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.

Child custody

I hired Mr. Eric Willie to be my attorney in my custody case. The first time I spoke to Eric, a lot of stress and doubt was relieved. I struggled for 15 years to see my son regularly because he was always held back from spending time with me. After all the tears and heartaches trying to have a rel...ationship with my son, Eric fought for my family and I was awarded full custody. I will never forget that day in court. Eric was cool and calm in the court room that led to victory. His knowledge in family law is very strong and he is worth every penny. I would recommend Eric to anyone who is struggling with custody issues who feel that there is no hope. Thank you God for putting him in my path. Eric, my family and I will always be grateful. God bless you.

Custody Battle

I hired Eric Willie to assist me in court after being served with paperwork by my ex husband for custody. Eric got right to work by transferring the case to the bastrop county since we had been living there for 3 years. He spoke very frank with me and I appreciated that. He told me exactly what could... and couldn't do. We just had our court date yesterday and I was extremely nervous. I suffer from PTSD and severe anxiety. He reminded me to keep a hold of my emotions. I thought I would lose my daughters because of my mental illness. Eric's line of questioning with my ex husband was awesome. He knew what questions to ask. I believe that he worked hard for me and it was well worth the retainers. There's no way I could put a price on my daughters. We won the court hearing and I get to keep custody of my daughters. What I thought was great was when he said if I started to get anxious to squeeze my husbands hand or his arm if needed be. I did both while the judge was talking waiting to hear his decision. I'm completely satisfied with the work he did for my family. I couldn't have asked for better because I believe he is the best at what he does. His staff was great. My concerns were always addressed at any time day or night with Eric responding personally. He responded over Christmas break. If I started to worry he would always put my mind at ease that things would be ok. I will continue to use him for any future issues, hopefully there won't be any. Thanks Eric and thank you to your staff. You definitely have a great family there!

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.
