Profile

Maria-Elena Cheshire is the Principal lawyer and advocate at Cheshire Legal. Having been admitted to the English Bar in 1989; she has specialised in the practice of Criminal Law since that date. Transferring to become a Solicitor in the UK in 1992 provided Maria-Elena with the opportunity to be instructed directly by clients and have control and autonomy over her clients’ cases.

Working initially in London at the English Bar and subsequently, with specialist Criminal Solicitors in Bristol and Oxfordshire, Maria-Elena has obtained a wealth of experience in all types of criminal cases involving drink-driving offences, theft, handling, burglary, indecent assault, rape, armed robbery and murder to name but a few examples.

Maria-Elena assisted Counsel at the Old Bailey in the first case of consensual masochistic sexual assault.

Upon immigrating to Western Australia, Maria-Elena has worked for five years for the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions prosecuting federal offences. Such cases involved frauds against Centrelink, Medicare, the ATO and Australia Post, quarantine offences, importation of child pornography, importation of drugs and people smuggling.

Maria-Elena has established Cheshire Legal to offer clients charged with criminal offences friendly, professional and clear advice and representation in court. Cheshire Legal will assist clients with their cases regardless of the nature of the offence.

Maria-Elena believes passionately in the presumption of innocence and that people are deserving of the best possible legal representation.
