The best lawyer, the best outcome!

My husband was in an auto accident and charged with a first offense DUI. TN has one of the strictest DUI laws and if convicted, your life can be turned completely upside down. Get yourself the best DUI lawyer and call David. It was money well spent. We could not have asked for a better outcome. ...When David says, "I will defend you like you're my own family.", he truly means it in every way. After reviewing 5 lawyers, we decided to go with David because he had the right mix of professionalism and empathy we were looking for. David is extremely knowledgeable of the local court system and TN DUI laws. He is a real people person and puts your mind at ease because he takes care of everything for you regarding your case. He is thorough in explaining the legal matters and the court procedures through the entire legal process. Even more important, he made us feel like family.

Trust and Integrity

David Ridings is a Nashville area DUI lawyer. I have found him to be trustworthy and full of insight. As a former Nashville Metro Police Officer, David has brought me insight that I believe no other attorney has when it comes to traffic stops and takes the time to evaluate each situation on it's own ...merit, not a cookie cutter type of response. It's good to have legal counsel who knows 'the other side' and still maintains integrity, and in a nutshell that's the experience I've had with David Ridings. I believe he's the best you can get for a DUI defense. Just like I'd want a former IRS employee to be my tax defender, I definitely want David Ridings, a former Nashville Metro police officer as my DUI defender.

Ridings is Your Best Defense. Period.

Legal trouble is never good, but if you're in it, David Ridings is who you want by your side. When my husband faced a DUI charge three years ago, we didn't want to take chances with his defense. David was recommended to us by three separate people as "the best criminal defense attorney in Nashville" ...and simply, "the one you need to call". From the moment I met David, I knew we were in good hands. His expertise and professionalism were immediately evident but beyond that, David is an ethical, warm and genuinely caring person who serves his clients with integrity and utmost competence—he is as solid as they come. As an ex-cop with 15 years experience as a criminal defense attorney, David has a unique and thorough understanding of every angle of the law and he knows exactly how to apply that knowledge to the benefit of his client. David instills 100% confidence—you can trust that feeling. When I found myself facing charges last year, there was no question who to call. David has represented us four times in three counties, each time getting us results we didn't even think possible! When the chips are down, there is no one I would trust more than David. He is, without question, your best defense.

The Best Nashville Criminal Lawyer Hands Down!!

David Ridings is not just the best criminal lawyer in Nashville if not the state, he is one of the most understanding and genuine people I have ever met. David has represented me successfully on 3 separate criminal incidents in 3 separate counties! (Davidson, Williamson & Rutherford) I chose David ...initially because of his decade of experience as a police officer, 15+ years of criminal defense experience, and the fact he was the leading authority in DUI defense cases. Personally I wouldnt make any legal decision without consulting David first. If you are looking for a Nashville criminal lawyer, do yourself a favor and call David Ridings - youll be glad you did.

criminal case

David represented my mother on a first degree murder case . Not only was he a great lawyer, but he is a christian man. That meant a lot to me and my family, where can you find a lawyer who helps you, but also prays for and with you? David started out as a lawyer and ended up my friend.
