From the first consultation, Attorney Wilder was incredibly professional and understanding. She took the time to listen to our concerns and explained the legal process in a way that was easy to understand. Her deep knowledge of the law and experience in criminal defense were evident throughout the ...process. We would highly recommend Attorney Wilder to anyone who needs a skilled and compassionate defense lawyer.

Exceptional Lawyer!

I highly recommend Attorney Kim Wilder. She was my son's lawyer and did an exceptional job in defending his case which ended up being dismissed. She is caring and compassionate, she cares about her clients. She is responsive in getting back to you once you reach out to her. I am glad we found a g...ood lawyer like Kim when we needed legal representation. Thank you for all you do!

Competent & Compassionate Service

I came to Mrs. Wilder with a retail negligence case I felt strongly about but which I worried would amount to nothing more than a he said/she said fight with a National corporation with massive backing. I actually entered the office thinking she would politely say it was a waste of time and there was... nothing to pursue. How happy I was to be wrong! Mrs. Wilder was patient, attentive, and treated me and my family with dignity and respect regarding the accident and our concerns. While we were in front of her, we were her main concern and getting resolution for our pain and suffering and ensuring the health of others through our case was most important to her. The litigation was a lengthy process but Mrs. Wilder made sure to keep me updated. Even if she was not available when I called, she always followed up - even if it was after hours. Her care and concern went beyond just my legal fight but my personal well-being as well in the wake of the incident and the required medical follow-up. What’s more, the length of the case matched the fight Mrs. Wilder put up for me. She wanted to ensure that I received what I asked for in acknowledgment of the company’s failures. She went beyond that and my family and I are so grateful. If you want an attentive and competent attorney who genuinely cares about the fights her clients take on AND is fair/affordable, look no further because you can do no better

Augusta's Brightest Star

My family just had the tremendous privilege of having Kimberly Wilder as our attorney to defend the one we care about most. During our initial visit, Atty. Wilder, after reviewing our situation, briefed us where we stand and what direction we should proceed. In an instant, I strongly felt that we are... in great hands and envisioned that she will prepare the case in a manner that is important to produce a good outcome. Atty. Wilder is a compassionate and an assertive lawyer who came to court well prepared, very articulate, and so impressive, and that in the end, helped us get an outcome we are so pleased about. To anyone searching for legal representation that is honest, competent and will keep your best interest at front and center, I highly recommend Atty. Kimberly Wilder!

"Attorney Wilder is a warrior. As her former colleague, I have witnessed how hard she fights for her clients. She always conducts a thorough investigation of all her cases leaving no stone unturned. She is not intimidated by prosecutors, judges or opposing counsel. As a result, her clients will never be bullied by anyone into accepting a less favorable outcome. I’ve watched Attorney Wilder several times in court. A passionate advocate, her clients feel empowered whenever she’s standing by their side. With her strong advocacy skills, Attorney Wilder has won countless pretrial motions, hearings and jury trials for her clients. She has also earned the respect of all the judges and lawyers in the Augusta area. Her reputation proceeds her so opposing counsel knows they are in for a fight if Attorney Wilder is in the case. Whenever someone asks me if I know a good lawyer in the Augusta area I always recommend Attorney Wilder and her firm. Which is why I 100% endorse Attorney Wilder."
