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.

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!

Knows how to get a case done

Eric was my second attorney. My first attorney was not doing his job and my case had stalled. In comes Eric Willie. He told me his plan to get the case up and running again. He told me we could go to a judge and have the judge set deadlines. He did just what he said. Despite protests from my husband,... who did not want to get divorced, the judge agreed with Mr. Willie and set the proposed deadlines. Two months later this case that had been going on for nearly two years, was over. My husband was forced to settle. The outcome was great. Even better than what I expected. Thanks to Eric Willie and his staff.

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.

Great Lawyer

I hired Eric to do my divorce. I had talked to a few lawyers before calling him and after our initial consultation, I chose to hire him. He did everything he said he was going to do from the start. I was very hesitant as other lawyers I had worked with did not always follow through. Mr. Willie did... follow through. He had me in court and done with a very favorable outcome in 6 months like he said. He was reasonable and fair and I was always able to get i touch with him when I needed him. He also has a great support staff. When you need to hire an attorney, look no further than this guy. I highly reccomend Mr. Willie
