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.

EXCELLENT

I had the opportunity to have Eric represent me twice for child custody and support cases. He was incredibly through and knowledgeable in his advice as well as counsel. He represented me in a professional manner in and out of the court room. I highly recommend him.

I don't think I could ask for better

Eric Shapiro was recommended to me by a mutual friend and I was a little nervous at first but he more than reassured me. Eric made sure that we focused on the best case scenario for not only the kids but the pets as well. He was responsive and caring making sure I felt heard and that my ex wife's p...arty felt respected. He made sure that I was well advised on the situation. I am a meticulous person making sure all the details are hammered out and he followed through. He met with me several times in person and this only reassured me more that he was the right choice. Not only was his council informative but also humorous at times making the situation less tense. The results could not have been better we are in the best situation after the divorce and the kids are in a stable place. There is no "winning" with divorce but I don't think I could have asked for a better situation. I appreciate all his hard work but you should take him on yourself and see the results.

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.

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.
