Extremely professional and personable.

I found myself in a bad situation with seemingly no way out. I was referred to Doug and he instantly made me feel like somehow, everything was going to be okay. Before I met him face to face, he spent about 4-5 hours on the phone with me. Most of it not even directly about business. He let me ven...t about my circumstantial crisis and provided not only amazing legal advice but great life advice that I follow to this day. This wasn't my first time in trouble with the law for drug possession and things were not looking good for my case but he managed to dramatically reduce my charges and set me up on a road to recovery. Due to his diligent legal work and personal level of care he shows his clients, I have been given an opportunity to finally improve the quality of my life. Thanks, Doug!

The Best in Dallas!

I found Doug, Rebecca, and Judy through Avvo. To say that they are life-savers would be a gross understatement. My husband had outstanding cash-only warrants for Dallas County totaling $6000.00 and every attorney I spoke to said that they couldn't help us and that we were basically screwed. I called ...Doug's office and spoke to Rebecca and my hope was renewed! Rebecca is AMAZING!!! She took all of our information and immediately set up an appointment to meet with Doug. Doug was confident and extremely knowledgeable. He said we were facing one of the worst courts in the county but that he would do everything in his power to help us. My husband was facing 2 DWI 2nds and an assault charge. His most recent DWI was with a BAC of .31! Doug was able to get the judge to reinstate his bonds without us having to pay the cash warrants. Rebecca always knew exactly what was going on every time I called (which was a ton because I was a nervous wreck :) ). She really makes you feel like you are their only client! Doug and Rebecca got my husband into the programs that helped him clearly see the mistakes he had made and when his court date came up this month, he had already completed all of the certifications that are required as part of probation. Doug was able to get the assault dropped, the old DWI closed as time passed and he got 20 months probation on the one with a .31 and only has to have the interlock for 9 months! Doug kept my husband out of jail, kept him from getting a felony DWI and saved our lives! My husband made some really poor choices years ago and needed help. Doug was compassionate, he never stopped fighting for us and got my husband the help he needed. So, if you are looking for an attorney in Dallas for a DWI, stop and call Doug's office. Rebecca or Judy will answer the phone and you will immediately see what I am talking about! They are the best in the business and you will be glad you called.

Great attorney!!

I found Doug, Rebecca and Judy to be so amazing to work with at such a difficult time in my life. They genuinely are concerned about my situation and having me become a better person through the choices I have made. They put me in contact with people that can help get me on the path of sobriety. They... have all treated me like family and not the typical client. I have had other attorneys in the past that once they were paid off then they rushed you off their agenda. That WAS NOT the case with this firm!!! They are representing me to the very best of their ability and I couldn't be more appreciative of the efforts they are providing for my case. They have great communication and terrific technology on keeping me abreast to my status. Thanks Doug, Rebecca and Judy!! I can't thank you enough for the help you have provided me on your legal services.

Experience counts!

I was devastated when I was arrested for a DWI and took the search for a defense attorney very seriously. I did hours of research on Dallas DWI attorneys before interviewing about a dozen in person. After narrowing to just four, one attorney asked who else was in the mix- when I mentioned Doug's name..., this attorney said "well I'll be honest, Doug wins cases that I never thought were possible and if I were in your boat I'd pick him". I am sure glad I did. As a very career focused and driven person, I was sure that this event would ruin my chances at getting a highly competitive job or getting into a top grad program. I explained to him my situation, and my concerns and how any conviction for a DWI was just not in the cards for me. He reviewed my case and gave it to me straight the whole time which I greatly appreciated. Given the particulars associated with my arrest, as well as other medical factors, we came up with a plan to try and fight the charge. He warned me that this could take months or years, but that he truly believed this would lead to the best outcome. Over the nearly 2.5 years it took, I rarely felt like I wasn't in good hands. High office turnover made me nervous, the volume of posts to the electronic case management system was at times overwhelming, but Judy (his longtime paralegal) and Doug never made me feel like a random name on a client list. In the end, Doug worked his skill and his magic, and I plead to obstruction of a roadway. I have never been so grateful to have put my future in the hands of someone who could get the job done. Thank you Doug.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I was arrested last year on a DWI in carrollton Dallas county,was found sleeping in the back of the car. I failed all the sobriety tests and my alcohol content came back a .21. I hired Doug Wilder and his team and he adviced we decline the plea bargain since it was alittle harsh so we went ahead wit...h the trial option. At the trial Doug was excellent and the prosecution could not prove beyond doubt if i was driving..The verdict..NOT GUILTY..The team has been so supportive especially Ms Rebbecca Burns who was in constant communication through all stages..I highly recommend the wilder firm to anybody who might be going through similar predicaments.. Thank for giving me my life back
