Mr. Wilder Saved My Reputation | From A Felony To A Misdemeanor | Best Criminal Defense Lawyer In Dayton

I was facing a Felony and a Violent Misdemeanor charge that came with significant Jail time, and also came with permanent damage to my reputation and record with charges that couldn't be removed. Mr. Wilder was able to review the discovery, assess the situation and facts of the case and helped me... navigate the entire process as we moved to have these charges dismissed in place of pleading to a minor misdemeanor that can be expunged at a later time. I retained Mr. Wilder immediately because I understood the necessity in having someone on my side who understood the law, knew the process and was able to help walk me through every step and gave me a realistic understanding of what I was facing and what we should do. Our attorney went above and beyond for not only me but my family who came to him with many questions as we navigated this process. We are all beyond grateful for everything Lucas Wilder did to save me from a Felony Criminal record and significant Jail time. If you or someone you care for ever need a criminal defense attorney who will work and fight for you, consider retaining the best criminal defense attorney in Dayton Lucas Wilder.

Lucas Wayne wilder review from recent client !

I’m here to give Lucas a great review I am a previous client of his and the fact that I’m able to make this review says it all ! He knows how to properly break down all the points in a discovery to really make sure all corners that can be re looked at are looked at. Without getting to specific with L...ucas I was able to stay home and take care of my son and family from a possible multiple year gun and robbery charge to say the least . Now every case is different but I can 100% say he will Give you a fair understanding of what’s happening and will do his absolute best to to get the results you’re looking for and his prices are fair as well !

Employment Termination Consultation

I was terminated from my current employer and was given three days to sign a separation agreement. I contacted Lucas Wilder by email on the second day of my three day window. He replied to me the same day and reviewed my agreement. He answered all my questions within a 24 hour period.

An Attorney You Can Trust

Words cannot express the happiness and gratitude I felt from using Mr. Wilder's legal representation in a wrongful termination case against my former employer . First and most importantly, Lucas Wayne Wilder, Esq., is an attorney you can trust. He was a compassionate attorney and a man of his word. H...e listened and felt every word I said. There were no hidden costs in regards to his services. He was like a hungry tiger when it came to fighting for my case. You are not your attorney's only case, but I felt like I was from the attention I received and the knowledge of my case he had retained. I was so impressed by the intricate details he remember about my case. It was as if he actually lived what I went through with my employer. I appreciated his humbleness. He was willing to listen to my views and concerns and considered them. We came out on top because this attorney is very knowledgeable about the law. We settled out of court and I came out a rich and very satisfied man.
