Child custody WON!!

The right man for the job! We have used Mr. Willie twice now. Finding yourself in a custody case is a scary place to be. Initially we chose Mr. Willie because the phone consultation was free and he was kind enough to listen and give us some guidance. The first call to his office was twelve years ago.... We needed an attorney again over the last 18 months and naturally chose him again Eric did a great job of helping us navigate the waters of fighting for your child. His performance in the courtroom is impressive! He is sharp and aggressive and definitely gets the job done! I was not afraid to walk into the courtroom with he and his team by my side. I highly recommend Mr. Eric Willie. The legal system can feel overwhelming and discouraging enough to face alone, but this guy here will get you through it and take the fear out of the situation. He knows what he is doing. Worthy of trust and confidence. Ultimate professional.

Gave me critical info in five minutes that two previous attorneys I interviewed missed - thank you again Eric

I found Eric mostly by chance - I saw his great reviews online and he happens to be close to Oak Hill. I stopped in his office and he took a meeting with me on the spot. I have a very high-conflict time-sensitive case in an emergency situation - in five minutes he gave me critical info that two pre...vious attorneys I interviewed missed. Eric Willie took a strategic view of my case and explained things in a logical step-by-step manner. I don't often make recommendations, but I emphatically recommend Eric.

Got it done and done right

I needed an attorney that would be able to take control of an out of control situation with my ex-husband. He was aggressive and handled the case exactly how I needed and advocated for my best interests against an opposing counsel that felt he could steam roll me. Eric didn't let that happen. If y...ou need an attorney that will fight for you, this is your guy.

A stright shooter

I had interviewed a few other attorneys before I met with Eric. I hired him because he knew the ins and out of the Travis County courthouse. He had been through multiple trials in front of all of these judges. He knew who we wanted and who we didn't want. He explained each step of the way meticul...ously and that eased my comfort level. He also would tell me exactly where we stood on all of the issues. He never misled me into believing something that wasn't true. That helped me make the right decisions that in the end ended up settling my case. His invaluable advise saved my case and in turn saved me thousands of dollars by not actually going to trial. When you need the best, call this guy.

Experience, and Integrity

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.
