Reem To the Rescue. Attorney Reem Yassin was more than just being attentive for our legal needs, she assisted diligently with urgently needed local and accredited residential mental health facilities. Led the way sourcing referrals and personally calling known contacts directly. We were blessed to have connected with her through Ridley Defense.

If there was a 6 star Ridley Defense should get it! I ended up in an unfortunate situation and needed help. I worked with Michelle and I'm forever thankful for the outcome of my case. The response from her and Doug was outstanding. I had many last minute text messages when I needed an answer in that second. And I got a reply - in one second later. It's such a relief to be able to communicate so effectively. Michelle was always on top of the game! If I ever have any issues again they will be the first to approach.

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 had called and spoken with Brain, the business manager. He had answered every single one of my questions and also made me feel like my life wasn't over. Immediately after I reached out and ended up spending an hour with Brian, we both went through my case and provided me with precisely what I needed, honesty and guidance. Michelle Silva represented me in my DUI case, and I couldn't have selected a better lawyer. I could indeed inform you, Michelle could very well assist you with every inch of the process. Her recommendation on this unpleasant procedure was made much easier for me by her expertise. Her check-ins with me every week (often many times per week) had me aware of my case and made me feel relaxed and also on the right path. That only goes to show how much she really cares for her clients and as well as there well-being. You could very well feel gradually more confident of your opportunities as you proceed with Michelles' plan. 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 to being employed and participating in a DUI program. She also went above and beyond with assisting me with my application for my ankle monitor as well. This wasn't simple, but worthwhile. Michelle is indeed a lawyer that cares for your improvement as an individual. I can't really imagine anyone else helping me more! I'm so thankful more than anything else for having Ridley Defense, but most of all Michelle by my side. Thank you so very much Michelle!

Doug Ridley is an amazing attorney. His knowledge of the prosecutor's system is key to getting cases dismissed before they are ever filed. I referred a case to Doug that was dispensed of quickly because he knew the right people to speak with before things escalated. If I was ever charged with a crime, Doug would be my first call. Scott Williams, Esq. The Small Business Law Firm, P.C.
