Unmatched

An attorney who prioritizes his clients’ best interests over profit! From the very first conversation, my Lawyer, Eric, understood my situation without me needing to explain every detail. His knowledge and sharp instincts were evident throughout. He truly delivers on everything he promises, and his p...rofessionalism, responsiveness, and work quality are unmatched. I can’t recommend him enough! A good and KIND lawyer for the people! Thank you!

Review

Eric represented me during my divorce case and then for a contempt of court case. In both cases I found him to be very knowledgeable of the laws surrounding the case and familiar with the judge. Finally, I was pleased with the terms negotiated, and final outcome of the cases. I would recommend Eri...c Shapiro.

Divorce- Out of State

I was desperately in need of a divorce attorney as my ex lives in Atlanta and I love in Cali. Out of all of the attorneys I called Eric was by far the best. He answered all of my questions without the need to jump through the consultation hoops and reassured me that he would take care of me. He did a...n amazing job keeping me up to date with my case and made sure everything was settled and fair.

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.
