David Redding

Dave Redding brings a clear-eyed, practical approach to every client engagement. Before a client decides to retain TLG Law, Dave ensures they understand four critical things: whether the firm can help with their problem, the expected duration of litigation, its probable cost, and the likely outcome based on the firm's experience.

At TLG Law, careful forecasting of duration, cost, and outcome is not a courtesy — it is a prerequisite to sound client decision-making.

Dave graduated from Boston College and Wake Forest University School of Law, beginning his legal career in Winston-Salem and Asheville, North Carolina before settling in Charlotte in 1999. Although he began as a criminal defense attorney, he quickly moved toward complex civil litigation. Over the last thirty years, Dave has tried many dozens of jury trials and argued numerous cases before the North Carolina Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of North Carolina on complex issues, including but not limited to indemnification, liability limitation, and the Uniform Commercial Code.

In 2007, Dave founded TLG Law as a solo practice. Since then, the firm has grown steadily alongside Charlotte's remarkable expansion, providing Dave with wide-ranging opportunities to help clients navigate all manner of legal disputes.

Prior to attending law school, Dave served in the United States Army as an Infantry and Special Forces officer. He is a veteran of Operation Desert Storm and a former member of the board of directors of Operation Enduring Warrior, a veteran-founded nonprofit that honors, empowers, and rehabilitates the nation's wounded military and law enforcement veterans.

Dave is the co-founder and a current board member of F3, a nonprofit dedicated to the invigoration of male community-leadership through fitness, fellowship, and faith. What began in Charlotte in 2011 has grown to more than 50,000 members across 49 states and 11 countries. Dave is also the founder of The Collision Learner, a blog focused upon wisdom gained through failure, adversity, and argument.

Dave is also the author of Freed To Lead: The Unshackling of the Modern Day Warrior, and of QSource: The F3 Manual of Virtuous Leadership.
