I had the good fortune to be represented by May L. Cain throughout my exceptionally complicated international divorce proceedings, which lasted for years. The case was resolved only because of Attorney Cain's ingenuity, diplomacy, and persistence through the bitter end. She went above and beyond to advocate for me, and to achieve justice in my case, against the odds. I remain astonished at what Attorney Cain managed to accomplish for me during a terrible time in my life. Not only did she win financial compensation and legal protections for me and my child, but also she made me feel seen, heard, and validated. Her advocacy enabled me to move on both materially and emotionally. If you need a lawyer to fight for you, then you would do well to have May L. Cain in your corner. She is a force to be reckoned with, an expert on the law, and a true professional who is very well respected in the field. Her formidable presence and unwavering professionalism made the opposing counsel in my case look like a floundering amateur. Based on my own direct experience, I would describe Attorney Cain as remarkably tough, yet compassionate, accessible, and solution-focused. She genuinely cares to improve the welfare of her clients. I am more than satisfied with the excellent legal services provided by Cain & Snihur, LLP, and I wholeheartedly recommend May L. Cain as legal counsel. Frankly, she is THE BEST.

Every divorce is difficult. Mine was exasperated by an incompetent non-responsive attorney on the other side. May was able to find ways to bring him back around and move things forward. She was honest and straight forward in every conversation we had and let me know exactly how things were going to go throughout the entire process. And she was right. I recommend her to friends and to you without hesitation.

As a father I was handed a pretty unfair final judgement from the courts after taking my daughters mother to trial to fight for equal time sharing. I ultimately lost everything I was fighting for until I hired May to help me with an appeal. May represented me successfully on the appeal and then in the trial court afterwards. It was an uphill battle but she fought and fought to get me more time sharing with my daughter and my child support adjusted correctly. A pit bull in courtroom who knows the law and the system very well and will fight to make sure you get what you are owed. My only regret was not finding May quick enough to help me with my initial trial. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her for representation in the future if needed. Thanks May!!

May Cain first represented me over 25 years ago, for both family and civil litigation legal issues. I was so pleased with the level of attention and sound advice that not only do I continue to employ her whenever I need quality service, I recommend her to all close family members and friends. As with me, they never stop thanking me for the referral and sing her praises.

Judge Cain represents all my business interests, including litigation and appellate matters: both as defendant and as plaintiff. For over 20 years she has put the best interest of my business first, always gaining the best possible outcomes. She has a killer instinct in analyzing the pros and cons of the benefit of litigation thereby ensuring that my business interests end up in the healthiest possible position and saving us hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.

May assisted me with a complex case, involving enforcement of a post-divorce marital settlement agreement, and a civil matter with a domestic violence component. Family law matters can be exhausting, emotional, and costly. As I struggled to work through these issues, she understood exactly what was going on beneath the business points and was able to navigate through these issues with ease. She not only provided stellar legal representation, but she was also understanding and compassionate to how delicate these matters could be for all involved parties. As a victim of domestic violence, at times I was fearful of standing up for myself. May made me feel safe and reminded me of my courage. Her knowledge of criminal law and prior experience in the field played a big role in my case. I will be forever grateful for her strength, poise, and expertise.

I had the good fortune of finding and working with Ms. Cain to resolve a very tense divorce negotiation that could have easily dragged out for months. Her competency with respect to Florida Law is unparalleled, having been a judge herself. Her advice and guidance were an invaluable asset to me, and she handled the situation swiftly and with the utmost patience and professionalism without unnecessary litigation. I would trust Ms. Cain with any legal consultations and would gladly work with her again if the need ever arises. She has my full confidence and I would recommend her to my closest inner circle.

I went to May Cain to formulate & execute a Postnuptial Agreement between my spouse & I. Ms. Cain was very cordial & more importantly very genuine in her approach (not at all what I was expecting for a Lawyer). She is extremely thorough and concise and most importantly professional (which I find hard to come across these days in many professions, especially in Miami). I am very pleased and honored to have met & hired her as my attorney & I would do so again, in a heart beat, for any Family, Litigation circumstance that could arise. I recommend her to anyone who will be fortunate to come across her in their path. She is an huge asset to the Practice of Family Law in Florida.

I was going through a rough divorce and had spoken with a few attorneys but as soon as I met Ms. Cain, I knew she would do a great job. Ms. Cain made me feel very comfortable and was there for me every step of the way. She really listened to what I needed and I was very satisfied with her services. She is a former judge and is highly knowledgeable in her field. I highly recommend her and was very happy with the outcome!
