Eric M. Willie

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!!

Eric Willie is a "ONE HIT WONDER!" It appears that since the initial dust from my divorce has settled, Eric took my money, which included an additional $1500 on top of the $5000 I paid that was to be a flat fee for ALL ISSUES related to my case and was not, and high tailed it without warning! There i...s still an issue lingering surrounding our family residence and we were to address that issue after a six month time period after the divorce was signed by the judge. Well, that six months is up and I have heard NOTHING from Eric or anyone from his office. I also received no communication that Mr. Willie is no longer representing me, so if you ask me if I have an attorney, that I really can't answer. I do know though and can prove with my communication efforts that he has not "finished what was started" and is making no attempts to contact me. I feel as though I was baited in to hire him because he assured me that he could clean up what a previous attorney messed up, which he did, but after being asked to appear again and charged the additional funds by Eric, then the time period for which we were to address the house being sold and not hearing from Mr. Willie (even with me offering to shell out more money, even though I was to only pay a flat fee surrounding my divorce) I have to recant my initial comment. Mr. Willie is a good attorney, initially and for short cases, but if you have something that might require him to actually WORK beyond a couple times in court, this is where he fails, in my opinion! After getting every cent Eric asked for and giving him such rave reviews, upon HIS request, I would think he would have had the decency to finish the case he started... instead, I got a "one hit wonder," out of Eric Willie... Get your pocket books ready, but be prepared to pay someone else to finish Eric's job.

I used Eric about 1.5yrs ago to handle my divorce. When i first communicated with Eric i was out of state, nervous about the divorce proceedings, nervous about my finances and the impact my divorce would have on our kids, nervous about our possessions, and nervous about being one of those really ugl...y divorce stories. I had no previous experience working with divorce lawyers but after speaking/interviewing with several other attorney's I made the decision to work with Eric. It was one of the best decisions I have made. I can honestly say that all those nerves i had going into this were real but Eric did a real good job of explaining things to me, was standing right beside me on the final day when i went up in front of the judge, was responsive, and very knowledgeable. Aside from the positive and professional customer service, I couldn't be more happy about the terms of the divorce. I literally got everything I wanted... I kept the house i worked so hard to buy at a young age, the minimal amount of child support required, the custody arrangements of my preference, and a very fair split of the remaining assets. I do think it is worth noting that my ex's attorney was well known so this was no walk in the park for Eric. Eric and I were in mediation from about 8am 6:30pm, and he would have been there with me if it was from 8am - 6:30am the next day. As you can tell i was very pleased with his services and have him helping me on a case right now against the attorney generals office and the records they have on file regarding my child support payments. This time around I have none of the nerves I had before working with Eric.

I hired Eric to do my divorce. My husband said he'd agree on everything in the beginning but then changed his mind shortly before court. I panicked but Eric assured me that we would be ok. We ended up going to court and winning. It was a different road than I thought but everything turned out for the... best. I highly reccomed Eric Willie and his staff to anyone looking for an experienced divorce lawyer.

Eric is by far, the best Attorney in Austin. I am a father of three children and he helped me get custody. He worked tirelessly to help me. I was told by four other attorneys that I couldnt win my case becasue I was a man. Mr. Willie told me that that was not true and he came through for me. If y...ou are looking for the best, go with him. I wouldnt reccomend anyone else but him. Save time and call him first. He is skillful, knowledgeable, truthful and receptive. Do yourself a favor and go with him.
