He Put My Trust Back In Lawyers

I was referred to Eric by two different friends who had used him during their divorce. My husband had threatened me over and over that if I left him he would take everything away from me including my kids. From the moment I met Eric, he put me at ease. He wanted to know what I wanted, what scared me... about the process and what I needed from him to feel at ease. He told me my husband was being a bully and was trying to control me. Eric gave me a voice and stood up for me. In the end my husband was just hot air. His threats did not work once we fought back. Eric was brilliant in the courtroom. He really knew what he was doing. I trusted him and he did everything he said he would do. When you are looking for someone you can confide in, someone that knows the system and how to win, Eric is the person to go to. I can't thank him enough.

Got this Father FULL Custody!

Eric was exactly what I needed to achieve what felt impossible. He is confident, reassuring, and knowledgeable. He knew exactly what we needed to do to get custody of my son. It was a very long and trying battle but the entire time I was kept well informed and assured we were doing everything righ...t. There were no false promises and he told me up front that this would be a difficult battle but, WE DID IT!! Not only did I get custody but we actually got everything and MORE we asked for!! I would whole heartedly recommend Eric to anyone who needs the best attorney to represent them and their family’s interests. An eternally grateful father, Brice

Austin BEST Divorce Attorney

Eric Willie is hands down the best Divorce/Family Law attorney in Austin!! Eric invests his time, energy and heart in each and every case. Eric is attentive, detail-oriented, knowledgeable and thorough. After 8 months of no progress, being totally left in the dark, and an outrageously high tab from a...nother lawyer at a large firm in Austin, Eric agreed to take my case with every possible odd stacked against me. Eric never stopped supporting me, communicating with me, encouraging me nor believing in me. I was truly "dead in the water" before Eric stepped in and readily took my case. In record time, Eric studied my case, caught up to speed, and ready for my trial. Due to Eric's knowledge of Texas Family Law and just as importanty, the Travis County Court System, Eric knew what to expect in the courtroom and always kept me informed. Eric took me from defeated to utter defeat!! My ex was attempting to relocate my son to East Texas and I have Eric to thank for tirelessly fighting to keep my son here with his sister and I. Eric is honest, genuine, compassionate, and truly invested in his clients. Eric Willie is a lawyer you can trust to pour himself into your case. He is receptive and open-minded. He has a very calming effect that is very crucial during such high pressure, high stress situations. I highly recommend Eric Willie to anyone seeking the best Divorce Lawyer that Austin, TX has to offer. Top notch Professional!!

More than a lawyer

I hired Eric for my divorce case. I had previously had an attorney that wasn't following through. I was a little hesitant after my last lawyer but after initially speaking to Eric on the phone I immediately knew he was different. He had a thorough knowledge of the court system and clearly Knew what ...he was doing. He went over everything during our initial meeting about what needed to be done and we immediately set out in our plan. We attempted to do Mediation but my ex wife thought she could take me for more money (and less time withy kids) in court. Eric proved her and her attorney wrong. The case lasted a day and a half and clearly Eric knew what he was doing. While my ex wife focused on money, I focused on the kids. The judge could clearly see what they were all about and in the end we were victorious. I can't thank Eric enough for being my lawyer and friend throughout this process.

Highly Experienced

Eric was very upfront and real with me from the beginning about what I could expect in my divorce and child custody case. He set my expectations and told me how we would go about the process. A detailed plan was laid out and we followed it. In the end, we were able to avoid trial and settle the ca...se in a mediation setting. I was able to keep my house and have joint custody of my two young daughters. I can't thank him enough for his guidance and expertise in my time of need.
