My name is Amy and I am a Registered Nurse in Texas. I am the first one to admit I am bad about writing reviews. I intend to do it more often, but get so busy and then forget. However, there was no way I could not give my feedback in regards to Doug Wilder! I had a situation last year that had me pos...sibly facing a DUI second. As a nurse, I was petrified. This was scary to begin with and could have had monumental consequences for my career. There were some extenuating circumstances but I didn't think it would make a bit of difference. I was referred to Doug Wilder and from day one I was very happy with his professionalism and responsiveness to me. He was very honest. I was not in a good situation. However he worked incredibly hard for me and because of his reputation in the courts, he was able to work a miracle for me. I know miracles are not always possible, but I have no doubt in this situation, had I gone with ANYONE else, I'd be facing a DUI second. My charges were dropped to an obstruction charge which saved my career and saved me a ton of money. I didn't "get off". I had consequences, but I was happy to take those considering the alternative. When Doug met with me, he saw me as a person and not just a client. He was honest, direct and compassionate. He has since followed up without prompting to ensure that my probation process went smoothly. Picking an attorney is scary and you can be going in blind, but I felt compelled to let others know that Doug Wilder can be trusted with your future. He is forever on my Christmas card list. Amy in Texas.

I hired Doug a few years ago after I read reviews that he was the best in Dallas for DWI cases. From the beginning to the end of the process Doug and his team were pinpoint on their decision making and guidance. Communication was clear and I know from time to time I asked a lot of questions, but he w...as always there to help : ) I followed his direction and the outcome blew my mind. There are other lawyers in DFW who can represent you in a DWI case, but if you want the best you need to call Doug! I'm not going to go into great detail about my case, but I will say when I thought there wasn't hope he found something and that attention to detail got me a very favorable outcome. There was an article written about him years ago that shows him with boxing gloves around his neck implying that he fights for his clients. It's sooooo true! I'm sure a lot of people read reviews and try to hire the cheapest lawyer with good reviews. Don't do it. If you want the best to the represent you call Doug. He is a Prize Fighter who will have your back and get you the best possible outcome. Thank you Doug for representing me and if you ever need anything I will gladly help!

I was arrested last year on a DWI in carrollton Dallas county,was found sleeping in the back of the car. I failed all the sobriety tests and my alcohol content came back a .21. I hired Doug Wilder and his team and he adviced we decline the plea bargain since it was alittle harsh so we went ahead wit...h the trial option. At the trial Doug was excellent and the prosecution could not prove beyond doubt if i was driving..The verdict..NOT GUILTY..The team has been so supportive especially Ms Rebbecca Burns who was in constant communication through all stages..I highly recommend the wilder firm to anybody who might be going through similar predicaments.. Thank for giving me my life back

I first contacted Dougs' office after I found out I had a warrant for probation violation. I was in transition back to Dallas county from Denton when I called to see about what I needed to do to end probation. I had failed an interlock test one morning on the way to work and school. I had used my wif...e's mouthwash since I was out, it was the Walmart brand so I didn't think about the alcohol. It had failed me with a .12! I didn't know how bad I failed, but I knew it would take more time for it to clear than we had. So I went ahead and let my wife drive, causing me to be automatically guilty. I decided to research decent lawyers here on Avvo after having an absolutely terrible experience with the Stanley law firm during my initial DWI. When I first called, I talked to Rebecca. What nailed me was that she seemed genuinely concerned about what happened to me. My first of many lawyers with the same firm the last time around never really listened. So I went ahead and hired them that day. Doug was late the first appointment, but I had been notified already the night before by Rebecca. Had had two major cases that morning so it wasn't a big deal to me. He was very nice, a little on the goofy side, very straightforward, and honest. Never talked down to me or like I was ignorant, like I saw a lot of attorneys do their clients at the courthouse. He also didn't take any flack from the probation office either, even fed it right back. That worries me at first, but I learned that Doug just isn't an attorney to be messed with! He told me that he would more than likely be able to get everything dropped. He immediately had the warrant gone thanks to a personal recognizance bond. Which meant I didn't have to pay any money, but could get in serious trouble for not showing to court! You'd have to be insane not to show to court! I never had to wait long for Doug to show after that day, waiting for probation to do their job was another story though! I went and had my school counselor that I had signed up for classes with that morning, write me a signed statement about how I was not intoxicated. This just wasn't enough to sway the probation officer. So Rebecca initially recommended I take a repeat victim impact panel and sign up for intensive outpatient therapy with her friend Holly Hunter. I was stubborn and didn't don't immediately because I felt like I was admitting guilt. Doug firmly re-recommended Rebecca had prior. So I finally went to the panel, turned out to be a lot more informative than my first in Denton. I also signed up with Holly Hunter. I also learned a lot from that experience as well! She was a great and interesting person that definitely left a mark on me. She too, has quite the reputation in the North Texas legal system. Once I had completed everything, I brought all my paperwork in. Doug got me right in at 9 and three minutes later, everything was dropped!!!! There was always good lines of communication between Doug, Rebecca, and I. Rebecca was always very quick to answer any question I had through the team website and by text. Even after hours she would respond asap! She loaded all of my documents into the system for me so Doug would have them on court day. So very pleased that I found them when I did. They truly went above and beyond my expectations of an attorney's office. They helped me get this giant heap of stress off of my back! If you're looking for a great attorney and legal team, look no further!!!
