When you need the best

When you want the best. I hired Eric to help me with my divorce case. He was prompt, professional and always had my best interest in mind. He knew what he was doing in the courtroom and would always call me back. We need up settling in mediation with his guidance. I can't thank him enough.

Thank You

The WillieDasher Law Group stood by my side and provided solid legal counsel in a case that was less than straightforward. Specifically, they did not give me false hopes, or promises but helped me resolve my case through mediation to avoid both a costly and emotionally extended trial. Their commun...ications, document preparations and representation succinct, nothing extraneous. Their team knows the law of the land, the tendencies of the opposing counsels, and they work with a highly qualified mediator. Their paralegal offered emotional support in moments when it all seemed too much to carry. The entire experience was both professional and personaI. The outcome, the best that one could expect with a spouse who promised “you will get nothing”. Due to COVID, I worked with both Eric Willie and and Jesus Aguirre remotely. Its strange to get divorced by Zoom, but I did not feel that the virtuality negatively effected my case. I am deeply grateful that they were willing to work with me, and highly recommend that you speak with Eric or Jesus about your case.

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.

Custody lawyer

A good lawyer. A good person. Sometimes anxiety gets the best of you when you go through a custody battle. My wife tried to limit my time with my kids to 1 day a week supervised. In steps Eric Willie. He didn’t take no for an answer from the other side and convinced me that going to court would be th...e best way to go. The judge agreed with Mr. Willie. I not only got visitation with my kids. I ended up with 50-50 custody. Thanks your sir.
