About Us

The relationship you have with your attorney should feel like more than just a transaction. You deserve someone who listens, explains, and stands with you from start to finish. That’s what we do here.

Our History

Richard J. Preira & Associates was founded on the belief that family law requires more than legal knowledge—it requires emotional intelligence, patience, and practical clarity. With over 50 years of combined experience, our attorneys have handled complex divorce cases, custody battles, marital agreements, and more, always with a steady hand and a focus on what matters most to our clients.

Our Why

Divorce, custody disputes, and family court matters are deeply personal. We’re here not only to handle your case but to help you come out the other side stronger and more secure. Every step we take is guided by one goal: to protect your peace of mind while giving you clear, confident legal direction.

Our Commitment to You

You’re not just hiring a lawyer—you’re hiring a team that understands what’s at stake. We approach every case with the same three priorities:

Capable

We bring decades of concentrated family law experience—handling everything from high net worth divorce in Coral Gables to custody agreements and alimony disputes throughout Florida.
