When I was arrested for suspicion of DUI shortly after moving to Dallas County (Nov. 2008), I did not know what I was going to do to defend myself and did not know any lawyers. After speaking to a few colleagues, I received Doug's name as a referral and thought I would give him a call. Doug agre...ed to meet with me right away, and upon our first meeting I knew Doug and his staff were the right team for me. Doug met me personally and clearly explained the next steps and put my mind at ease. Immediately, he had a plan to take on my case and laid out steps for me to take (i.e. M.A.D.D, driver education, etc.) Doug was very up front about the costs of his services and there were never any surprises or unexpected costs added on for his expertise. Doug and his team maintained consistent contact with me throughout the process and the pre-trial court appearances. His staff was very knowledgeable about the proceedings and helped me every step of the way. I felt at ease with the professional manner of the team, and Doug's personable style kept me calm and confident about the outcome of my case. Doug's extensive knowledge of the law and DUI police protocol ultimately resulted in receiving a fair and equitable plea agreement to accept a lesser charge and the DUI charge dismissed. After 15 months of unsupervised probation, my case is behind me. Fast forward to 2014 - When completing an application for a professional license, I was required to complete a background check form that required information pertaining to my previous case. I could not find the relevant information and gave Doug's office a call. Doug answered my call and immediately went to work for me all over again, providing me with the information from my case and helped me complete my application by instructing me on how to properly answer the questions (i.e. probation, my plea deal, cause#, etc.). Long story short, call the Wilder Firm - you will thank yourself.

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 was recommended to me by a good friend and helped me through the most stressful time of my life. Doug is personable and his professionalism, knowledge and honesty were greatly appreciated. He was very candid about the options and was responsive and gave great advice during my whole trial proces...s. In addition his assistants, were very helpful, organized and informative and every inquiry was returned promptly. I highly recommend him to anyone facing DWI charges who wants a real professional to handle any matter delicate or otherwise with a very positive outcome.
