Eric M. Willie

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.

Eric is a great attorney. He always understood what my priorities were and what was important to me, especially when it came to custody of my 2 children. The 2 other attorneys I had talked to recommended I settled for standard visitation because they probably did not want to deal with my case and jus...t make fast cash. Eric never compromised on the joint custody I wanted, and hiring him was my best decision. He is result oriented and has always taken the time to clearly explain my options to me and is very honest in setting expectations. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for an attorney.

I used Mr. Willie for my divorce last year. From the beginning he was very knowledgeable and had a game plan. I always felt he was looking out for my best interests. This was a complicated case involving child custody and he was very good with dealing with my husbands attorney and very good in court.... I would not hesitate to use Mr. Willie again and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody.
