Douglas Hugh Ridley
Ridley DefenseDoug Ridley has experience with thousands of criminal cases. He has the voice and demeanor to handle matters cooperatively with the courts, along with the experience and savvy to be a tough defender when necessary. Doug’s job as a prosecutor started in the case file review department where he reviewed up to a hundred files per day, and led him all the way to lead prosecutor for the Special Victims Unit (The most serious crimes in the county). His background gives him an expert eye and unique ability to see the case the way the prosecutor sees it. Understanding how the other side thinks, Doug has developed a knack for being effective in reducing or eliminating criminal charges before they even reach a courtroom. As a former Deputy District Attorney, Doug knows how to "speak prosecutor," enabling him to effectively negotiate with the District Attorney. Doug is well known, well liked and has a reputation for defending good people who had a bad day. We work together with the courts to restore your freedom, protect your career, reduce fees, and eliminate stress during this process.

- Q. How can i prove that i was framed by my sons father's new girlfriend for a gun she put in the trunk ?
- A: Proving that you were framed is not always possible, but if it is possible than it takes serious investigation and legal work. You should engage a legal professional, in our opinion, in a serious case like this. If you can not afford an attorney, then you should ask the court to assign a public defender.
- Q. My son has been chrgd with 2 murders. Is it norm.for the lwyers office to give me a copy of the disc. that is not redac
- A: No, discovery files provided to clients are required to be redacted for privacy.
- Q. Hi can the police enter my yard if not given permition if they do do i have the right to protect my self with mace
- A: The police can enter your yard without permission if there is public access or if there is probable cause. Police brutality, however, is unacceptable and should be reported to a police supervisor. If there were significant injuries than you may want to engage a personal injury or civil rights attorney regarding the incident.
