Definitely the BEST

A year and a half ago, I was arrested for DWI, my first. My career does not allow a DWI. I was facing losing my career and my home. I prayed for help. I was truly blessed when God brought Douglas Wilder into my life. He gave me a sense of calm with his direct, realistic advice. He gave me reassurance... that he would take care of me. Doug worked VERY hard for me. He makes you feel that you are really important to him. Thanks to Doug, my charges were reduced to Obstruction of a Thoroughfare. I got deferred adjudication, community service and probation. I will be forever grateful to Doug for giving me back a future. Thank you, Doug , and may God bless you!

DFW's best DWI defense lawyer

Doug Wilder may be one of the best DWI defense lawyer in the DFW area. I have never committed a serious offense until I was charged with a DWI. I had no idea what to expect or where to begin to fight it. As I was going through the process of choosing a lawyer, out of the many I met with, Doug was the... most down to earth and sincere lawyer I met. I could tell right away, that he truly cared about my future and was willing to go the extra mile to ensure that I would not get convicted. All the cards were stacked against me to get convicted because I made the mistake of taking the breathalyzer test and giving the prosecutors solid evidence to use against me. However, thank's to Doug's due diligence and his amazing support staff, Doug was able to reduce my charge. I know that my life would not be the same without his help and I highly recommend Doug to anyone that is trying to fight their DWI.

Mr. Wilder is the best

Douglas wilder is the best in Texas. He is awesome lawyer. I can say I felt more like family than a client. After my lawyer quit on me because of my attitude towards the guilty plea he was presenting. Doug came to my rescue. He is persistent and he knows the law. He works well with the people in the... justice system getting you in and out of court house. I believe there isn’t a case he can’t handle and he will go above and beyond for you. If I ever need help again I would not hesitate to call He’s my right hand Man and Please trust in my experience with Mr. Wilder I wouldn’t trade him for the world . Thanks again Doug !!!!

A Lawyer for the busy Professionals

As a very busy career oriented professional I was very concerned about the impact my 1st and ONLY DWI would have on my schedule, finances and of course public record. After interviewing 5 attorneys in DFW I met Doug. Doug was very honest and up-front about the process, cost and expectations relative ...to the DWI. While the case was open for just under 2 years Doug was able to guide me and explain why the process was lengthy and it's impact on my case. My specific case was difficult for Doug because of my self incriminating video from the night of the incident. Because of the sensitivity of the evidence my case was all but lost and expected to go through an extrenuous probation/fine scenario. I was determined to stay positive and patient during the process. Doug's support staff were extremely helpful in setting the right expectation during the almost 2 yrs. Recently, Doug was able to get a plea for obstruction of a passageway with no supervised probation and deferred for 1 year with a $750 fine to the courts. You get what you pay for! Spare no expense on your attorney when you are up against your DWI. I am extremely grateful to Doug and his staff as my life with a DWI is more bearable when you don't have to report to probation and you get through the charges of a DWI in Texas for under $4K. I hear of first offenders spending upwards of $10-12K. Look no further. Doug is the best in DFW!

Not guilty

When searching for an attorney after being arrested for DWI charges, Doug was the obvious choice for getting the job done. As his website notes, he is highly qualified to handle these cases and is an expert at what he does. As a result, I was found not guilty. His presentation in court was so impress...ive that the bailiff (someone who sees attorneys all day long in court) asked for his business card afterwards. He and his staff were a pleasure to work with through such a stressful situation. His straight forwardness regarding how he viewed the case was refreshing and very helpful. I would highly recommend him and his firm.
