Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

Richard was opposing counsel in a contested paternity matter; his client was actually located in Orlando and my client was located in Miami. Throughout the pendency of the case, Richard was engaging and responsive. He is a consummate professional, knowledgeable in the law and very reasonable to work with. As a result of our efforts, our clients were able to focus on the real importance: their child. We reached a relatively quick and amicable settlement, and minimized our clients’ legal expense and stress that oftentimes comes as a biproduct of domestic cases. In the end, our clients are committed to co-parenting. It could not have been a better result for them. I would highly recommend Richard as a family law attorney in the south Florida area.

Richard and I recently opposed each other in a real estate dispute. Each of our clients' respective positions had strengths and weaknesses. He was a tough and informed adversary and professional at all times. Richard's matter of fact approach and clear headed analysis of the parties' respective positions helped us reach settlement prior to litigation being filed. The settlement was fair and far more efficient and less costly for the clients. Richard is a lawyer a client can trust.

I endorse this lawyer. Rick and I co-counseled a very complicated matter. He is an amazing family law attorney and litigator. He is also very professional and works well with adversarial opposing attorneys and opposing parties. It was such a pleasure working with Rick and he is my "go-to" man when I have any complicated questions as he knows the law inside and out.

I have known attorney Ric Gaines for many years, after having first been introduced after Ric came highly recommended by another attorney with whom I worked. Our relationship began with networking, then developed into Ric handling certain cases for my clients, and then I retained Ric for a personal matter. For years Ric has been professional, thoughtful and ready, willing and able to assist on any matter I throw his way. Furthermore, working with Ric on a personal basis has made a typically unpleasant situation very easy to deal with. I strongly recommend attorney Ric Gaines.

Richard is an excellent efficient and effective attorney.
