Recommend 100%

I would recommend Doug for any circumstance or charge your against. I had lost all hope, yet Doug went above and beyond to get the best deal possible. I rely fully on his counsel. He and his team work for you and have your best interest throughout the case. I am very thankful for what they have done.... Thank you!

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.

Best Lawyer in the DFW

When your lawyer tells the judge he is here to seek justice, and the judge acknowledges him. You have the right guy. I was charged with a DUI in Denton County and the deal I received was called phenomenal by the judge. Don't hesitate hire Doug Wilder

Great Outcome!

I called Doug on a Sunday morning after learning that our son had encountered a potential "legal issue". Doug personally called us back within 10 minutes and immediately jumped into action. Doug ultimately negotiated a favorable resolution with the local authorities which kept our son's record comp...letely clean. The process took about 5 weeks and Doug did a great job of keeping us informed throughout the process. We prayed for the positive outcome that Doug was ultimately able to produce for our son. I highly recommend The Wilder Firm to anyone that needs a lawyer that truly cares and will work hard to achieve the best possible outcome!

Wouldn’t recommend - get someone else who is competent

I don’t think he is a bad lawyer, but I wouldn’t recommend him. He didn’t have really good relationships/rapport with the judges/court and was pretty unorganized in my opinion which is half the battle of getting a good plea deal with a DWI. We all make mistakes, I did and take full ownership and res...ponsibility, but I don’t ever want an attorney that I paid a lot of money to plea out my case and get me what I could have gotten for a lot less money from a different subpar attorney. It actually felt like I knew more about what I should be doing to help myself than he did. Upside he did respond to most texts/calls until he was too busy or was worried he would look incompetent b/c he knew at that point I knew he wasn’t a good lawyer. Upside b/c I told him how I could help myself, my probation wasn’t as bad, but really I felt like just a number (he couldn’t even get a hearing date right - I showed up, he was very late, and then tried to blame it on the judge/court without taking ownership) and I knew I made a huge mistake hiring him. (I had been waiting for at least 45 minutes to a hour at this point before he showed up b/c I didn’t want to be late - he clearly didn’t care.). He had my money at this point. He has a sales pitch so you will retain him, but his skill level isn’t good and he hires and fires his administration assistants like they are the newest cell phone. All red flags - he’s a good family man, but if you’re smart, you’ll retain a lawyer that knows what he is doing. And just so you know - It bothers me to not be positive and write anything negative about someone who is trying to make a living for his family, but I just think DWI clients deserve better!
