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 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

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.
