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.

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."
