Child custody

I hired Mr. Eric Willie to be my attorney in my custody case. The first time I spoke to Eric, a lot of stress and doubt was relieved. I struggled for 15 years to see my son regularly because he was always held back from spending time with me. After all the tears and heartaches trying to have a rel...ationship with my son, Eric fought for my family and I was awarded full custody. I will never forget that day in court. Eric was cool and calm in the court room that led to victory. His knowledge in family law is very strong and he is worth every penny. I would recommend Eric to anyone who is struggling with custody issues who feel that there is no hope. Thank you God for putting him in my path. Eric, my family and I will always be grateful. God bless you.

Very talented Divorce Attorney

Mr. Eric M.Willie is a very talented attorney. I highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in need of an excellent divorce attorney. I hired Mr. Eric M. Willie represent me because my ex-spouse filed for divorce without giving me proper notice. He reviewed my case and immediately began for...mulating the various angels to approach a defense and had my case reopen. I saw something in him I didn’t see in previous attorneys, We ended up settling our case, and although we did not go to trial, I was able to walk away with the things that mattered most to me My experience with the legal services of Eric, have been extremely positive

Custody Battle

I hired Eric Willie to assist me in court after being served with paperwork by my ex husband for custody. Eric got right to work by transferring the case to the bastrop county since we had been living there for 3 years. He spoke very frank with me and I appreciated that. He told me exactly what could... and couldn't do. We just had our court date yesterday and I was extremely nervous. I suffer from PTSD and severe anxiety. He reminded me to keep a hold of my emotions. I thought I would lose my daughters because of my mental illness. Eric's line of questioning with my ex husband was awesome. He knew what questions to ask. I believe that he worked hard for me and it was well worth the retainers. There's no way I could put a price on my daughters. We won the court hearing and I get to keep custody of my daughters. What I thought was great was when he said if I started to get anxious to squeeze my husbands hand or his arm if needed be. I did both while the judge was talking waiting to hear his decision. I'm completely satisfied with the work he did for my family. I couldn't have asked for better because I believe he is the best at what he does. His staff was great. My concerns were always addressed at any time day or night with Eric responding personally. He responded over Christmas break. If I started to worry he would always put my mind at ease that things would be ok. I will continue to use him for any future issues, hopefully there won't be any. Thanks Eric and thank you to your staff. You definitely have a great family there!

More than a divorce lawyer!

About fifteen years ago, my companion and I went to Eric Willie for help in drawing up our wills. He came highly recommended by friends whom we trusted and we could not have been more pleased with the result. Mr. Willie was obviously very experienced in family law and took plenty of time to get to kn...ow us and our needs and concerns. His staff were professional and efficient as well as being friendly and resourceful. And his fee was extremely reasonable. When it became possible for us to marry last year, my companion and I returned to Eric, now in an even more convenient office very near our home in South Austin, for advice on updating our wills. Once again, we were very, very satisfied. We will continue to use Eric Willie for any and all of our legal needs. Eric Willie is much more than a wonderful divorce lawyer!

Eric knows the The Travis County court system inside and out

I was thoroughly impressed with Eric's knowledge of what actually happens inside a court room in Travis County. He knew which judges to go to for certain things and which judges not to go to. When you need a lawyer who actually has tried a bunch of cases before the court, Eric is the guy to hire. He ...is an excellent trial attorney and I would recommend him to anyone.
