Doug will do everything in his power to get you the best possible outcome. Upon being released on bond after a 1st DWI offense, I contacted the Wilder firm. His paralegals were so helpful and told me exactly what to do during this time. Doug told me which steps to take and how everything would roll o...ut if I went with the Wilder firm. After a few consultations from other firms, I decided to go with Doug. I can't tell you how impressed I was with their proactive steps. They'll set you up with everything you need. After a discovery period, Doug will consult with you and show you what options you have and advise you on the best possible outcome given the situation. There are so many factors that go into these decisions and Doug's expertise in this area is top notch. He knows the game, he was a prosecutor, he knows who the judges and prosecutors are, he knows how certain days and volume of cases through the court will affect yours - he understands how courts operate. In my case, I was extremely happy with the outcome - I had a very high bac at the time of the incident and there wasn't much room to question evidence if we went to trial so we decided to take a plea deal. Doug was able a negotiate a fabulous plea bargain given the circumstances. If your case has a better chance in trial, Doug will go, and I'd trust him and his team! What happened next is what really impressed me about the Wilder Firm. They will put together a plan for you to be on top of everything for probation. They have classes ready for you to take, and show you what you need. This was so helpful. By the time I had to start probation I had almost everything required of this done. Not to mention when your case in in court either for trial or a plea, this looks overwhelming good to the court. The proactive steps the firm takes for you are incredible. The paralegals are always available and Doug himself is too. He takes the reputation of the firm seriously and offers great service to his clients. I would hire the Wilder Firm again in a heartbeat. If you are considering an attorney, please call them and set up a meeting with Doug. If you want to fight your charge please contact the Wilder Firm. Lastly, Doug and the firm do care about you and their clients. If this DUI is something in your life that is a wake up call, they are there to help and they have a tremendous network of associates to get you help. You want to show the court who you really are and the Wilder Firm is there to do that. I highly recommend the Wilder Firm to you.

I want to start off by saying if you are looking for a DUI lawyer Doug Wilder is definitely the way to go!! I was stopped in Dallas county on a Saturday night. It was my first and only DUI and had been coming home from a car club meeting when I made an illegal right turn and was stopped by the office...r. I had had a few to drink earlier that night and had admitted that to the cop. Because my son was with me and he stated that, "I appeared intoxicated" he arrested me and charged me with a felony DUI with a minor. The next Monday I had called Doug's office to schedule a consultation. The office staff was very helpful during this entire process and helped me get everything set up to begin the long process of court hearings. Doug was very honest from the beginning about what he wanted me to do to get this dropped to a misdemeanor and get sentenced to the least possible outcome we could get it down to. He did not spare any information and informed me that I would have to do things I might not want to do such as AA every night, Alcohol breathing device (Soberlink), MADD classes, Alcohol Evaluation and so forth. I pushed through and did everything that he wanted me to do before my first court date and I was so glad I did! The judge was impressed that everything he was going to sentence me to on probation was already done he ended up dropping my felony DUI case with a minor all the way down to a class B misdemeanor and only 18 months probation. Seeing as I had already done EVERYTHING he was going to sentence me to again, thanks to Doug, I no longer had to do anything else other then check in with my PO once a month. It was a way easier process thanks to Mr. Wilder. I fought him some days with having to do AA every night but I honestly believe without his representation and me completing everything he wanted me to I was able to walk out of that court jumping for joy with what I got sentenced. I recommend Mr. Wilder to anyone needing any type of representation for a DUI!! He was amazing and I could not be more happy with him!!

I found Doug, Rebecca, and Judy through Avvo. To say that they are life-savers would be a gross understatement. My husband had outstanding cash-only warrants for Dallas County totaling $6000.00 and every attorney I spoke to said that they couldn't help us and that we were basically screwed. I called ...Doug's office and spoke to Rebecca and my hope was renewed! Rebecca is AMAZING!!! She took all of our information and immediately set up an appointment to meet with Doug. Doug was confident and extremely knowledgeable. He said we were facing one of the worst courts in the county but that he would do everything in his power to help us. My husband was facing 2 DWI 2nds and an assault charge. His most recent DWI was with a BAC of .31! Doug was able to get the judge to reinstate his bonds without us having to pay the cash warrants. Rebecca always knew exactly what was going on every time I called (which was a ton because I was a nervous wreck :) ). She really makes you feel like you are their only client! Doug and Rebecca got my husband into the programs that helped him clearly see the mistakes he had made and when his court date came up this month, he had already completed all of the certifications that are required as part of probation. Doug was able to get the assault dropped, the old DWI closed as time passed and he got 20 months probation on the one with a .31 and only has to have the interlock for 9 months! Doug kept my husband out of jail, kept him from getting a felony DWI and saved our lives! My husband made some really poor choices years ago and needed help. Doug was compassionate, he never stopped fighting for us and got my husband the help he needed. So, if you are looking for an attorney in Dallas for a DWI, stop and call Doug's office. Rebecca or Judy will answer the phone and you will immediately see what I am talking about! They are the best in the business and you will be glad you called.

Was arrested in Aug '16 for a probation violation of a DWI from '08. Contacted my previous attny who helped with the case and told me he wanted x amount of money and that they wanted me to serve time for this violation. Decided to contact Doug BC of things I've heard and the outstanding ratings he re...ceived from other clients. This wasn't my first run in with law enforcement so I kinda knew my way around, but he well exceeded my expectations. His staff is terrific and very well informed, they advised me of what I needed to do and what our goal was for the outcome of my case. I followed their advice and did as I was asked from his staff keep in mind....I didn't meet and talk to Doug until we went to court the third week of september. That's how up to speed and aware he and his staff are when it comes to what needs to happen and needs to be done! I went to court by 9 am met Doug by 915 and the entire violation was dismissed and case closed by 11 am. I went from they want you to serve time on this case to case closed in about week and a half's time because of Mr Wilder. I've dealt with a few lawyers in my time and by far he was the best and easiest to work with. Without a doubt I would recommend Mr. Wilder and his staff hands down!

I was devastated when I was arrested for a DWI and took the search for a defense attorney very seriously. I did hours of research on Dallas DWI attorneys before interviewing about a dozen in person. After narrowing to just four, one attorney asked who else was in the mix- when I mentioned Doug's name..., this attorney said "well I'll be honest, Doug wins cases that I never thought were possible and if I were in your boat I'd pick him". I am sure glad I did. As a very career focused and driven person, I was sure that this event would ruin my chances at getting a highly competitive job or getting into a top grad program. I explained to him my situation, and my concerns and how any conviction for a DWI was just not in the cards for me. He reviewed my case and gave it to me straight the whole time which I greatly appreciated. Given the particulars associated with my arrest, as well as other medical factors, we came up with a plan to try and fight the charge. He warned me that this could take months or years, but that he truly believed this would lead to the best outcome. Over the nearly 2.5 years it took, I rarely felt like I wasn't in good hands. High office turnover made me nervous, the volume of posts to the electronic case management system was at times overwhelming, but Judy (his longtime paralegal) and Doug never made me feel like a random name on a client list. In the end, Doug worked his skill and his magic, and I plead to obstruction of a roadway. I have never been so grateful to have put my future in the hands of someone who could get the job done. Thank you Doug.
