Boutique law firm emphasizing Family, Matrimonial & Commercial litigation now open in South Florida

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. - Sept. 16, 2014 - PRLog -- Recognized as one of South Florida’s Top Lawyers by the South Florida Legal Guide, and after nearly nineteen (19) years of working at other law firms, Richard H. Gaines announced the opening of The Gaines Law Firm (http://www.gaineslawfl.com), P.A., conveniently located in the heart of South Florida – Coral Springs.

Catapulting his legal profession into his own hands, Gaines will continue his practice, emphasizing family and matrimonial law and commercial and business-related litigation.

The Gaines Law Firm is on a mission to deliver excellence to its clients, through honesty and integrity, and by identifying and vigorously pursuing its client’s goals.

“When dealing with sensitive disputes such as divorce, child custody, domestic violence and elder abuse, for example, it’s important to create a legal environment that brings trust and assurance that these matters will be dealt with professionally and efficiently, and when warranted, aggressively,” Gaines said. “Creating this law firm has allowed me to truly grasp my client’s needs to deliver the legal services they want, in the manner in which they want their cases handled.”

The Gaines Law Firm’s broad family-related practice includes representing clients in matters such as divorce, paternity, child support and alimony, custody and timesharing, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, civil domestic violence, step parent and close-family adoptions, temporary legal custody agreements, incapacity and guardianship, and probate administrations.

“With an estimated 40 to 50 percent divorce rate (http://www.apa.org/topics/divorce/) in the US, and with Florida ranked (http://www.wpbf.com/news/south-florida/florida-among-us-s...) among the highest States with divorced couples, families are in desperate need of trusted and honest legal services dedicated to fostering a just, smooth transition whenever possible,” Gaines stated.  “I provide that to my clients.”

The Gaines Law Firm also represents clients in various commercial, contract, and business-related disputes, including probate and trust litigation (Will and Trust disputes), elder abuse, commercial landlord-tenant matters, and private (not bank related) foreclosure matters, including lien establishment and foreclosure.

Although the new firm primarily handles cases in South Florida, including Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, the Firm represents clients state-wide.
