"Rick did an excellent job representing my interests during my divorce. Not only my assets, but also my timesharing rights with my children. He was extremely responsive to calls, emails, and texts, before, during, and after business hours, including weekends and holidays. As an attorney myself, I can attest that Rick checks all the boxes when hiring an attorney - intelligent, tough, well-prepared, a fighter, and respected in court. I highly recommend Rick to anyone who is going through a divorce. There is no better Family Law attorney!"

"My personal story is unique with my lead legal representation, Mr. Richard Preira. My name is Raquel Soto-Catalano and I wrote the Florida Bill and created the non profit to help families going through divorce who have children with disabilities, PESC (www.pescfamilies.org). Families who have children with disabilities face many barriers and experience hardships that many other families do not face. Common examples of barriers are a physical or educational environment that is not accessible. An environment Parents need tools to navigate especially when divorced. My Lead Attorney on my divorce was the Amazing Richard Preira. After interviewing many family lawyers, Mr. Preira showed empathy, kindness, and immediately formed the right team to support my individual needs. He also reminded me of my duties as a parent. His first request was that I take the then available Parent Stabilization Family Course to help me navigate coparenting. The second was to support me in my own comprehension and understanding of the law. To help me make educated decisions, accommodations were provided for recording our meetings for future playback and simpler explanations were kind and in target to assure this parent was making the right decisions for her family. Mr. Preira offered what I needed, empathy, honesty, kindness, and RESULTS. He further ensured I didn't make mistakes in how my own emotions navigated this process. The bottom line is to make rational decisions that are in the best interest of the children and the parents to support those children. Mr. Preira and team were the initial motivation behind my decision to help many other families in our state by writing a bill that would adapt the current parenting classes to include those parents of children with disabilities. My inspiration for this was the result of his team's work. The empathy, educational accommodations, kindness, patience and most of all the ability to use his creativity and years of experience to secure the needs of my family. As you make your decision to hire counsel for your divorce, if you are a parent, I encourage you to look for a professional in Mr. Preira. You will be in trauma, you kids will be in trauma, your ex will also be in trauma but there is a way to manage this transition with the skills that an experience, skilled, and empathetic attorney like Mr. Preira offers. The end result is transformational when the right Skilled professional and team is in place"

"I worked with Richard on a web related project. What I learned about Richard is that he shows a lot of class and cares about each and every client. Lawyers can be intimidating, but not Richard. He's easy to talk to, knows what he is talking about and all around great to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney to review a family law matter of any kind in Coral Gables."

"Rick is an extraordinary attorney and human being. I could not be more satisfied with his services and the truly personal touch with which he provided those services. My case was handled with precision and resolved quickly successfully with a well drafted motion to dismiss. I am impressed with his knowledge, responsiveness, and perseverance. His work ethic, his listening skills, dedication and professionalism make him stand out in his field. He even credited the outstanding balance in excess of my initial retainer!! My expectations were exceeded. I highly recommend him and his team."

"An Open letter: Hi Rick, I just wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for all the support, guidance, and generosity you have shown me throughout this process. Taking on my case was an incredible gift, and I truly can't thank you enough. Beyond the legal help, you gave me something even more valuable, the courage to move forward. You helped me understand that he is no longer in control, and that realization has given me a sense of strength and freedom that I didn't have before. While I know you won't be representing me moving forward, please know that your impact on my life has been huge. I will always be grateful for everything you and Martha have done."
