I had a pending DWI charge. I choose Wilder law Firm based off a referral from a family member. After meeting with Doug, he addressed all of my concerns, fears, and worries in a manner that resonated well with me. His firm was able to make it so my original Class A Misdemeanor DWI that was not eligib...le for deferred adjudication was pled down to a Class B DWI with 12-month probation deferred adjudication. As the result of the work of the Wilder Law Firm did, I will never be convicted of this DWI after finishing my probation. This has impacted my life because I have been suspended without pay from my job since my arrest, and had lost one of my professional licenses, and now I am eligible for review for my license and will receive my professional license back. I truly would recommend Doug to anyone who is in a situation that requires legal representation. He is someone you can relate to you, and truly cares about how all of this affects your life and finding the best solution for you. Doug is truly caring, knowledgeable, and has an amazing office that replies in a timely manner to help you with any questions or concerns you have along the way. I would not have made it through this difficult time in my life without the guidance, support, and help of the Wilder Law Firm, and am forever grateful that I chose this law firm as my representation.

Speak with Doug or his knowledgeable paralegal and any hesitation on the best choice needed to protect your future melts away. Having spoke with numerous 'expert' lawyers in the search for representation, it was clear from the conversation with Doug that he had built his practice on honoring relation...ships, refining his mastery over the meat grinder that is the Dallas criminal court, preparing clients by aligning his best resources, and planning your best course of action. Living in Houston, the scope of Mr. WIlder's network and mutual commitment were invaluable to ensuring the best outcome possible to the terrible situation in which I had found myself. What I thought was a life altering event was chipped away through the continual work by Doug and his team into manageable inconveniences and an unimaginable outcome!

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!

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!
