They delivered on their promises, and took care of my case in a very professional manner. No hidden costs or surprises at the end. If I ever need another divorce, I know where to go! UPDATE: I did need this firm again. And again Eric & Heather delivered another successful outcome for me. Having confidence in this firm took all of the stress out of an otherwise very stressful situation. Next time I need help I will be calling Eric

Eric Willie is an amazing attorney. I met him several years ago and thought he was a very nice person. When my husband asked for a divorce I went straight to Eric. He has walked with me each step of the way in a very stressful, difficult situation. He was patient and kind and supportive with me. In court he was on top of his game, very professional, and ultimately victorious. I went in with a less than a 50% chance of winning my move-away case, and the jury came back with a unanimous decision in less than 30 minutes. I highly recommend Eric Willie, and thank him for all he has done for my family. UPDATE: I ended up having to return to court to finalize the divorce due to the inability of my ex-husband to negotiate a settlement through our attorneys. Once again Eric Willie was fantastic in the way he handled my settlement with the opposing counsel and with the judge. He has patiently explained all options to me and fought for me to the end. Since I won my case to move away, it was likely I would be penalized severely in the financial aspect of the divorce. However, Eric fought hard and was able to negotiate a much better settlement for my daughters and myself. Divorce is by far the worst thing I’ve ever been through. I cannot say enough great things about Eric and how much I appreciate all he has done for my daughters and me. He has been a friend and advocate and has fought hard for my daughters and me. We look forward to starting our new adventures. Thank you so very much for all you’ve done for us Eric Willie!

I was referred to Eric specifically as an expert lawyer who could untangle my convoluted custody case. Eric took over my case in the middle, from a previous lawyer who had done a terrible job and made plenty of ridiculous decisions. Eric was able to sort through all the complications and extraneous details of what had occured so far, and forge a straight, clear path to our goal. He was patient and unruffled as the other side tried to dodge and stall, and plainly explained my options at every step. Eric is a formidable force who doesn't back down, and was able to settle our case in mediation instead of in a trial, a feat I thought impossible, due to the character of the other side. His knowledge of law is thorough, and his knowledge of Travis county specifics is unparalleled. Throughout our process, Eric really listened to me and took the extra time to ask about my doubts, which I appreciated greatly and made the process so much less stressful. I don't think any other lawyer could have done such a stellar job. Thank you, Eric!

When I hired Eric he was very friendly and assured me he could helped me with my case. I provided him with all the documents he needed, and on the court date he failed to present all the evidence to the judge. He is irresponsible, does not listen, arrogant, and never answers or returns calls. Don't waste your money or time with him.

Well all I can say , is Eric thank you very much. After being married for 28 years coming from California. Divorce can be and is a very stressful and yes even scary thing even for me , After consulting with a few different attorneys . I found myself most comfortable with Eric for a few reasons ,one his experience wanting to know about my family about the relationship the good the bad and the difficult . I didn't feel like I was just another case for him ,he was concerned about my well-being my family's well-being and being very sensitive to the situation. Thinking that I was going to be in store for one heck of a roller coaster ride Eric went into detail and explain to me the process of divorce here in Texas which was quite different from California thank God. Eric helped getting my family and I threw this process in a very timely very affordable process what I thought was going to be very long and difficult and extremely expensive turned out to be the complete opposite and I credit that tremendously towards Eric's knowledge and the way he handled and represented me . I also cannot say enough about his staff his paralegal Heather is truly a godsend the things that she put up with through all my emails and I give her a tremendous amount of of credit and patients they really got me through a difficult time but help me get in a better place thank you Eric and your staff Sheldon.

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 relationship 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.

Eric is a straight shooter. He knows the law and doesn't get lost in the emotions that a family law case can involve. I would recommend him to anyone needing a family law attorney. When I was referred to Eric, I was afraid of what might happen, sick over the battle my kids were being drug through, and at my wit's end. Eric's no-nonsense approach, his knowledge of the law and his confidence in his own ability to present the facts in court enabled me to relax, and endure this very long, tedious, frightening process. I was able to focus on parenting my children and living my life instead of feeling like I had to fight the court battle myself.

He’s a very experienced attorney with incredible people skills. He has the ability to take a difficult situation and somehow make it bearable.

Eric has represented me on multiple occasions in matters of child support modification, modification of visitation orders, and estate planning. On every occasion, he has been straight-forward and honest with me about my options. He always takes the time to patiently answer my many questions, either in person, by phone, or via email. Issues of visitation and child support are always emotionally charged, and I appreciate Eric's quick responses - he understands that while a case in family court may just be a number on a docket to many, it represents an important and stressful unanswered question in his client's life. In 2013 and 2017, Eric represented me in response to my self-employed ex-husband's petitions to lower child support amounts, and both times, Eric was able to persuade the court that my ex's claims of having very little income were inaccurate and misleading. Eric suggested to the court that if his low-income claims were true, then my ex was underemployed and child support amounts should not be lowered or nearly eliminated, as my ex was requesting. On both occasions, Eric was successful in persuading the court to maintain child support at the highest possible amount. In 2013, my ex-husband claimed that I interfered with his visitation with our two children on two occasions, and he filed a motion for enforcement, requesting that the court imprison and fine me as a consequence. The visitation order that we had in place at the time was unclear and left much room for interpretation, which resulted in constant disagreements about when visits should begin and end, who should be driving the children, and even whether or not certain visits should take place. After my ex realized that his motion would likely be thrown out of court if we ever stepped in front of a judge, he requested that we each agree to drop the case. At that point, I had already retained Eric to represent me and I knew that if the wording of the visitation order remained the same, the conflict between me and my ex would simply continue. I asked Eric what my options were, and he suggested that we not agree to drop the case, and that instead we request a modification of the order, which would first go through mediation. Eric represented me during the mediation, and as a result, every change that I requested be made to the order for clarification was made, and none of the changes that my ex requested during the mediation were made. What started as an intimidating motion by my ex to have the court punish me for interfering with visits that were not clearly specified, resulted in a clearly-worded new visitation order that has all but eliminated conflict, thanks to Eric's ingenuity. Eric also assisted me with estate planning and helped me and my current husband put together our wills, set up a living trust, and put our medical directives into place. He was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate through all of the difficult questions that needed to be asked in order to establish our plan. We are grateful for his help and expertise with that process. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone seeking a conscientious and effective family law attorney. Jeannette Montgomery

Eric represented me in an emotionally draining divorce case. When I approached Eric, I stressed to him that due to the nature of the marriage prior to the divorce, my goal was to get it done as quickly as possible. Right away, I could tell he was someone who was experienced and cared about his clients. Eric and his team were compassionate and their attention to detail was fantastic. Furthermore, they kept me informed about what was happening every step of the way, which was important to me as I was in a state of panic basically the entire time. They got my divorce done in a reasonable time, despite the opposing side's attempts to stall and prolong the case. Not only did he get it done quickly, but he surpassed my expectations in terms of what I wanted at the end of the divorce. Divorce is never an easy thing. Two people whose lives were intertwined are forced to rip (their relationship) apart. However, I can honestly say that I was both confident and thankful I had Eric and his team on my side.

A custody battle is like being thrown into a meat grinder with ghost peppers and dynamite when two people cannot come to a FAIR agreement. Sometimes even when you do, things just seem to fall apart. That’s why you can’t bargain bin shop when you are looking for representation. Inexperienced lawyers may be aggressive, smart and convincing, but they lack the working knowledge of what battles are worth fighting and which ones are not (battles = $$$$$$$$). Eric has over 25 years of LITIGATION EXPERIENCE and he didn’t keep representing clients to lose. He likes winning. He is smart, tactically aggressive, emotionally attached and therapeutic. Do you know who are you fighting for? I will answer your question for you…..you are fighting for your rights to your life (i.e. your children and their well-being). This process is all about perception, and you need a lawyer like Eric to paint a true picture of you before anyone can sling mud on it….but you have to listen to him and truly absorb what he is saying to you (just as he does for you). This is an endurance contest, but first strike is crucial. Choose, but choose carefully…for as the true lawyer will bring you salvation…the false one will take it from you. Choose Eric. Call him now. Stop reading this and call him now.

After a lot of research i retained Eric in regards to be represented in a divorce. Eric made me feel very comfortable on the first visit and it was obvious he was well versed as an attorney but even more familiar with the Travis county system. He explained that he represented me and gave me options and would do what I needed after explaining my options. I explained what i was looking for in a Lawyer and he understood my situation. Even though my case probably wasn't the biggest on his schedule, he helped me out through the process. The most important aspect with dealing with Eric was he gave me his personal number and returned my text messages even on the weekend and on vacation. This was the most important part, especially when i had questions about my case. I would recommend Eric to others going through a tough part of their life.
