We have to protect this man at all costs! When I think about Mr. Shapiro, I see a loving family man who genuinely wants to help others. There were days when I became frustrated because my case wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted it to, but he was always there to reassure me, calm me down, and rem...ind me to trust the process. Mr. Shapiro doesn’t judge people. He looks beyond their circumstances and sees the good in their hearts and the good they want to put into this world. This man helped me get FULL CUSTODY of my 4-year-old son. There were nights I cried because all I wanted was to hold my son. I just wanted to be present in his life, raise him, protect him, and make sure he knew that his father was fighting every single day to be there for him. Mr. Shapiro is an exceptional attorney, not simply because he knows the law, but because he genuinely cares about the families he represents. He wants to see fathers and mothers have meaningful relationships with their children. He understands that sometimes a case is much bigger than paperwork and court dates. Sometimes, it’s about a parent’s heart and their desire to be present in their child’s life. There is nothing I could do in this world to fully express how much I appreciate this man. He’s not just an attorney; he’s a role model, a mentor, and someone you can learn so much from. Despite having a busy schedule and countless responsibilities, he never makes you feel forgotten. He truly has a heart of gold, and I wish there were more people like him in this world. Thank you, Mr. Shapiro, for believing in me, standing beside me, and helping me fight for what mattered most: my son. May God continue to bless you, protect you, and bless your family. You deserve every bit of the appreciation and recognition that comes your way. WE APPRECIATE YOU, MR. SHAPIRO!

Warning!!! Don't hire him!

Hired this guy for a divorce in 2024 and all I will say is don't do it. He takes the retainer and disappears, doesn't respond to calls or emails, doesn't respond to opposing lawyers or the court, doesn't file any paperwork or turns it in super late. Deadlines mean nothing to him. Take the negative re...views seriously because they are true. Disappearing with your money for weeks or months is his m.o.

Unmatched

An attorney who prioritizes his clients’ best interests over profit! From the very first conversation, my Lawyer, Eric, understood my situation without me needing to explain every detail. His knowledge and sharp instincts were evident throughout. He truly delivers on everything he promises, and his p...rofessionalism, responsiveness, and work quality are unmatched. I can’t recommend him enough! A good and KIND lawyer for the people! Thank you!

Great Work

This attorney Eric has really helped me in this time of facing a divorce and getting my son back into my custody from my ex husband. Eric started working on my case before he received any cash from me. That's when I knew he was the one for my case. His communication skills was excellent and his perfo...rmance in court. I am pleased with the outcome. I will recommend "My Attorney" to anyone that is facing a divorce.

Review

Eric represented me during my divorce case and then for a contempt of court case. In both cases I found him to be very knowledgeable of the laws surrounding the case and familiar with the judge. Finally, I was pleased with the terms negotiated, and final outcome of the cases. I would recommend Eri...c Shapiro.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2011.

Review Panel Reprimand issued in GA, 2011

updated on 03/01/2011

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case, the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
