In Doug We Trust!

Doug Wilder was able to get a family member out of a DWI by getting the charge significantly reduced and this person never had to go to court. Little did I know that I'd also one day desperately need his services. I was falsely accused of domestic violence while going through a divorce and an ex-...parte order was filed against me without my knowledge. Doug immediately advised me to take a polygraph test and arranged for the two of us to meet with the detective in charge of the case -- on a Sunday when most lawyers can't be bothered. Doug helped me navigate the system and helped prevent me from not only losing custody of my children but also from losing my job. Doug believes in seeking justice and will go the extra mile to fight for his clients. If you find yourself in need of a criminal defense lawyer, look no further than The Wilder Firm. He pisses excellence!

A man that knows the Law and uses it to help his clients!

Mr. Wilder handled my sons DWI case. I was confused worried and knew i needed to hire someone with experience. You see it was his second DWI, and that just made it worse! I didn't know if I made the right choice! kept asking myself will he be the one that will represent my son and avoid jail tim...e !!! When I met him in person my mind went at ease and I knew then that we had made not only the right choice, but that my son was in good hands! He was always available , dedicated , easy to talk too, compassionate , counseled my son as if he was his own. And most of all guidance, what steps to make which programs to be part of to help his case. He addressed all issues, what could go right or wrong. It was a long journey since we were dealing with a pandemic and the courts were not available. At the end it all worked out for the best fines where dropped and no jail time, instead a short probation period that we understood and accepted , the nightmare was over with!! I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Wilder, he would be the right person to handle this type of cases. I pray that my son has learned his lesson and never ever drink and drive again.

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.

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.

THE lawyer who is on your side

I ended up going through 2 attornies to handle my DWI charge in Dallas county. Douglas Wilder was my Last Option and I am so glad that I made that choice. From the time of the event, I felt that my arrest was a mistake made by a group of police officers. My first attorney whom I hired did not ...believe in my situation and instead of fighting for me, he tried to convince me to take a pre-deal. I had to let that person go and did a lot of homework searching THE BEST attorney in Dallas area. I had 5 picks, interviewed them all, and chose Douglas Wilder. I have to admit, it was a long process (1.3 Years) and during the course, I did have some bad experiences such as my questions not being answered by Doug's assistant in a timely manner. However, that person is no longer with the firm and my recent communications with the firm have been perfect. Once the trial date was set, Doug was fully into MY CASE, we met up both in and outside of the office several times to make sure all evidences were covered, ready to present and had full understanding of the event. Doug is not the type of lawyer who only handles paperworks. He is great presenter, have the knowledge and most importantly he will be on your side work with you all the way till the end. After my case was over with no charge, a couple of juries came back to the courtroom and asked for his information. He is that good. Thank you Doug. You are THE LAWYER WHOM PEOPLE WILL TALK ABOUT.
