the legal process. He is a former cop and understands both sides of the law. If it weren't for David I would have been a nervous wreck. He is awesome about getting back to you and guiding you through the process. He is extremely confident in the courtroom, reducing your anxiety within the courtroom. He gives you his personal phone and even lets you text him! For the sake of your future I would say hire Mr. David Ridings.

Superior

Once Mr. Ridings was hired for my representation, I immediately felt a sense of relief. He was strong, poised, articulate, and highly energetic. That was the impression before we even began to delve into the case itself. He was extremely knowledgeable, and in turn taught me the scope of what was pert...inent in my case. He proceeded to navigate me through the legal process with ease. Mr. Ridings took the reigns so to speak, and I felt very comfortable in that he would take good care of me as a client. He was responsive when I had questions, and demonstrated that he was not going to back down to wrongdoers. He stood up for what was right and we won! I recommend that anybody looking for an ethical, superb attorney.....hire Mr. David Ridings.

Review of Attorney David G Ridings

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.

Highly recommended!!

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!!

That case would certainly have been "fun" to try. Not that trials are fun... but vindicating the innocent is very fun! That said... I certainly understand the decision to take the reduction and ultimate dismissal and expungment without the risk of a trial. Good for you! And I am honored to have been chosen to represent you. I know how many choices you had, and I don't take that lightly. Best to you for the future.

The Perfect Solution

Mr.Ridings recently took on my case which involved two felonies and an order of protection. These cases were filed under false pretense and were ultimately dismissed. He arrived at the criminal court on time and presented the case with much confidence and asserted knowledge. Prior to the hearing, he ...would constantly communicate with me and reassure me that he would do the best he could. Mr. Ridings is simply the best lawyer out there. He doesn't just care about winning, but also the clients themselves. I would most certainty reccomend him to anyone searching for a stupendous lawyer.
