Guiding families through Florida probate with clarity, compassion, and convenience.

Eric Preston is the founder of The Florida Probate Pro, PLLC, a fully virtual law firm dedicated exclusively to probate matters across the State of Florida. With over a decade of experience and hundreds of estates successfully administered, Eric understands that when a loved one passes away, families need more than just legal assistance—they need a steady, empathetic guide.

A native of New Smyrna Beach, Eric has deep roots in the community he serves. After earning his law degree from the University of Florida’s Levin College of Law in 2011, he began his legal career as an Assistant State Attorney in Florida’s 9th Judicial Circuit. In 2013, he joined his father at The Preston Law Firm, focusing on estate planning, probate, trust administration, and elder law. This experience laid the foundation for his client-centered approach and commitment to making the probate process as smooth as possible.


Recognizing the need for accessible and efficient legal services, Eric established The Florida Probate Pro to offer a fully remote probate experience. Clients benefit from secure online portals, flat-fee pricing, and prompt communication—eliminating the need for courthouse visits and ensuring a transparent process. Whether you’re in Florida or managing an estate from out of state, Eric is equipped to assist you every step of the way.


When not practicing law, Eric enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, hiking, playing guitar, and riding his rebuilt 2005 Yamaha V-Star.

Why Clients Choose Me

Choosing the right probate attorney matters. Here’s why my clients trust me to handle their probate case:

Most of my clients live outside Florida. I make it easy to handle everything from home. No travel. No courthouse. Everything is handled by phone, Zoom, e-mail, e-signature, and secure portal.

I have been successfully administering Florida probate cases for more than 12 years. Importantly, I don’t dabble. I focus almost exclusively on Florida probate cases. Over the years, I have built the knowledge base, skills, and relationships necessary to handle any situation that may arise as part of a probate case.

No hourly billing for ordinary probate matters. You’ll know the full cost up front — no surprises.

You’ll work directly with me — not a call center, paralegal, or associate attorney. The virtual nature of my practice allows me to take fewer cases and dedicate more time and attention to each client.
