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.

This is the right guy

I have to say, being arrested on a DWI charge can be life altering and was in fact the most terrifying experience of my young adult life. Then finding a lawyer with superior knowledge and expertise that you can truly trust is equally as difficult. I heard about Doug through a family member who ...had defeated two separate cases by the passion and commitment put forth by Mr. Wilder. I was extremely nervous and afraid of what could result from trial but Doug eased me through the entire process. The level of detail he put into my case even triggered the judge to halt the proceedings and appoint an attorney for the Officer who was testifying against me. I had never seen anything like this before and it was probably the highlight of my entire case. He was upfront, honest, and always positioned a step ahead of the prosecution and for that, I cannot appreciate him enough. I’m sure you can google quite a handful attorneys but if you’re looking for the best, get Doug Wilder on your side and get him FAST.

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.
