Professional, very efficient and the BEST!!!!

Mr. Shapiro helped reduce some of our headache that we were running into. We lived out of state and needed to get a Divorce process started and get it over with and Mr. Shapiro did just that for us. In less than 2 months everything was done with and finalized. Thanks to him we are living a peaceful ...life and I would 100% recommended him to any one that need legal services or assistance. Thank you so much for all your help and services you have provided to my family and I.

John E.- Custidy Case

I had to file / sue for custody of my son from the mother who had taken him out of state. Mr Shapiro worked for all the rights as a father the law offers. We had three court appearances, including the final trail. In every appearance, Mr. Shapiro was very prepared. He knew the judges, and even more i...mportant, he knew the law. He seemed to always be a step ahead of the defense attorney. He was very strategic in dealing with them. And in the end, that made a difference to the Judge. He also knew correctly how other cases would be ruled on based on the statutes. I mean cases that were in front of us while we waited to be called. When we finally went to trail, there were about 9 things I had on my list that I wanted legal rights to and just personally wanted. He got me 8 of 9. And the only reason it wasn't all nine is because it wasn't something the court could have decided on legally. I got all the rights to my son, and we are now together. I was very impressed with him as a trail lawyer. He seemed to frustrate the defendants attorney throughout, and the judge even spoke highly of his efforts on my behalf. I would highly recommend hiring Eric as your attorney. If I every have any other issues, I'll be going back to him and his expertise.. Get him before he get too booked to take on your case. He's worth every penny spent, and beyond money, I will forever be indebted to him for everything he did for me and my son.

Personable, caring, honest, and the BEST!

Eric was my attorney in my divorce in 2010. Not only was he respectful to my ex-husband and his attorney, but he guided me to think clearly in order to make my future "easier" as my ex and I had a young child together. He explained the importance of staying level headed and keeping my eye on the pr...ize, which was a fair life for our son. Eric also represented me a few years later in a family case involving my ex-husband. I thought he was a saint in the first case, but this case he truly fought for my son. No matter how mad I was or jaded I came across, he was able to bring me back down to earth in a very calm and comforting manner. Don't get me wrong, Eric Shapiro is tough as nails - but when it came down to the one person he really represented, it was my son. He educated and enlightened me in both of my cases. It sucks that it didn't work out with my ex-husband and we are friends today; but I am so blessed Eric represented me. Funny thing, whenever we were in court every single attorney in the courthouse knew who he was and gave him immense respect. Even my ex-husband's attorney. He is respected among his peers and has great class. If you are looking for an attorney who is wise, fair, smart, and will not take advantage of you - Mr. Shapiro is your guy. He truly cares about family and the future of children in divorce cases.

Highly skilled & I highly recommend Eric.

I had a very difficult case requiring understanding international divorce and custody laws. Eric and his staff, specifically Robin Friend, were in constant communication with me throughout the entire process. They always kept me aware of hours billed, expenses and next steps in the process. I highl...y recommend him and his team!!! They made a very difficult and emotional process bearable.

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.
