Richard Joseph Preira

Going through a high-conflict divorce was one of the most emotionally draining and uncertain times in my life. Dealing with a narcissistic ex brought up so many fears, instability, and a constant lack of clarity about the future—but having Rick in my corner made all the difference. From day one, h...e was my safe space—steady, reliable, and always looking out for me. No matter how chaotic things got, I knew he had my back. His guidance wasn’t just legal; it was deeply reassuring, giving me the confidence to stand my ground and move forward. Even though the case is wrapped up, knowing Rick is still there if my ex stirs up more conflict brings me so much peace of mind. If you need an attorney who will truly fight for you and be your unwavering support, Rick is the one you want by your side.

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!

When it comes to navigating the complexities of family law in a highly contested divorce such as my own, having an extremely knowledgeable and highly experienced attorney is crucial. Richard J. Preira and his team excelled in these areas and exceeded my expectations. They handled my divorce in a ve...ry professional and compassionate manner and in a timely fashion. I began my journey with one attorney who was overextended and inexperienced in high conflict divorce. This prompted me to switch to Richard J. Preira which was the best move I ever made! I always felt valued and was always treated with kindness and respect, no matter how many questions or concerns I had. Rick and his team were always there for me. Their availability and responsiveness meant everything to me as I found this to be a very challenging and emotional process. For anyone in search of highly competent, professional, compassionate and experienced legal representation in the area of family law, I highly recommend Richard J. Preira.

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 childre...n 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

Look no further! Take time to read my personal divorce experience with Rick Preira and RCC Family Law, and you will not regret it. I am so thankful for a friend’s advice whose experience with Rick and his team was just as incredible as mine. I listened, I hired, and was happy to end with an extreme...ly positive outcome. Rick’s professionalism, legal expertise and brilliance in my divorce was unmatched. He has a kind and gentle manner, and still with respect, turned up the heat, way up, when extremely warranted. His superior legal experience made him ready and one step ahead when I faced challenges from a difficult spouse. Rick always made himself available to me especially when I was in panic mode. He was supportive and reassuring, answered all of my questions, and easy to communicate with. An incredible human being, Rick has compassion and kindness in his heart, truly a gift, and I felt it throughout my whole difficult process, including from his entire fantastic staff. I was fortunate to have Krystine also work with me on my case, a smart, conscientious, and quick to action attorney, who worked tirelessly with me on all of my legal case details. I truly appreciated her and the extra time she took to listen to me. I could not have asked for, or dreamed of a better group of people to work with and to be on my side. I definitely would not want to be on the opposing side of this team. Rick is a master of pulling a team together, not just within his law firm, but knows exactly the perfect outside and fair professionals to add to the mix, if and when needed. I cannot possibly thank Rick Preira and his great team at RCC Family Law enough for giving their all in doing the very best for me, and I will be eternally grateful!
