"When life throws you a curve ball and you need an ace on the mound, call Doug he will save the day. We got lucky and called Doug's office on a whim and because of their honesty and integrity lead us to a path of overcoming a very traumatic situation. Never once felt they just cared to get paid, but that we were family when they took our case on and we were in it together. I seriously love these guys."

"Last year in the summertime I decided to drive drunk inexcusably. In this really strict county, I got arrested for my second DUI. I realized I wanted to hire an attorney immediately, but whom should I hire? What should I do first? Money was tight, and I knew that due to COVID, I wouldn't be capable of meeting anyone in person. I was recommended to Ridley Defense by a family member. I called and they answered every single one of my questions and also made me feel like my life wasn't over. Immediately after, they reached out and provided me with precisely what I needed, honesty and guidance. I couldn't have selected a better lawyer. They checked-in with me regularly and made me feel relaxed and also on the right path. That only goes to show how much they really care for clients and their well-being. I was very comfortable and reassured of the outcomes after the process came to an end. I was not just happy for a favorable result. I am so proud to say that I'm satisfied as a client, I'm currently back employed and participating in a DUI program. I can't really imagine anyone else helping me more! I'm so thankful more than anything else for having Ridley Defense by my side."

"I would definitely give a six star rating if it was possible. I really can’t explain how thankful I am to Ridley Defense. At first, I wasn’t too sure how to go about getting a lawyer for my situation but this 3rd time around I knew I had to. I was referred by a really good friend of mine who was in a similar situation. If you’re looking for someone who is going to fight for you, these people are the ones to call. Not all heroes wear capes. They got me the best deal I could have hoped for. I couldn’t even believe it at first. I was expecting the worst. I will forever be thankful to Ridley Defense. They treated me like family."

"I'm giving 5 stars for a really simple reason, I received 5-star service. From the first call, I knew I was in excellent hands. When I got on the phone, I could feel a genuine energy and I felt that same energy throughout my experience with the firm. While I worked with one of firm's associates for the majority of my case, I was happy to hear from the principal, Doug, very early on in the process who assured me that he would be available if I needed him, but that he was placing me in the care of an experienced attorney who would go the extra mile for me--and she did. Danielle was always courteous, communicative, responsive, proactive, resourceful, and strategic. She made smart suggestions and decisions for my benefit. She resolved my case in my favor in less than a week. In all, I had a stellar experience with the firm beginning to end and am sure I hired the best in the business when I locked them in. Hire them and thank me later! :-)"
