Exceptional Relationships & Case Planning

Doug handled a DUI case for me that was eventually dismissed after nearly 3 years. His management of the case was exceptional. Most impressive (and impactful to the result) was his extensive relationships on both sides of the courtroom and throughout the industry. His ability to plan out the case an...d utilize all resources available to us was critical to the positive end result of the case. Doug broke down the different aspects of the case - both strong and weak - and built an action plan for each, again utilizing highly credible experts and resources. I was really shocked at the extent of his network of people, both local and across the country. I'm very grateful to him for his dedication to the case and fighting to the very end for me. I would highly recommend Doug for anyone who feels it's critical to put up the toughest defense possible.

Good Help is Hard to Find: Doug Wilder Delivers

Doug Wilder has been truly outstanding in his defense efforts in my case. His knowledge of the law and court room procedures is extensive and he was always honest with his advice. He always answered any questions that I had and explained the course of action he would take thoroughly, always ensuring ...me that although the circumstances were not the best that he would do everything humanly (and legally of course) possible to defend me in court. He was straightforward and never gave me false hope. Even if there was a difference of opinions he would gladly listen and give feedback. Setting up appointments with him was easy and he was always able to see me and talk to me in person when I needed it. During the entire time that it took for my case to be dismissed I was kept in the loop as to what was happening and Doug was there every step of the way. What I liked best was that Doug will respect you and take care of you and lay out his expectation that you, the client, have to do your part as well. Listen to his advice and stay out of trouble.

Doug Wilder - magic man

Douglas Wilder was a God-send, prayers answered. I'd reviewed and spoken with several attorneys before hiring Doug. I retained him because of his personable, calm, professional and knowledgeable demeanor. He allayed my fears and gave me hope. I was facing 2 separate charges on DWI and when we revie...wed the video evidence and police reports I was more than just concerned, I was panicked! I said, "Doug man, this looks really bad. I'm scared". He replied "yeah (in other words, not real good!), but I'll work you through this and we'll get through it with the best possible outcome (i.e., the least possible collateral damage)". And he did. We discussed the options in detail, and with that, he allowed me to make an informed, educated decision that I had confidence in. It's amazing what that security can do to boost your confidence and reduce stress. When the court date came, he was a miracle worker. At one point early on he'd asked me what I wanted to see out of this and I replied, "if I had only one wish - no jail time". Well, with his knowledge and experience before the bench, he was able not only to get one charge completely dismissed, but probation for the other! He completely exceeded my expectations. I cannot tell you how elated I was - my wife actually cried on the way home. Miracles CAN happen with the right guy on your side. That's why I'd recommend Doug for anyone else in my situation. The peace of mind that comes with that experience is irreplaceable. Thanks, Doug! JD

In Doug We Trust

When we were faced with a potential DWI we called Doug to represent us. We scheduled a consultation and were armed with many questions on how he was going to handle the case. I walked into his office as if I were a Professional Sports scout because I wanted to know his win percentage, his percentage... of having charges reduced, and how quickly we could get this over with. Doug looked us in the eye and gave us the straight truth. He told us we were in for a long fight and that he would do his best to help us get our case dismissed or the charge reduced. I wanted to know if we had enough to get our case dismissed and he looked at us and said not without his help. He counseled us that if we trusted him and helped him present our case to the jury that we would have a fighting chance to have the case dismissed or be found not guilty. We left his office without the security of a not guilty guarantee but with the comfort of knowing that I could trust Doug to be our advocate. His honesty and non-salesman approach resonated with me and reinforced our decision to have him represent us. A DWI conviction could have disastrous effects for my spouse's career so we were essentially putting her career advancement in Doug's hands. Doug's guidance assisted us throughout this three year tribulation. I'm happy to report that our case was dismissed and it was because of Doug's brilliant representation and experience in these matters. If you should ever be charged with a DWI you need to get Doug on your side. The man is honest, trustworthy, experienced, and will fight for you.

PROFESSIONAL....KNOWLEDGEABLE ....DILIGENT

If you are seeking an attorney who is professional,knowledgable,hardworking and believes that you are innocent until proven guilty.....look no further. Mr Wilder is the man for the job!!! The attorney my husband initially had before Mr Wilder exhibited none of these qualities ....a simple case that ...should have and could have been disposed of within a couple of court dates lingered for almost a year, then Mr Wilder took over the case and resolved it within 30 mins of us meeting him!!! Absolutely phenomenal !!! Thanks to Mr Wilder my husband has his life back!!!!!!!!!!
