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 January 2016 to represent me in a family law matter. On the front end, he was very sympathetic and good talker. In reality what I experienced is that he was slow to follow-up with me personally, opposing counsel, or the court, for that matter. He filed an important motion ...outside the term of the court despite my numerous pleas for him to do so. He was previously cited by the Georgia Bar and what I experienced is exactly what he was disciplined for - he is not attentive to detail and he has no staff. He received previous reprimands and letters of admonition. When I terminated him, he sent me a bill and raised his hourly rates. He could not produce a properly maintained file which resulted in additional legal fees to pay for work that I had already paid for. I highly suspect the positive reviews written on this site.

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.

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.
