Highest Recommendation!

Mr. Wilder comes with the highest recommendation. He served as co-counsel on my husband's case. He is the right combination of legal knowledge, compassion, support, coach, cheerleader, advocate, realist and drill team sergeant, but his end goal is ALWAYS wanting a positive, fair and healthy outcome f...or his clients. He has a bevy of tools and support contacts that help his clients on their road to sobriety, success and health long after the actual court case is over.

Fantastic Job

Doug did a fantastic job on my case. He was always available and easy to reach for a conversation. He kept me in the loop so that I always knew what was going on, even contacting me after hours on occasion. 10/10 would recommend Doug - he definitely goes above and beyond for his clients.

Strong Lawyer Who Will Fight for You

Thankful we were referred to the Wilder Firm to handle our case. Even with the delays brought on by COVID-19 Doug and his staff helped navigate a hard to understand system. Doug and Amy took great care to make sure we understood every step of the process. Demonstrated professionalism, along with ...compassion, and were tops in responsiveness. They are knowledgeable in discussing the details, and candid on possible courses of action. Doug will definitely fight for you. That passion is why I have. already referred a friend to them.

First Time

Doug Wilder and the Wilder Firm are amazing. They worked diligently for 4 months on my case. Always staying in contact with me along the way. But the best most amazing part of this experience with Mr. Wilder is the compassion, understanding and non-judgmental approach to his clients. I was absolute...ly guilty on my conviction and his approach was one that made me feel like it was JUST bad judgement on my part a one time mistake. He and his staff always made certain I was always "In the Know". I was very nervous heading into court, but Mr. Wilder had a very calming and understanding approach to everything. But don't misconstrue his kindness to his clients... at the end of the day, my case was settled with him going in with confidence and commanded the court room. Convincing the judge to reduce all charges, no fine, just court cost and basically one day of incarceration! UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you Mr. Wilder for all that you did for me! Robin D.

Dismissed - DWI/ Possession

Over the course of another 8 - 9 months, he worked with me on a payment plan and attended all court dates diligently. Late in September, while I was prepping for work, 3 Tactical Dallas Sheriffs knocked on my door and stated they had a warrant for my arrest. According to them, I hadn't been to court ...and my bond was revoked as a result. My whole world came apart as I was fingerprinted and put through the system again. I called Doug from inside and as soon as he got word he was at the jail with proof of his attendance in court. The jail held me for another 7 hours after which they released me on a reinstated bond. When asked why this happened, being falsely imprisoned, their response was that mistakes happen and that I shouldn't have been arrested the first time. The next day, I was terminated from my job for failure to show or call. I was at an all time low but Doug kept me encouraged by vowing to do everything he could to get my case resolved as quick as possible so I could get back to work. We met again mid November at the scene of the arrest and after reviewing the dash cam footage, concluded the traffic stop that led to the arrest wasn't valid. Two weeks later, I was in court with Doug as we filed a Motion to Suppress the Traffic stop. The police officer testified that he did witness a traffic infraction, even though the dash cam showed he didn't. As Doug cross examined him I watched in marvel as he turned into a courtroom ninja. He was extremely detailed in his questioning and caught inconsistencies immediately. His approach to court procedures was spectacular to watch. Needless to say, the very next week the judge granted the Motion to Suppress thereby forcing the prosecution to Dismiss both charges. I wept when I got the news...while I understand this won't be everyone's outcome, it was mine. These two cases had haunted me. They had cost me sleep, time, flexibility and the respect of my peers. Because of Doug I stand free and clear today with joy of it being over and done with. It was certainly a learning experience, and maybe that's why it's set up the way it its. My behavior, my movements, my state of being has drastically changed since that night...but I don't think I would have achieved such growth without a lawyer like Doug in my corner. He's the best if you ever find yourself in such a predicament. It won't be easy...but he'll have your back through it all and when in court, he'll turn into the very ninja you need him to be.
