My Blessing!

Mr. Wilder was very professional! He made sure I understood every angle of my case. He kept me up to date with the process going on behind the scenes, and still managed to be on top of my case-despite it being a pandemic. Will definitely recommend him to anyone in a tough situation. Not only is he a ...kick butt lawyer, he was my personal therapist and beat my case!

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.

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.

Outstanding Work from Doug Wilder and his Team

Doug will do everything in his power to get you the best possible outcome. Upon being released on bond after a 1st DWI offense, I contacted the Wilder firm. His paralegals were so helpful and told me exactly what to do during this time. Doug told me which steps to take and how everything would roll o...ut if I went with the Wilder firm. After a few consultations from other firms, I decided to go with Doug. I can't tell you how impressed I was with their proactive steps. They'll set you up with everything you need. After a discovery period, Doug will consult with you and show you what options you have and advise you on the best possible outcome given the situation. There are so many factors that go into these decisions and Doug's expertise in this area is top notch. He knows the game, he was a prosecutor, he knows who the judges and prosecutors are, he knows how certain days and volume of cases through the court will affect yours - he understands how courts operate. In my case, I was extremely happy with the outcome - I had a very high bac at the time of the incident and there wasn't much room to question evidence if we went to trial so we decided to take a plea deal. Doug was able a negotiate a fabulous plea bargain given the circumstances. If your case has a better chance in trial, Doug will go, and I'd trust him and his team! What happened next is what really impressed me about the Wilder Firm. They will put together a plan for you to be on top of everything for probation. They have classes ready for you to take, and show you what you need. This was so helpful. By the time I had to start probation I had almost everything required of this done. Not to mention when your case in in court either for trial or a plea, this looks overwhelming good to the court. The proactive steps the firm takes for you are incredible. The paralegals are always available and Doug himself is too. He takes the reputation of the firm seriously and offers great service to his clients. I would hire the Wilder Firm again in a heartbeat. If you are considering an attorney, please call them and set up a meeting with Doug. If you want to fight your charge please contact the Wilder Firm. Lastly, Doug and the firm do care about you and their clients. If this DUI is something in your life that is a wake up call, they are there to help and they have a tremendous network of associates to get you help. You want to show the court who you really are and the Wilder Firm is there to do that. I highly recommend the Wilder Firm to you.
