Excellent Attorney

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.

Eric Shapiro: Patience and Experience Galore

I hired Eric to represent me in my divorce. His experience was very helpful to me as he was very patient and walked me through the maze of a legal process. In these kind of stressful situations, it was good to have someone that can say - as much as you want to get this over with quickly, it will take... 8-10 months. He was spot on! I'd highly recommend him!

Unprofessional and unresponsive

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.

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.

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.
