First off, I wish that I had looked to hire Doug earlier in my DWI case, but at the time settled with a court appointed. Needless to say, I should have picked quality over quantity. When I received a probation violation, I went straight to Avvo.com and after hours of research, narrowed my choice to T...he Wilder Firm. From the first time stepping foot in the office and dealing with his helpful staff (thank you again Ashley!) until we shook hands after the court case had been settled, everything was smooth sailing. Communication was very thorough the whole time when it came to what I needed to get done and when I needed to show up in court after he got the case postponed a couple times, helping me complete my conditions of probation in the mean time. He was honest about my need to enroll in alcohol classes and what to do to stay on the right track to ensure that this situation does not happen again. I was not nervous at all and knew it was because I had a great man working for me. In the end, my violation of probation case was dismissed and he even helped persuade the judge who seem to have a bone to pick with me to remove the breathalyzer from my car which in turn helped get me back on track to saving money and continuing on with my life again. He is very down-to-earth, personable, and will work hard to get you results. I highly recommend The Wilder Firm to anyone who is facing DWI/DUI trouble or any other case that is a result of that. Thank you for helping put this past me and allowing me to move on with my life!

Doug Wilder has been truly outstanding in his defense efforts in my case. His knowledge of the law and court room procedures is extensive and he was always honest with his advice. He always answered any questions that I had and explained the course of action he would take thoroughly, always ensuring ...me that although the circumstances were not the best that he would do everything humanly (and legally of course) possible to defend me in court. He was straightforward and never gave me false hope. Even if there was a difference of opinions he would gladly listen and give feedback. Setting up appointments with him was easy and he was always able to see me and talk to me in person when I needed it. During the entire time that it took for my case to be dismissed I was kept in the loop as to what was happening and Doug was there every step of the way. What I liked best was that Doug will respect you and take care of you and lay out his expectation that you, the client, have to do your part as well. Listen to his advice and stay out of trouble.

Doug is a lifesaver. He gave my husband back to me and our lives back. Although there were no injuries involved, DWI is still, and always is a serious deal. All the tears and sleepless nights weighed heavily on me, and our relationship. When the judge said that normally they would have "strung him ...up by his heels", my heart skipped a beat. Doug's experience & knowledge allowed him to broker a plea that was in our best interest, and our outcome was much better than expected. Had I not been married, I would have kissed him! He did a wonderful job, and now our hearts can rest and our emotions return to normal. I would have to say that it's really important to find a competent, capable and compassionate attorney to plead your case, and Doug is that man. Thanks for a great job, Doug! Freda.

Douglas Wilder was a God-send, prayers answered. I'd reviewed and spoken with several attorneys before hiring Doug. I retained him because of his personable, calm, professional and knowledgeable demeanor. He allayed my fears and gave me hope. I was facing 2 separate charges on DWI and when we revie...wed the video evidence and police reports I was more than just concerned, I was panicked! I said, "Doug man, this looks really bad. I'm scared". He replied "yeah (in other words, not real good!), but I'll work you through this and we'll get through it with the best possible outcome (i.e., the least possible collateral damage)". And he did. We discussed the options in detail, and with that, he allowed me to make an informed, educated decision that I had confidence in. It's amazing what that security can do to boost your confidence and reduce stress. When the court date came, he was a miracle worker. At one point early on he'd asked me what I wanted to see out of this and I replied, "if I had only one wish - no jail time". Well, with his knowledge and experience before the bench, he was able not only to get one charge completely dismissed, but probation for the other! He completely exceeded my expectations. I cannot tell you how elated I was - my wife actually cried on the way home. Miracles CAN happen with the right guy on your side. That's why I'd recommend Doug for anyone else in my situation. The peace of mind that comes with that experience is irreplaceable. Thanks, Doug! JD

I was very thankful we chose Doug to handle my case for a DUI. He was very knowledgeable, experienced, and even knew the Judge who handled my case. He has an extraordinarily efficient support team in Judy and Ashley who will answer every question you may have, and will walk you through the entire pr...ocess. I highly recommend Doug Wilder.
