Excellent Counsel, Representation and Delivery
Speak with Doug or his knowledgeable paralegal and any hesitation on the best choice needed to protect your future melts away.

"I have worked with Doug on several cases and I can attest to the fact he is dedicated to helping people charged with DWI get the best possible outcome. Very few defense attorneys have the experience and knowledge in the field that Doug has acquired. If I was arrested for DWI in Texas, Doug would be my first call."
"Doug is one of the BEST DWI lawyers in North Texas. He stays current with all new law and attends the best seminars. I have known Doug for over 20 years and he is a real fighter for your case. If NOT GUILTY is what you are looking for, Doug is definitely a lawyer that you should interview and discuss your case. He is certainly worth his price. I highly recommend him to defend your DWI."
"I respect Doug greatly. He is an energetic and aggressive criminal defense lawyer who cares about his clients. Not only does he work hard to prepare himself to do the best job he can for his clients. He also teaches other lawyers how to defend cases and I had the privilege of attending one of his lectures and I learned a lot. Anyone who hires him is in super good hands. This man will not back down and will fight hard for you."
"Doug is a well respected attorney in our community and is well known for his expertise. I have personally seen him working on cases and achieving positive outcomes. You won't find a better DWI/DUI attorney in the metroplex."
"I endorse this lawyer. I don't know of anyone who can cross examine a cop better, nor persuade a jury better. And he is just an all-around good guy."
"Doug is incredibly experienced in handling Texas DWIs in counties all around the DFW Metroplex. His innovative trial strategies and science-based approach to challenging evidence makes him a star lawyer in Texas. I would highly recommend Doug to anyone who needs the very best in a Texas trial lawyer."
"Mr. Wilder is one of the most exemplary and extraordinary attorneys that I have encountered in 24 years of practice. Despite being a judge, magistrate, prosecutor, and private attorney for nearly two and a half decades, I continue to learn valuable information from his posts every day. I would highly recommend."
"Doug Wilder is an incredibly skilled and trained attorney. Doug takes the time to understand the science behind a DWI allegation. With this knowledge and expertise Doug has become a force in and out of the courtroom. Doug is widely respected across the country for his defense skill. I highly recommend Doug."
"I highly recommend Douglas Wilder if you or a family member are in need of a hard-working trustworthy attorney."
"Doug Wilder is a fantastic DWI trial lawyer and personal friend of mine. I met Doug while attending the top national DWI seminars related to the National College for DWI Defense. Doug is constantly striving to be DFW's top DWI trial attorney. Doug is very passionate about his clients and pours himself into his practice. We share ideas and trial strategies on a regular basis and Doug has helped me to become a better trial lawyer. Doug has taken a national lead in promoting and teaching better methods for lawyers as they cross examine police officer witnesses. Doug's commitment to our cause is matched by his commitment to his family and shown through his character. I only endorse trial lawyers that I would trust with my own case or that of my immediate family. I am the DWI Dude from Texas and I would trust Doug Wilder and bring him on board to represent my family or myself if I am ever charged with a DWI or other criminal matter. Doug is one of the DWI Dude's "Go To Guys"! Jamie Balagia"
"I originally met Doug when he was a speaker at a conference I attended. Since that time we have worked on numerous matters together. His presentation skills are superb and he is a great communicator. This is very important to your case, especially when you are going to trial. If you are looking for a top trial attorney in the DFW area, look no further, Doug is your guy. You will be in great hands."
"I met Doug at a DUI seminar in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He is a terrific and dedicated DUI lawyer. He is a compelling and effective advocate and I would recommend him for anyone charged with a DUI in Texas."
"I worked with Doug at a communications seminar. This man has a tremendous amount of courage and is a true warrior for the people. He is nationally known for his work in defending DWI accused people. I highly recommend him."
"I had to opportunity to work with Douglas at a seminar on communication skills. Everyone in attendance at that seminar learned a great deal from Douglas. He is a master at making complicated topics simple and at making justice for his clients compelling. He has had over 400 jury trials and it shows. I give Douglas the highest endorsement as a lawyer and as a human being who cares about his clients."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. One of the best DWI lawyers in the Dallas area. Knows the law and respected by peers."
