Great Attorney!

Eric is not just a great attorney but he’s the guy you want on your side when everything feels like it’s falling apart. Family law issues are emotional, messy, and exhausting. Eric stayed calm when I wasn’t. He always answered my calls, talked me through my anxiety, and never once made me feel like I... was “too much.” He’s practical, level headed, and was genuinely compassionate toward my situation. I appreciated having a lawyer who also wanted what was best for the children involved. Don't mistake his compassion for weakness though, Eric is a go getter who will do everything in his power to help you. I was in a very sticky situation, and this wasn’t a quick fix. He stayed committed to my case for years until everything was fully resolved. That kind of consistency and dedication matters. His rates are fair, and he’s willing to work with you as long as you communicate with him. He doesn’t overpromise. He shows up and he follows through with what he says. If I ever need legal help again, he will be my first call without hesitation!!!

Trustworthy Attorney

My first free consultation with attorney Eric Little was back in 2019. His advice related to a real estate transaction was invaluable. Today, for the second time, he not only gave me incredibly useful advice, he saved me from doing something very stupid. This is why you consult lawyers — to understa...nd your options and to find out if what you’re thinking about doing is a bad idea. Like the first time, I hope I don’t need to hire him but if I do, I know he’ll have my back. Based on our discussion, I know he can be trusted. I highly recommend Mr. Little, particularly for real estate related issues.

Outstanding Family Law Attorney – Skilled, Compassionate, and Committed

Eric R. Little has been my attorney for several years, specifically for family court matters, and I can say with complete confidence that he is one of the most exceptional attorneys I’ve ever worked with. He brings together the perfect balance of legal skill, courtroom experience, and genuine compass...ion—qualities that are especially important in family law cases. From the beginning, Eric made me feel heard and supported. He took the time to understand the complexities of my situation and always explained my options clearly and thoroughly. His communication is consistent and thoughtful, and he is always responsive when questions or concerns arise. Eric’s legal knowledge is unmatched. He’s a true master of his field and approaches each case with precision and strategy. In court, he is calm, confident, and extremely well-prepared—qualities that inspire confidence during what can be very high-stress proceedings. I always felt that he was fully in control of the process and fighting for the best possible outcome. What I appreciate most, though, is how much Eric truly cares about his clients. He never treats a case like just another file—he invests himself personally and goes the extra mile at every opportunity. That level of dedication is rare, and it made a significant difference in both my experience and the results of my case. If you’re looking for a family law attorney who is both an expert in his field and genuinely invested in helping his clients, I strongly recommend The Law Office of Eric R. Little.

I refer this lawyer to everyone with family issue or real estate. He is worth more than 5 stars

You will not be disappointed !

While calling around all over Galveston county, and having several consultations, we spoke with Eric Little one time and decided to retain him. We explained everything in an honest conversation. He had no judgement or opinions. We went with a gut instinct and it proved to be beneficial. His retainer... was fair, and straight forward from the beginning. Mr. Little has a professional approach that involves facts and proof that will stop a case from dragging forward and costing you a ton of money. He is straight-forward, professional, and he is a no-nonsense kind of Attorney. He does not sugar coat anything for either side. He has a professional relationship in the courts. He suggested what to get to prepare, we did just that, he presented it to the opposing Attorney and it all ended in mediation. The other parent wanted sole custody, my son was awarded equal rights (the same that the mother has) he was awarded extended visitation, shared holidays, and the mother received a geographic restriction (the mother wanted to move hours away). He made sure the other parent can't just up and take his children away from the family they are attached to, and were born and raised with. His emphasis was not taking love and commonality away from innocent children. Cases hardly ever end good for the father, and he made sure this one did. Hopefully we will not need him again ;) but if YOU need a decent Attorney and you are a good parent just wanting your earned and deserved rights to your child/children, I recommend you give him a try.
