David Clay Ryder

I met with several defense attorneys from an online search after being charged with a DUI, all of which were qualified and personable. But David was referred to me through a family attorney and I immediately knew once meeting with him that he would be the best fit to represent me. He instilled the mo...st confidence in me, gave me an honest expectation for the outcome, and eased my mind regarding this case so that I could go about my daily life in between the legal proceedings. Between David and his legal partner Nat we were able to win my DOL case, and reduce the DUI charge to Negligent Driving in the 2nd Degree with no jail time and only 1 day of work crew. Even better, the Negligent Driving charge was given a deferred sentencing and after 2 years of compliance with the court's requests, the pending charges will be dismissed. David provided me with exceptional legal representation, won me an outcome that far exceeded my expectations, and assured me throughout the process that all legal defense actions were being taken so that I could continue to be productive and live my normal life. Thanks to David I not only have a record in good-standing, but I have hope and access to the future I dream and work towards daily.

David was a dependable, awesome and trustworthy. I would recommend David to any of my friends if they are in need. David was recommended by a friend whose friend is an attorney as well. We went to David after a DUI arrest that led us to a DUI criminal case in the court as well as a DOL hearing fo...r the same. Throughout the process, David kept us informed about the happenings on time proactively even when we did not ask him at times. David was very friendly and accommodating during our personal visits and did not mind to spend extra time when we needed even at after office late hours. David was very knowledgeable in DOL hearing and with his experience, he was able to ask for canceling the case and it was successful. We were very happy with David's approach in the criminal case as well. David was able to explain the circumstances and got a reduced conviction. Glad we took friend's recommendation and went with David. Thank you David!

After getting pulled over in Edmonds for smoking marijuana and driving, I gave David a call. Not truly knowing the ins and outs of the legality after I-502 I really did not know what I was up against. Having a knowledgeable, trustworthy, experienced lawyer made all the difference. Being 18 at the tim...e i thought that the worst was coming my way, with a THC content of 28 ng/l I was almost 6 times the legal limit. I got pulled over in march 2013 just a little bit after the new laws went into effect. He got me a deal with the city of Edmonds that if i do not violate my probation i can get out of this with a minor dui (glorified MIP) no sr22 insurance! He got me a grand slam of a deal. As more and more people get pulled over for green DUI's the laws will be even more refined, my advice; have David Ryder represent you in the courtroom and you will not be disappointed. The biggest thing that stood out to me was that at the end of our case we entered the deal, and after we got out of the courtroom he said if i ever have any temptations to smoke or drink give him a call day or night for some reassurance. That showed me how much he actually cared about representing me as a person and supporting me being sober. Reasonably priced, great legal skills, experienced, great communication and overall a great person; if i ever have a run in with the law again i will most definitely have David represent me.

Mr. Ryder handled my DUI case and got it reduced to negligent driving. He gave excellent advice and was always very easy to ahold of. I could pick up the phone and give him a call any day of the week and talk to him right then or he'd call me back later that day. He was straight up with me with every...thing and was very to the point. Also he kept me informed whenever he received any new information about the case, as well as extremely knowledgeable in his field. He is trustworthy and takes client confidentiality very seriously.
