DUI/DWI Attorney Riddell was phenomenal! I had a couple unfortunate charges that I was dealing with and was uncertain and didn't have an understanding of the process. He kept me calm and walked me through the legal process from start to finish. He was very responsive, answered my questions right away and was organized and was extremely professional! I give Attorney Riddell a 10/10 for sure!

***UPDATE*** My impatience prompted an Initial Negative Review of Mr. Riddell on a professional level when I did not hear back from him. Initially, it left me in a Frustrated position due to Law Enforcement and the Legal System. After speaking with Mr. Riddell, I felt like I "short changed" him regarding his professional abilities. I owe him an apology, and am grateful for his willingness to assist me. Mr. Riddell was very apologetic for not getting back with me, and looked at every Positive Avenue to assist me. He is very assertive and proactive, and I can't ask for anything more. ***Initial Post*** This is just another "lawyer" that over sells his ability! Terrified of the TRUTH about the "Legal System"... I wouldn't trust this guy to deal with parking ticket!!

5 Star Experience I live out of state and had multiple traffic related violations with a bench warrant that needed to be resolved. I was able to speak with Douglass within 2 hours of contacting his firm. He was polite, professional, and took the time to gather the details. Most importantly, he must have connections and great skill in practicing law. He not only had the bench warrant lifted, but had my case dismissed in 36 hours. A huge thank you to his entire team. Looking at other attorneys in the Franklin County area, his pricing is much lower too! I would recommend Riddell Law if you are in a bind and need a competent attorney to represent you. Well done!

When I contacted attorney Riddell I was very discouraged by the traffic citation I had received. However, Mr. Riddell put me at ease by his clear understanding of my situation and concerns. I immediately engaged him as an advocate. He then immediately began to work on my behalf. He clearly instructed me on what I needed to do. So I quickly took those steps prescribed and submitted the needed documentation. Attorney Riddell patiently worked with the court officers, communicated with me on each step in the process, and produced wonderful results. His services were surprisingly affordable and his office was pleasant to work with.

Mr. Riddell is a first-rate attorney who delivered exactly what he told me he would do, at precisely the rate he'd quoted ahead of time. His communication was outstanding and timely, his documentation was without fault, and his professionalism was equal to the very best I have seen. I would hire him again without question or concern. I have hired enough attorneys to know the difference between bad and good; Mr. Riddell is the best.

Had my first speeding ticket, didn’t have any idea what to really expect since I was out of town. Got ahold of riddel law firm and he explained everything pretty clearly and just paid the fee and after that he took care of everything for me and explained everything as soon as he received any updates on the case and compared to others I’d like to say he’s pretty affordable too!!

Mr. riddell is very professional. He does what he says, I had two tickets from a hazmat transportation issue in Columbus, Ohio. I was summoned to appear in court. I live approximatley 2-1/2 hours from Columbus. Mr. Riddell appeared in court for me, so I did not have to take off work, I am a CDL driver. Mr Riddell listened to every word I had to say, he ultimately got me off on the charges and no points were put on my licences, which would have sffected my employment. Mr. Ridell is the best attorney that I have eer dealt with. His fees are very reasonable. I highly recomend him.

Changed my opinion on lawyers Got a ticket beginning of October 80/65…Doug got it dismissed after an online class…got another ticket mid October 87/65…I thought I was screw and honestly I deserved it…Doug got that dismissed too…honestly I don’t know how he does it but I offered to add him to my last will and testament…he declined of course…wouldn’t even accept a tip…if you have a ticket call him, you won’t regret it.

I received a Hazmat violation in Columbus on I-71.Googled, Hazmat Attorneys in Ohio and Attorney Riddell came highly recommended. This was my first offense and i was very nervous about how this may turn out and he assured me that all would be ok.He was very knowledgeable about the law and very understanding about truckers as if he has placed himself in our shoes with certain aspects of the law.He walked me through what actions we were going to take going forward with the case. Told me his goal and what he was seeking to achieve.And he did just what he said. No points against my CDL. Nothing on my record. I paid a small fine and im able to breathe again. I highly recommend Attorney Riddell!!

I hired Mr. Riddell after receiving a ticket in Columbus a few weeks ago. I am very pleased with the service he provided. He takes care of everything associated with your ticket for a very reasonable flat fee. I live about three hours from Columbus so the fee was actually cheaper than travelling and missing work. If you ever have any traffic related legal problems in Columbus Mr Riddell is the man to call. You will not regret it.

This is the lawyer for you if you want someone that is going to work hard for you, and get the best possible outcome that a lawyer can. **** ******* is top-notch! He has been my husband's attorney on three cases (OVI, violation of a protection order, and probation violation)...My husband kept his work driving privileges the whole time of his OVI suspension, and didn't have to miss work to go to court until the final hearing. Also he kept him out of jail. The protection order case was dismissed at the first hearing. The probation violation is still pending, but he has already done more than we expected, and we have complete faith that he will come through for us yet again. I stop short of calling him a miracle worker, but I would recommend him to anyone in a bad spot. He is affordable, and he really works hard for you. His honesty is refreshing! Look no further, as a phone call to **** ******* will be the best decision you make.

Long story short, I got in trouble, couldn't sleep, so at about 3 am filled a contact form, he replied within 15 min. Since then, he was my ROCK. He didn't pry, he was on TOP of the game. All I had to do is to provide my paperwork and show my face. He took care of everything else. He didn't hold my arm, but he DID walk me through every step all they way through and more.His number is saved with me forever!!!!!!

I can’t say enough great things about Doug Riddell as an attorney. I have had to use a few attorneys in the past, and I have learned that some lawyers don’t really care what happens to you as long as they get their money. They just want to get things done as quickly as possible and move on, not Doug. He could not be more opposite.I was extremely impressed with how diligently he worked on my case. Before hiring Doug, I spoke with two other traffic lawyers, but after a few minutes on the phone with Doug, I was convinced he was the best person for my case...and I was right. I had a pretty high speeding ticket, and I didn’t really think it would be possible to have it dismissed, but was hopeful of just avoiding the points. Between my clean driving record, and Doug’s knowledge and multiple trips to court, he got it dismissed, and I just had to pay court costs and $20 for a driving course which I’m glad I took. I learned a lot more than I thought, and it has impacted how I see driving and the way I drive.On the phone, Doug told me a few things to expect, and the expectations he gave me were realistic. He told me he would shop my case around with different prosecutors until he found the right one, and after three trips to court, he did exactly that. He always called me after each trip to court to update me, and I was blown away when he told me he got my case dismissed. Zero points and nothing on my record. There could not have been a better outcome, and I am certain a lot of lawyers would have only went once, and whatever they could get quickly is what I would have ended up with.He is very responsive, extremely knowledgeable, diligent and committed, excellent with communication, he does every single thing he says he is going to do and does it when he says, and his fees are really reasonable. Both of the guys I spoke to were more expensive, but they seemed to care less about the outcome, and they seemed a lot less willing to actually fight for my case, not to mention they didn’t seem like the knew nearly as much about these types of things as Doug. It was not the price that convinced me to hire him, it was how he presented everything to me and just how he was. I would have gladly paid double or more than what I paid for his services. He was worth penny. I’ve never felt that about any other attorney ever. Some have just been huge wastes of money even if they cut their prices in half. Doug isn’t out to gouge people and his moral and integrity are high.I don’t care how much you think you’re out of luck, hire this man! You will be much better off if you do. Granted, there are a lot of variables, but with Doug on your side, I know you’ll get the best outcome you can with him working for you.Thank you so much Doug for all of your hard work and dedication and being a class act.

My experience was very easy on my part with the best outcome. Doug appeared in court for me and got my speeding ticket reduced to a moving violation: no points on my license and only court fees. He provided me with the most affordable quote in the area so I will definitely go back to Riddell Law if necessary.

I am a CDL driver. I mistakenly pulled a load of Haz-mat through downtown Columbus, OH. I was ticketed and also made to appear in court. I contacted Mr. Riddell. He listened to every word I had to say without interrupting and decided to take my case. In the end, Mr. Riddell got me off on the charge and no points were added to my CDL. Mr. Riddell is an AWESOME attorney!!!!!!! USE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was driving through Ohio and got a traffic ticket and a missed court date. Doug helped get it reduced to tail light violation. He could've charged way more but he didn't. He also was fast and communicated everything very well. Hopefully I'll never need a ohio lawyer again, but if I do Ill come back to Riddell law again.

I was facing a very tough situation with a speeding ticket on July 3rd in Columbus. My insurance was going increase and with teenage drivers on my policy...it was not looking good. However that is when I found Riddell Law. Doug called me back in 5 minutes and took it from there. My ticket was dismissed and I just paid court costs. Bottom line I learned my lesson to watch my speed and not exceed the limit. Riddell Law eased the pain of that lesson. I just could not be more pleased with the service and outcome. I highly recommend Riddell Law.

Not only cost efficient but they communicated every step and went out of their way to go into Dublin Mayors Court to discuss my case with the prosecutor. On the day of the court date I didn't need to appear they got it dismissed and just to pay court costs.

I picked Mr. Riddell because of the great reviews so I figured why not share my experience. I went through the city with a Hazmat load and what a mistake. I was facing a very large fine and possible jail time. Mr Riddell assured me that he could get it down to a small fine and possibly nothing on my CDL. He did that exactly, Traffic control device citation dismissed and a small $100 fine + court costs for the local environmental summons and that was it. He had to go to two court dates and was very good at keeping me informed on what was going on. I want to also mention his price was outstanding, and I would definitely use him if needed in the future and you should also.

I don’t normally do reviews, however after dealing with Mr Riddell I felt it important to do so.I received 2 traffic fines/violations within Columbus, OH. After calling Mr Riddell, I felt that not only was his rates beyond reasonable/fair, but maybe even below what would have been a fair rate. What was most important to me though, beyond the fact that his rates were very good is that his communication and service was also very good!Mr Riddell, unlike most lawyers was contactable in the evening. Hours in which most lawyers wouldn’t even take you serious and simply blow you off. He was quick to communicate the terms on the court dates and to keep me updated immediately after so I did not need to be there.If I could give 10 stars to this law firm I definitely would!

Outstanding Representation. I recently resolved a very complex legal situation I was facing in Ohio. Doug not only delivered more than he said he would, he did so very quickly and for an extremely reasonable fee considering all that he did. Every step of the way he was very straightforward, providing an honest expectation of results and time frame, both of which he ultimately delivered on. He was responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. I would send my closest friends to him without hesitation.

Riddell Law helped me out with my traffic ticket so quickly and easily! I called, sent in info about my situation and had Doug Riddell go in and represent me in court, as I was out of town during my court date. He didn't just take the easy way, he was willing to go to a second hearing for me in order to get my ticket and points on my license completely dropped. This was such a simple process and helped me out so much!

Couldn't ask for a better experience. We hired Riddell Law to help when my daughter received a ticket and her court appearance would be when we were out of town. We didn't want her to go through the experience alone. The initial price quote was very fair. When he saw the ticket and my daughter's written explanation of what happened, he lowered the price even farther saying it wouldn't be that hard to take care of. Although it was easy from our side, it wasn't as easy as he thought, but he patiently waited and worked on it along with his other cases until it was satisfactorily resolved. If we hadn't had representation, she would have had a very negative experience. To be honest, my gut instinct was to pay and get on with our lives, but since she was required to appear, we decided to hire Riddell Law. I'm very glad we did.

Riddell Law helped me out with my traffic ticket so quickly and easily! I called, sent in info about my situation and had Doug Riddell go in and represent me in court, as I was out of town during my court date. He didn't just take the easy way, he was willing to go to a second hearing for me in order to get my ticket and points on my license completely dropped. This was such a simple process and helped me out so much!

Couldn't ask for a better experience. We hired Riddell Law to help when my daughter received a ticket and her court appearance would be when we were out of town.

Riddell is such a wonderful and honest smart attorney. I contacted him on my case and he responded immediately and started working on the case even when we never met face to face. Got my case resolved in a timely manner. I have no reservation recommending him for anyone needing legal services. You wouldn’t regret having him as your attorney.

Incredible! If you need a lawyer, hire him! Mr Riddell is kind, brilliant, caring, patient, and made me feel as though I was his only client. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. From the first phone call to the end court date he was there for me every step of the way to answer any questions. Can't thank him enough! No points to my CDL.

Made a mistake & drove into Columbus with Corrosive Placards on my trailer. Officer recommended I get an attorney.
Contacted Mr. Riddell & he agreed to represent me. I was pleasantly surprised by his friendly, professional manner. He appeared in court for me and resolved the case better than I'd hoped. Maintained constant communication so I was well informed every step of the way.
I would highly recommend Mr. Douglas Riddell.

I don’t normally do reviews, however after dealing with Mr Riddell I felt it important to do so.
I received 2 traffic fines/violations within Columbus, OH. After calling Mr Riddell, I felt that not only was his rates beyond reasonable/fair, but maybe even below what would have been a fair rate. What was most important to me though, beyond the fact that his rates were very good is that his communication and service was also very good!
Mr Riddell, unlike most lawyers was contactable in the evening. Hours in which most lawyers wouldn’t even take you serious and simply blow you off. He was quick to communicate the terms on the court dates and to keep me updated immediately after so I did not need to be there.
If I could give 10 stars to this law firm I definitely would!

I came into contact with, Riddell Law, after being pulled over, for excessive speeding. I have a class A CDL driver's license.The charge may have put me behind bars and cost me my career. The attorneys, at Riddel, managed, to get my charges reduced, to an equipment violation, and no points. I was given a reasonable fine and and ordered, to take an online defensive driving course. My career and CDL are intact and I have learned a lesson. Let me make it clear. Hire Riddell, if you need, to win your case. Thank you Doug Riddell.

Douglas took care of me from the moment I received my citation in Columbus. He thoroughly explained the process, as well as the most & least favorable potential outcomes. He communicated well & often, and in the end got me the most favorable outcome. Hopefully I’ll never need his services again, but if I do I’ll definitely be calling him!

Highly Recommend Doug Riddell for an Attorney We hired Doug Riddell to represent my wife on a bogus Domestic Violence charge. The sad thing about mandatory DV protocol is if there is the smallest inkling that someone made physical contact someone is going to jail for the night. Or in my wife's case a holiday weekend. Even though there was nary a scratch by the person making the complaint. People know this police protocol and use it as a weapon against unsuspecting defendants to put them in jail after provoking an incident and escalating it enough to bring a charge. Luckily for us, we did our homework. Saw the good reviews for Doug Riddell. His price and advice was fair and concise. After hiring him we followed his instructions to the letter and the case was dismissed for insufficient evidence. Would highly recommend him for any criminal prosecution attempt. He kept us informed about the case and was always on time to represent us.

Free Consultation Called Mr. Riddell up for his advice regarding a speeding ticket. Left a message with the secretary he called me back within the hour. Told him my situation and he gave it to me strait. He was very down to earth and friendly. Now I may be on my way to possibly not receive a ticket or points on my license.

Doug is an outstanding man and attorney! His core values are were shown through his communication with me and my through case results. #dismisswd Every single time I reached to him he returned all calls and emails. I was quite bothersome in my opinion throughout our ordeal, he never wavered and maintained his professionalism. I simply did not have the time or resources to deal with unforseen circumstances but he showed up like the Superstar he is.

I received a traffic ticket in Dublin, and I called around to some traffic lawyers that handled that area. I was quoted some pretty bizarre prices for what I felt was a simple ticket. When I reached Attorney Riddell's office, I was quoted a very reasonable rate, and he kept me informed every step of the way. Attorney Riddell got my ticket thrown out altogether. I hope that I don't find myself in a situation in which I will need a traffic lawyer, but if so, I would not hesitate to use Riddell Law whatsoever, and proudly recommend his services to friends and family.

Great representation & reasonable fees I accidentally drove on a non-hazmat route. Was ticketed for environmental misdeamnor-which could have carried jail time & large fine and failure to obey traffic device-(sign) which was a 2pt violation. He called and kept in contact with me-not some secretary. He even called me on the weekend. He went to both court hearings for me. He closed the case w/no pts on my license, the traffic device ticket was dropped and the other only had a $100 fine and can be expunged in a year. Impressed with his communication and peofessionalism. Very reasonable fees for his service! Highly recommend!

Choose this Lawyer I was charged with OVI and possession of marijuana paraphernalia. I was in an accident and refused the breathalyzer, an action which carries an automatic 1 year license suspension if convicted. I met with Mr. Riddell and he could not have been more helpful or encouraging. After several court dates in which he continued to work with the prosecution on a deal he was able to get a plea worked out. The OVI was reduced to reckless driving and the paraphernalia charge was waived. Additionally I was not required to attend any sort of weekend class for driving and I had no driving restrictions at all! My license was fully reinstated the same day as my court appearance. The only penalty was the minimum fine for the reckless driving charge plus court costs. This was a first offense for me but I could not have hoped for a better result. Mr. Riddell charges a flat rate in most cases and it was much more affordable than all of the other OVI attorneys I looked at. Needless to say I am ecstatic with the representation I received and I highly recommend Mr. Riddell for all driving related issues.

I live almost 3 hours away from Columbus and got charged with possession of marijuana. Doug was understanding about the fact that I lived so far away and still worked to get the case transferred and eventually got it dropped to disorderly conduct. He kept me constantly updated and was very easy to contact. I'm very happy with the outcome.

While living out-of-state, I found out there was an outstanding traffic violation and court costs. Resulting in a warrant! So glad I made this call! Doug was more than fair with his price and kept me up-to-date with calls and text. Had everything resolved in less than three days.

I chose Doug for my speeding ticket due to the overwhelming number of positive reviews and I was not disappointed. Within minutes of submitting a "more information request form" on his website, he called me and discussed my case. After hearing my case, he told me what he was able to do and made it clear what the costs would be with his flat fees before signing any paperwork. Once hired, he handled everything professionally and quickly and, within 2 weeks, my case was dismissed. I hope I never need his services again but he will be the first person I call if I do.

Quick and Painless! No sooner than 5 minutes after I submitted a form on his website, I got a call from Doug. I got a speeding ticket going 70 in a 55. A 2pt offense which would have caused my insurance to increase. I explained the situation to him and that I hoped to get it reduced to a 0pt offense. He was confident he could do that for me, which relieved my stress. A few days later, he called to let me know it was reduced to a 0pt offense. Case closed. Cheaper fine and no worry of my insurance going up. If my driving record were a little better, I'm certain he could have gotten the charge dismissed all together! The process was quick and painless! No need for me to drive downtown, find parking, wait in a lobby for hours until my case is called and then trying to plan a good defense for myself. Avoiding that hassle was well worth his flat rate ($150). And the outcome made it all the better!Should I (or family/friends) need a defense for any traffic related deal, I'll be certain to call him again. I wish I had used him in the past!

I was surprised how smooth an experience could be with a law office. A few days before my court date for a speeding ticket I thought I should see if a lawyer could help. I wasn't expecting much on short notice, but I tried Riddell on the recommendation of a friend. Within hours of my initial email (Christmas Eve)I was on the phone with the lawyer that got my ticket dismissed with fines removed. I'll definitely try not to get another ticket. If I do get another ticket, I'll call Mr. Riddell right away.

I picked Doug's name from a Google search when my son had an incident. Doug explained his flat fee and what he thought he could do for us. He prepared us for the worst but in the background was working with prosecutors to help get the charges reduced. He has working relationships with local prosecutors that make him extremely effective. He managed to get the charges reduced and literally gave my son a second chance. I have never worked with a lawyer before but Doug made the process easy. He was available when we needed him and always returned calls or text. I can't say enough about how pleased we were with him.

Good Guy, Great Lawyer, Very Effective! Douglas Riddell is very responsive and an excellent communicator. I found Doug online after receiving a traffic ticket in a speed trap area near downtown Columbus that I didn't think was fair since the officer pulled me over right before the sign changed speeds. Not even a full day later after entering my information on the site did Doug reach out to me to hear my side of the story and take on my case. I actually couldn't reach out to Doug until Day 7 of my 10 days until my court appearance and Doug helped me navigate how to get an extension so that he could review and work on my case. He gave me clear instructions on what to send him and then clearly stated what he thought he could do for me after reviewing. Doug is great at what he does and his predictions more than came true.His price is more than fair (believe me I received some crazy offers from other lawyers in the mail).I would recommend Doug to anyone who needs his services and I would use him in the future as well if needed (although I don't anticipate receiving any more speeding tickets anytime soon)!

I contacted Doug after I found his profile online and saw that he had received several accreditations, awards and positive recognition. The reason I contacted him was due to a speeding ticket that I was looking for his help to get resolved. Doug was extremely helpful, proactive and very much on top of things throughout the process. He kept me informed and resolved the case very quickly and successfully. I can't say enough about how efficient and qualified he was. Would definitely recommend him for others looking for great representation.

Good guy, follows through, does what he says he will. A++++++++++ I can't say enough good things about Doug Riddell.I found Doug online after receiving a traffic violation from a township police officer that I didn't think was fair. I entered my info on his website on a Saturday morning, and that same afternoon (on a Saturday!) I got a call back from him.Nice guy. Good guy. Very clear communicator. Told me what he thought he could do for me, but set my expectations rationally. His price was fair, and his fee was fixed regardless of whether it took him one court appearance in the township Mayor's Court or if we needed to transfer (appeal) it in to the county court. As it turned out, we needed to transfer it. So Doug worked on the case for about 5-6 weeks, all for his fair fixed fee. In the end he was able to do exactly what he thought he would.I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER.Doug is a really good guy (not something you'll often hear about an attorney). He does what he says he will. He's a clear communicator, he sets expectations clearly, then he follows up and follows through.I hope I don't need him again soon, but if I do, I'm 1000% positive who I'll call.If you need a traffic attorney, and I hope you don't, Doug Riddell has my STRONGEST recommendation and endorsement.
