When you need the best.

Doug Wilder is considered by many, including myself, to be the best DWI lawyer to be had. Doug carefully considers all the aspects of a case, including possible ramifications that may result, which others may not take into account. He will then advise accordingly making sure that the client fully ...understands all of the issues involved.

Case Dismissed - Thank the Lord and Doug!

I had so much fun at my company's crawfish boil, I never made it home that night, whomp whomp! Instead I found myself swimming in a whole lotta trouble with the local police dept and facing a DWI charge. I was completely overwhelmed and terrified of what was to come. So I sought out in search of a la...wyer, someone to bat in my corner. After interviewing a few lawyers (all high profile), I chose Doug because he took his time when consulting with me, and I felt reassured by his expertise and demeanor (think traits of a good attorney). Best decision ever! My license was NEVER suspended from the ALR hearing and eventually my case was dismissed. Absolutely the best outcome I could've asked for considering the circumstances. I highly recommend Doug. Choose Wilder! Oh and I like Judy too, she's awesome.

Thank god for Doug and his expertise.

I had a DWI/2nd Offense and was devastated, scared, and lost. By far, my best decision through this whole process was engaging Doug Wilder. From Day One, he and his outstanding associates calmed me, walked me through alternatives and suggestions, were there every step of the way from the beginning, ...through my court date, and afterwards. As I went through the various steps of the process, I talked to many of the people in my same situation and it was clear that Doug's outstanding service to me and my case is not the norm, at least from my peers. Talk of no response from their attorney, no help, no advice, and most important to me, no compassion to these peers' situation and willingness to help. Doug was a superstar and that's not only my opinion. At my Occupational Drivers License hearing, in open court, the judge addressed me and said "I hope you know you have one of the finest attorneys in the State of Texas. Follow his advice and you'll be ok." I couldn't have said it better myself. And a shout-out to his paralegal Rebecca. I will be forever grateful to both. Daniel - Dallas

The BEST

Facing a felony 3rd DUI, I reached out to Doug and his team after talking to him and three other lawyers about my case I decided on the Wilder Firm. The other lawyers that I talked with were more salesman than lawyers stating that they could get the breath test thrown out along with the field sobriet...y test. This concerned me because they had not seen any of the evidence against me. Doug was the only lawyer that gave it to me straight. He did not make any promises about getting the case dismissed or reduced. What he did was give me the real picture, he needed to see the evidence before making any claims about getting the case dismissed. What he did promise was that he and his team would do their best to defend me. I was facing my 3rd DUI needless to say I was very scarred. Once the evidence was in their possession they contacted me to come to the office to review. Doug and Paul worked very hard with the DA and was able to get the charges reduced to 1st DUI I don’t know how they did it but I cannot praise them enough. I was able to keep my license, probation 18 months (this is standard), and I can now put this mistake behind me. I don’t know what I would have done without the Wilder Team.

Disappointed

I had selected him for my DWI case. First offense, first legal trouble. I had 3 court appearances and he was only present for 1 (and tried to find a substitute for that appearance that was my sentencing). He seemed to be familiar with the county I had gotten trouble in, but didn't seem to want to b...e there when I thought it was necessary. Judy was extremely helpful and was a pleasure to deal with. He seemed to be more concerned with going to trial for the purpose of obtaining another retainer fee.
