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

Really Good!

I was very thankful we chose Doug to handle my case for a DUI. He was very knowledgeable, experienced, and even knew the Judge who handled my case. He has an extraordinarily efficient support team in Judy and Ashley who will answer every question you may have, and will walk you through the entire pr...ocess. I highly recommend Doug Wilder.

Awesome Lawyer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doug worked with me for over 2 years trying to get the best possible outcome concerning a dwi/ucw case. He is very knowledgable about the law and will stick with whom ever his clients are until the end. I could not have chosen a better lawyer for my case; he had my ucw dismissed and made my dwi man...agable. I contacted Doug after I had completed all necessary requirments by the law after 9 months. He had my interlock removed off my vehicle immediately once eligible. Overall excellent lawyer, and if you want your case handled right with the best possible outcome contact Doug Wilder.

AMAZING

Doug was excellent! I had a PI and a resisting arrest case. Doug worked magic! He brought the courts down to letting me do 36 hours of community service, write an apology letter to the officers I offended, and a 12 hour class on anger management. My case was DISMISSED! They wanted me to also pay a fi...ne, and Doug was able to get that dropped! I would recommend him to EVERYONE! He is responsible, very personable and actually cares about his clients and what's in their best interest! 10 Stars if possible! All in all, he made a horrible situation tolerable. His staff is knowledgeable and everyone works hard to help the clients! If you need an attorney in the DFW area, choose Douglas Wilder!!!

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.
