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!!

At the 2013, I hired Eric as my attorney for my divorce case. He quoted me for $5K for the case. After 1 months, he asked for $7K, then $10K, $12K, $15K. There is much progress for my case, but he was excellent at fill up hours and bills. It's hard to argue that a 2-hours task he claimed is really d...one by his assistant with a template for only 10 mins. One time he even charged me 3 hours he didn't do it at all. He told that's a place holder! I was sick of his endless billing without no progress. I fired him after 2 months of hiring. After the divorce is done, I found the attorney of the other party charged the other party for only 1/3 of the amount of Eric did, for the same case, even with higher hour rate.

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.

If you thought you couldn’t find integrity, skill and compassion in your legal counsel, think again, because you will find all of that at Willie Dasher law firm. We didn’t have much to hope for in our never-ending, stressful, extremely challenging case. We have been sued frivolously multiple tim...es for custody as a means of deliberately draining our finances. Our previous lawyer took advantage of us and was also found them to be highly unethical. She put our already uphill battle into a whole new realm of stress and difficulty and sold us out when the opposing party switched attorneys to someone she was close personal friends with, at which point she made several decisions that almost cost us everything. We were losing hope and were just hoping to come out as unscathed as possible. Enter Eric Willie. We called him, and he right away was asking all of the right questions. This attorney has experience you can trust and he can alleviate your concerns. If you are a reasonable player in your battle, his office is where you need to be. You can count on him to deal professionally and capably with any shortcomings in your case, without throwing you under the bus. He tends to know most of the players, as he has been at this for quite some time. He is highly respected in his field and for all of the right reasons. He will not sell you out and he will give it to you straight, which is something I really value in people in general, but lawyers most importantly. Our situation came out better than we had expected, especially given the cluster of crap we handed to him. His opening argument was so well-prepared and thoughtful that the opposing counsel actually stammered. Further, his paralegals are sweet and helpful and compliment his work well. I highly recommend Eric Willie if you are dealing with a difficult family law situation.

I hired this attorney to represent me in a contentious family law matter involving my son. He assured me that he could handle my case and deal with a very aggressive opposing attorney. His work was disastrous because Mr. Willie did not do the proper research nor did he seem to make any attempt to... understand what the actual legal situation was for me and my son. The proper paperwork was not filed with the court and Mr. Willie never followed up on efforts to have a mediated agreement enforced. After temporary orders were issued, Mr. Willie would not respond to my requests for information. Instead his communications to me were inappropriate and hostile, and I was forced to hire another attorney. Based on my experience, it is my opinion that Mr. Willie is deceptive and untrustworthy.
