Background & Experience
Eric M. Willie has practiced family law in Central Texas since 1998 — 28 years — and is licensed by the State Bar of Texas (Bar No. 24043491, admitted April 8, 2004). He graduated from Pepperdine University School of Law. Over his career he has handled more than 4,000 trials and conducted over 1,500 mediations, and he understands that every case presents unique challenges and that the decisions made during a family law dispute can have lasting consequences.
His practice is built on personal communication, accessibility, and straightforward advice. Clients get an attorney who listens, tells them the truth, explains their options, and is there when they need guidance most — whether it is 8:00 in the morning or 8:00 at night. He handles divorce, child custody, child support, property division, spousal maintenance, adoption, protective orders, and enforcement and modification of court orders, with particular depth in military divorce and complex-asset cases.
His approach is direct and practical: resolve cases efficiently and keep clients out of the courtroom whenever possible. When a case must be tried, he draws on decades of courtroom experience, familiarity with the Travis, Williamson, and Hays county courts and judges, and an understanding of the opposing counsel involved. He prepares every case thoroughly and treats it as though it were his own.
Philosophy
"I believe the best representation combines honest counsel, careful preparation, strategic thinking, and a genuine commitment to the client. I treat every client's case as though it were my own, recognizing that behind every legal dispute is a person and a family facing important decisions about their future. My goal is to provide experienced, straightforward, and dependable representation — helping clients navigate difficult circumstances with confidence while protecting their interests at every stage."
