Can I give 6 stars?

I am so glad that I found Doug to represent me in my DWI case. I was going through a rough patch and ended up getting 3 offenses within 3 years. Facing mandatory jail time, Doug took my case and steered me through a laborious process which included attending repeat offenders courses, AA meetings, com...munity service and daily journaling, all before we went to court. Internally I questioned why I had to do all this work when we didn’t know the outcome of my case, but I followed all of his advice and the result was incredible! He negotiated my 3rd DWI down to a 1st with NO jail time. This allowed me to keep my job, my house, and take care of my family and pets. Basically I was able to continue living my life while on probation. Even during this weird year of COVID, Doug continues to go to the courthouse as much as possible so that he can talk to DAs and judges face-to-face. He knows all the players and uses his relationships to fight for you. I have to brag about Doug's paralegal, Amy, as well. They are such a great team and are always on the same page. Amy was so helpful and patient while guiding me through each step of this process. She helped me to fill out legal paperwork, explained which documents went where and when, and which ones needed hard copies or notaries, etc. She made the entire experience easy and I never felt like I was asking a stupid question. I could not be happier with the way my case was handled and the unbelievable outcome. I recommend Doug 100%. If I could give him 6 stars, I would!

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.

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.
