Extremely open and involved

Lucas was extremely helpful through the whole process and kept me informed at all times. Not the extra charge for a phone call type of lawyer. He truly seemed to care about helping me out and didn’t just see me as another client.

Honest & Reliable

Lucas Wilder is reliable, honest, works around the clock, family oriented and open minded. When I contacted Lucas Wilder regarding my case, I left a message and he called me back promptly, it wasn't a secretary or office staff it was Mr. Wilder personally and we got started on my case right away. ... Lucas Wilder was completely honest about possible outcomes of my case and gave me all of my options. Mr. Wilder didn't require a retainer fee and truly is an attorney that requires no payment unless he helps you win your case, so I knew he was an honest attorney that's truly working for me. When I first contacted Mr. Wilder and he called me back right away he was actually on a camping trip with his family. He's a dedicated father who's involved with his children and their activities, so therfore, Mr. Wilder is able to relate to a case that involves family or children. My case involved pregnancy discrimination, Mr. Wilder was able to understand and relate because he and his wife had recently had a baby and couldn't imagine his wife experiencing something that I had. Mr. Wilder was understanding and sympathetic to the fact that bringing a baby into the world is a big deal and employers should respect and not discriminate against those women and allow them time off to recover and care for the baby. Mr. Wilder is not a 9am - 5pm attorney, he worked around the clock on my behalf researching for my case. He also used all means of communication to stay in contact with me. I would receive a text or email after 5pm from Mr. Wilder occasionally, which he would simply ask me a question or tell me to check my email. Mr. Wilder was also very open minded, asking me what my thoughts are and how I felt about certain things. He also asked me for my suggestions and would include my suggestions or response into correspondence to the company I was pursuing. I really liked that because I felt like I was also helping my case and I knew exactly what was being said to the company. I really felt that Mr. Wilder cared about the outcome of my case and was truly on my side. It did take quite some time for my case to wrap up, but Mr. Wilder prepared me for that in the very beginning, so it was expected. We worked together on the case and got a great outcome. I would reccommed Lucas Wilder to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, family oriented, work around the clock and open minded attorney.

Posted by John | February 22, 2012 | Wrongful Termination

A Lawyer with Integrity

I worked with Lucas on a wrongful termination case. The first time I met with Lucas in his office he listened, asked questions to get all the information needed and explained the process to me up front. From then on he informed me of what was going on, responded to appropriate parties as needed with... an email to me about the status and any letters that were sent. He kept my confidence up throughout the process and on the day of the hearing I was nervous but you could tell he was confident about everything and knew he was going to get the results I wanted and he did. I would recommend Lucas to anyone who would want an attorney that makes you feel that he does care and you are not just a number to him. He does care about you and the situation you are in and is up front with you on what will occur and the probability of a good outcome. We need more attorney's like Lucas. John

Very Satisfied Client

We would highly recommend Lucas Wilder for all our family and friends in need of any legal situation they may have. We had a previous lawyer on our case for 4 years and was getting nothing done. We hired Lucas Wilder and within a year he had our case solved and won. He was the most professional a...nd caring lawyer we has ever dealt with. He has a job to do and he will get it done. He cared about us and worked on our case as if he was in our shoes and made sure we got what we deserved. To find a lawyer that really cared about us was very important and very satisfying.
