Best attorney I've ever known

David helped me get through a couple different charges in both Davidson County and Wilson County. The charges I had against me could have ruined me both from a job prospect perspective and a financial perspective. David skillfully maneuvered through these charges and the ultimate outcome was well bey...ond better than I could have imagined. If anyone needs a criminal defense lawyer David is unquestionably the best lawyer in the mid TN area. I highly recommend hiring this man if you should ever find yourself in dark times and need a light at the end of the tunnel.

Excellent Help Out Of State

I am not from TN and was on vacation, having a great time in Nashville...until I wasn't. I was arrested for Domestic and needed a criminal defense attorney. I found attorney David Ridings and he was incredible. He knew immediately what I needed to do, and because I live out out state, he managed and ...worked my case so I didn't have to continue trekking to TN for court appearances. He was very accessible, and responded promptly at all times when I called or sent a text with any questions I had for him. My case was dismissed and expunged from my record, thanks to attorney Ridings experience and ultimate professionalism. I highly recommend him.

Savior

I was extremely irresponsible and careless one night and ended up with a DUI. It was my first offense and I was terrified of the negative stigma that comes with being arrested and having a record. I searched around for a lawyer and thank God I found Mr. Ridings. From the first consultation, he let me... know that everything was going to be okay and that I just need to concentrate on learning from my mistake and changing. I listened to his every instruction and not only was my case dismissed I learned a ton about myself. He really helped me realize the error in my ways and provided a solid foundation for me to leave the situation a better person. He knows all the district attorneys and officers and has a great understanding of how the court system works. Don't walk, run to Mr.Ridings if you need any help

The Best Attorney

I was pulled over for going 38 in a 30 and subsequently charged with a DUI. Needless to say I was overwhelmed with stress about what penalties I would be facing. After hours of research looking for the right attorney I made the decision to hire Mr. Ridings. This was the first and last time I would... be arrested for anything. I didn't get in an accident thankfully, but drinking and driving was a very bad decision. Hiring Mr. Ridings was the best decision I could have made regarding my case. He was able to calm me down as much as possible and explain to me what I was facing. When we got to court for my first court date I could tell right away that Mr. Ridings was the attorney that had the most respect from everyone in the courtroom and that he was going to fight for the best outcome I could get. Mr. Ridings was able to get my DUI reduced to reckless endangerment even though the arresting officer and 2 assistant DA's wanted to convict me with DUI. Mr. Ridings also made sure the probation officer helped me with my probation in a positive way. Im thankful that I had Mr. Ridings representing me.
