About J. Eric
J. Eric Chisholm took a straightforward path through New England classrooms. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Salem State College in 2000 and completed his law degree at Suffolk University Law School the same year. The two degrees arrived in quick succession and established the academic base for a courtroom career.
He entered private practice in the years that followed. Early roles included positions at Doherty, Cella & Keane LLP and Curtin, Murphy & O Reilly, P.C., both in 2004. That year marked a move into firms that handled a range of civil matters. In 2006 he joined Kantrovitz & Associates, P.C., where he continued as a lawyer and handled client work across litigation and administrative matters.
In 2018 he formed Chisholm Law LLC and became owner. Creating his own firm allowed him to manage cases from intake through resolution. The firm location is listed under his offices. He remains the principal at Chisholm Law LLC and oversees the legal work that comes through the office.
He is licensed to practice in Massachusetts and is admitted to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Those admissions allow him to represent clients in both state and federal venues, and to handle appeals at the regional circuit level.
Professional affiliations appear regularly in his profile. He has been a member of the Massachusetts Bar Association since 2004 and holds a current membership in the National Organization of Social Security Representatives. These associations connect him to peers who practice in administrative law and civil litigation, and they supply ongoing educational opportunities and resources.
Colleagues and clients see a lawyer who has moved through several firms and then into independent practice. That trajectory offered experience in firm settings and later the responsibility of running a small practice. He has balanced litigation in trial courts and work in administrative settings, and he has handled matters that require familiarity with federal court procedures.
He maintains his practice through Chisholm Law LLC and continues to accept matters that fall within the jurisdictions to which he is admitted. His current practice includes representation in Massachusetts state and federal courts and before the First Circuit.
