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.

The Best at Criminal Defense

My husband and I had a disagreement and he taunted me until I reacted. As a result, I was facing charges of domestic violence and found myself needing representation. I am very pleased that I chose Doug Wilder for my defense. He immediately advised of the necessary actions I should take that would... prove beneficial in the months ahead. When he met with the DA to discuss my case, he was transparent and advocated on my behalf. As a result, the DA rejected my case entirely and no charges were filed. If you find yourself in need of a criminal defense attorney, I highly recommend Doug and his team at The Wilder Firm.

Top DWI Attorney

Doug is the best DWI attorney in the Dallas area and I am happy to have had him represent me on my case. He was referred to me by a close friend and I could be not selected a better attorney for my case. Not only Doug is very approachable and friendly, but he is also extremely savvy when it comes to ...all the nitty-gritty details to properly provide you with the right defense. After reviewing all the evidence with me, he was very good at explaining all the details pertaining to my field sobriety test and he was extremely good at giving me peace of mind of what the outcome of my case would be based on the facts and the evidence. And just as expected by him, my case was dismissed without the need to go to trial, which I know he would've been able to win based on his expertise. If you ever need a DWI attorney to represent you, Doug Wilder is the only option.

Dismissal of false charges

Doug Wilder helped us get the charges dismissed for a dear friend that was falsely charged with domestic assault in Dallas County. We received outstanding counsel and communication throughout this process. We truly appreciate Doug for ensuring the right thing was done. He truly is the best.

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.
