When my divorce case was dragging on with my previous lawyer, stuck in temporary motions and agreements - I chose Russell to take over my case. He promised me results, get the divorce done instead of wasting time and money on temporary agreements. And that is exactly what he did for me. He truly cared for my case, always gave me excellent advice and also knew how to deal with the opposing council in a very professional manner and preventing them from dragging the case on indefinitely. When it finally came to another court ordered mediation - he put in extra time working late into the evening, as our mediation went on for six hours (instead of the scheduled 3) to come to a full settlement. Now that I am divorced he is still helping me out to enforce the settlement agreements and going above and beyond for my rights. I could have not chosen a better lawyer, I highly recommend him. He has the experience, the knowledge, cares for his clients, and bills fairly. He is worth every dollar you spend on attorney fees.

Mr. Cheatham took over my divorce case in 2005 which had been previously mishandled by a Tampa attorney and resolved the matter quickly and fairly. This was quite a task and it saved me a large sum of money. I was so pleased, that I retained Russ several more times to assist with business and credit related matters. Russ helped me with real estate deals in which he always saved me more money in reduced closing costs than he charged in fees. Russ is always available to reach with questions or concerns. I have referred friends and associates to him numerous times.

I originally retained Mr. Cheatham in 1998 regarding a divorce and custody case. Mr. Cheatham has always been professional, responsive and communicated clearly with me about every aspect of my case. To date I have continued to use Mr. Cheatham as my ex-husband tends to file motions at least once a year for various reasons. It should be noted that my ex-husband is former law enforcement and is very educated in abusing the legal system in spite of the life time Domestic Violence Injunction issued against him. I have referred many people to Mr. Cheatham and would recommend him for the best legal representation available. There has been no need to seek other legal representation after hiring Mr. Cheatham.

Russ has been my grandfather and grandmother's lawyer for years. My grandparents have used his services for family law and real estate issues and have total confidence in him. I was recently tasked with a family issue involving real estate and because of my grandparents positive experiences with Russ I contacted him. Russ agreed to help me with my situation and he has been 100% responsive, knowledgable and has kept me updated on the situation.

My divorce was very difficult and my exhusband was extremly vindictive. Russ was always there thru the whole thing acting in my behalf and keeping a buffer between my ex and I. I would not want to go thru another divorce but if I did I would call Russ.

My Daughter was 6yrs old couldn't read,had no electricity in their home,missed 68 days of school the last year,failed 1st grade,had very little clothes and a mother & step father that where addicted to crack cocaine . Because my ex in-laws had money I went to court and lost 3 times prior & payed $150.00 a week in child support with visitation 2 week ends a month. After finding Russ within 6 months I had full custody of my daughter & her mother had SUPERVISED visitation once a week only!! My Daughter is 16 now & goes to high school, she is a A-B student,a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do,a Sgt.in the Army ROTC & is joining the Marines. There is NO doubt in my mind that with out Russ she would be growing up in that horrible neighbor hood,strung out on drugs her self & pregnant too I'm sure. He gave a 6yr old girl another chance at life by getting her out of a extremely bad situation when no one else could. I owe Russell Cheatham a debt of gratitude that I will never ever be able to pay back! He gave me my Daughter,how can you possibly ever repay that?

I called Mr. Cheatham on a Friday night and explained my situation and the urgency of expediting the issue. Without hesitation, he requested I email the documents to him and he would call me the next day (on a Saturday!!!); his word was as good as his advice; as well, the service was incomparable! Hire him if you're seeking positive results!

The worst ever! You are better off going in with Micky Mouse as your lawyer. Never seen anyone so unprofessional. Didn't do one thing to help me- now I'm in debt! Best advise tell anyone and everyone you know to not retain this man. They are better off flushing hundred dollar bills down the toilet.

He was referred by my mother's friend. She said she spoke to him on my behalf and that I could send him $500 in case I needed his services for a real estate issue. I never met him or spoke to him personally, but on the advice of this friend I mailed him a check. When I called his office to advise him I would not need his services and would like my money back, he only refunded half of it, because he said he had to "open a file". It was not until I found that this whole situation was unethical according to the Florida Bar. It is when I threatened to call the Bar, he promptly refunded my money. I would avoid him at all costs.

When in court it was almost as if I didn't have a lawyer representing me. I spoke more than he did. That could be partially due to the abrasive manner of the judge but another lawyer I had pushed matters with the judge on my behalf. He did not discuss matters with me before the hearings and I asked him about a hearing I thought was scheduled but he said it was not on the docket. Even if the judge made an error with scheduling, myself and my ex knew the date but Mr. Cheatham did not. So the judge called Mr. Cheatham and held the hearing without me so I had no say in the matter which significantly impacted my case!
