Eric Cheshire is not only smart or helpful as other stated, he is a GOD sent lawyer who I believe will assist anyone in need of legal matters. Initially, I hired a lawyer at Palm Beach Lakes Blvd,. who treated me without respect regardless she was paid. In the middle of the case she dropped out without warning, didn't give time for me to seek another lawyer and she demanded her last payment immediately. I didn't know what to do, and I prayed to GOD for help and I was directed to search the internet where I found Eric. I contacted him and almost immediately he answered and listened to my needs. Not to mention, I lived in another country, but the case was filed in Florida. He took over my case and helped me through to the end. The first time I met him face to face was the day of my mediation, all the rest of the time we communicated via emails and phone calls. I commend Eric Cheshire without reservation and I would like to also leave the following of what good lawyers do as an example as Eric. Proverbs 31:8-9"Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy." May GOD bless him and his family.
I hired Mr. Cheshire for what I believed would be an open/shut custody case. Thank God I hired Eric, because my ex has done everything imaginable to fight me over custody, and Eric has managed to beat him at every turn! Eric has been honest and level headed with me and given me great advice!
Attorney Eric C. Cheshire has diligently litigated for the rights of individuals, for over 25 years, in all areas of Divorce and Family Law in the state of Florida. Attorney Cheshire understands how to win cases because he has time-tested knowledge of Florida law and how it applies to everything from alimony-spousal support and child support to division of property and Florida child custody. This knowledge and expertise, along with unwavering integrity and commitment to his clients have earned Attorney Cheshire the reputation of a highly successful advocate and litigator.
Attorney Cheshire and his firm are highly dedicated to consistently providing competent, forthright and professional legal representation to all persons with legitimate claims or legal dilemmas requiring specialized and knowledgeable counsel. We litigate on the trial and appellate levels but make every determined effort to promote settlement.
All of the firm’s clients, whether their case is large or small, deserve and receive a commitment to their case, attention to details, frequent updates, and professional courtesy. As new laws and procedures come into effect, Mr. Cheshire and his staff inform clients of these changes or additions to keep them informed and up-to-date so that the best possible choices are made on their behalf.
We understand that divorce brings emotionally charged issues that cause clients a great deal of stress. Accordingly, clients seek out an attorney, like Mr. Cheshire, who appreciates the sensitive nature of their issues and aggressively litigates on their behalf.

A parents review
Eric Cheshire represented our daughter during this difficult time of ending her marriage. His guidance, gentle nature, eagerness to help keep things on a low stress level, professionalism and great patience gave us great assurance that her legal issues were in wonderful hands. Eric is both a "gentle man" and a "gentleman" . We appreciated all he did for our daughter and grandson. May God Bless him and his clients always - He goes above and beyond to help his clients get their lives back in order both emotionally and financially ... thank you for your kindness in that area.
Sincerely,
The thankful parents of one of your clients

Compassionate but gets the job done!
Attorney Cheshire handled my divorce with the greatest of ease. I’ve used him in the past and am a returning client each and every time I have a legal issue. He’s top notch in my book and I’d recommend him to anyone who is in need of a lawyer.

19 months of chaos
Mr Cheshire is an exemplary attorney. He is firm but fair and will protect your rights in difficult cases. I felt comfortable and relaxed in mediation because I knew he would protect my rights as a parent. He fought hard for a fair and equitable divorce for me. I voted for freedom that day. Mr Cheshire is a kind and gentle man and very easy to speak to. He also is a very knowledgeable attorney. He will stand up for what is legally fair and right not just for you but for everyone involved, which is most important when children are involved. Most importantly, he has a stellar reputation in our area. If you need representation in a contentious divorce, he's your guy. I spent 19 very long and stressful months working with him and I have no regrets.

Eric's Work
Eric was very transparent when it came to legal issues and explained the law in layman's terms- something alot attorneys fail to do. He is a true advocate who does not practice for the money, but for justice. Thank you!

One happy client!
I hired Eric Cheshire to represent me in my divorce case about a year ago. I had been married to my husband for 6 years. Eric was able to get me everything I wanted in the divorce, I was able to keep the house, my vehicle, many of the assets in the home, and was also awarded alimony. I could not be happier with his negotiation skills and presence in the courtroom.

A true advocate.
Although everyone believes thier circumstances are the most difficult, mine truly were. Eric has the talent of being able to listen before he speaks. He was effective in and out of court with the judge, the opposing council and me. My case has reached a righteous and reasonable conclusion under Eric's patient and judicious care.

If I could give 10 stars I would! Wonderful Adoption Attorney!
It is with great pleasure that I write a review for my attorney, Eric Cheshire. Eric is an outstanding adoption attorney! I had so much anxiety and Eric unlike other lawyers who only care about their own bottom line really cared about my family! Eric Cheshire is such a kind and caring human being. He did so much more than just be my lawyer, he is compassionate, highly intelligent, very optimistic, spiritual and had a wonderful way of communicating easing my anxieties... Unlike many other attorneys, Eric would answer my texts or phone calls in a very timely manner. He makes time to consult with you and answers questions honestly. He is firm and patient without being obnoxious or overly aggressive. He is genuine and has a heart full of empathy. This is the antithesis of how I see most lawyers. Eric Cheshire will go above and beyond. He cares a great deal about handling his clients with care. Eric made my dreams come true!!!! Adopting my child was the most important decision of my life and Eric Cheshire was very instrumental in making this happen. I highly recommend him and would not hesitate to use him again if I needed an excellent lawyer. If you want an attorney that really cares about your best interest, look no further! I feel incredibly fortunate to have found him!

He's On Your Side
Eric is an excellent lawyer. He is professional but takes care of you like you are family. He is very responsive and knowledgeable and works his hardest to assist you with the painful and difficult process of divorce. He helped me and I and my family are grateful for his assistance. I highly recommend him, not only based on his professional skills and experience, but because he really looks out for your best interests.

Eric Cheshire is the best Divorce attorney in the Palm Beach County.
I hired Eric Cheshire for my divorced which I was married for 20 years. Eric was able to keep my home (children all over 29). In the state of Florida it is very hard to be able to get your home and he did. He also got my attorney fees paid for and pay for my health insurance until I reach 62.
I would recommend Eric Cheshire to anybody that needs a great attorney in Palm Beach County. He was there for me during the dark times as well, he listened, and was very compassionate.
Thank you Eric in guiding me and listen to me and get me what I wanted.

awesome family lawyer
Very nice and helpful. Gave my husband his legal rights as a father to be able to see his son. Eric fought for our family to be together and he always checked in with us to see how things were going. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and family man. He loves his family and he loves his clients too.
