Eric Shapiro

I hired Eric after I had been through 3 contempt hearings with my ex husband for not paying child support. He was able to come up with solutions going forward that my other attorney had not. I appreciate that he keeps communication to what is absolutely necessary so I didn't pay for a lot of unne...eded consultation. He has always been more than prepared for the hearings and I trust him completely. He assisted me with a child support modification and two more contempt hearings. I highly recommend him.

I hired Eric Shapiro in March 2016 to represent me in a child support modification action. A pretty straightforward case - that when I eventually hired the right attorney - saved me $6,000 annually. Eric Shapiro was not that attorney. Eric Shapiro is unorganized and unprepared. He would promise to... follow-up with paperwork, information, etc. I don't recall one instance where actually followed up with me unless I prompted him. Instead I spent my time managing him. I would ask about court filings. He would say, "I think so. Let me check." I quickly learned that this was his standard response/delay tactic. One time, he sent me something I requested and he forwarded me another client's divorce decree. I didn't see the review before I hired him. I wish I had. Read them. Divorce is a difficult situation and having the right attorney is important. I would not recommend Eric Shapiro.

I wish there were an option below Poor rating. On first contact, Mr Shapiro was engaging and responsive. Trying to handle a case in GA where I no longer reside was challenging at best; therefore, I needed to trust a local legal team to take charge and keep me informed. After the initial retainer ...was paid, there was some work completed and even an appearance in court that should have resulted in a much different outcome. Like an idiot, I him more to coordinate with the right officials to execute the judge's ruling. To date (going on 3 years now), I have received no response (i.e., numerous emails, letters, phone calls, etc.) on what actions or outcomes he took after the second payment. I even traveled to his office from out of state for a face to face. ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE -- unprofessional and did not meet my expectations. Funny twist -- My last conversation with him occurred when I called from the GA hotel. He answered his phone and when Mr Shapiro realized who it was -- he said he'd get back to me. That has now been over 3 years ago. Long story short. Mr Shapiro did not accomplish what was expected, he did not coordinate with the right county and state officials to resolve in his words what 'should be a pretty straight forward' case. I'm still waiting on escrow funds to be distributed back to me or the child support agency. They have no record of receiving any monies.
