About
Rick is an accomplished attorney who has been practicing law in South Florida for more than 35 years. He brings a unique background to his practice, specializing in Marital and Family Law. His early career as a Criminal Defense attorney allowed him to hone his skills as a seasoned litigator, an architect of conflict resolution and negotiator. Regularly listed in Florida Trend Magazine’s “Legal Elite”, The Wall Street Journal’s “Top Attorneys In Florida” and a Florida “Super Lawyer” for marital and family law, Rick handles high profile clients, complex family law cases, and sensitive Family Law mediations. Rick’s success comes from his dedication to serving his clients with exceptional attention. It is his respect for the law, his devotion to the families and clients he serves, and his continued service to his community that makes him one of the most sought after South Florida Family Law attorneys. Before being recruited by SMGQ to lead their Family Law Practice Group in 2012, he was the managing partner for several successful boutique litigation firms. In mid 2016 he moved his Family Law Practice to a new home with Greenspoon Marder Law, after being courted by the firm. His decision to move was based on GM Law’s ability to provide his practice extensive resources to offer his clients, while still aligning with his culture of attentiveness, responsiveness and creative solutions typically found only in smaller entrepreneurial firms. Rick and his expert firm will continue to serve families and clients with unparalleled commitment and intuitive counsel.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Richard and his company! I turned to many lawyers for help. Not a single one of many I contacted took on my case! Richard made impossible happen! The case was difficult and confusing. My divorce turned out to be an annulment, that could later result in deportation ... Richard's professionalism saved me! This is an attorney with a capital A! He won the case in no time! I sincerely thank him for the quality of services provided and his professionalism as well as his staff! I wish him good luck and further prosperity!
I was the interpreter for one of Mr. Preira's clients and was deeply touched by his professionalism, care and overall human qualities that are very hard to find these days. Mr. Preira successfully resolved my client's complicated lengthy case, was always very honest and upfront about possible outcomes and risks being taken. He was on top of the case and managed to complete a huge workload quickly and effectively. Over the years I have worked with a myriad of attorneys and can wholeheartedly confirm that the level of service, professionalism, attention to detail and care that Mr Preira and his amazing staff are providing is by far one of the best I have experienced.
There are not enough stars to praise attorney Richard Preira. He has helped my mother and I in her divorce and has gone above and beyond to obtain the best results. We are happy clients. We are very lucky to have him handling our case. I commend him and his staff.
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 extremely 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!
Richard was able to do the magic for me. It was a very complicated case and everything needed to be done pretty fast. Richard and his team have done a great job: 1) set up the meeting with me on a very short notice 2) review my case and give appropriate advice 3) negotiate with my ex-husband's lawyer on my behalf 4) present my interests in the court and what is the most important 5) solve this for the best outcome for myself! I am really grateful to Richard and his team for the excellent and very professional service and personal approach to me and my case!
Rick is a superb family law attorney who will undoubtedly be of tremendous benefit to your case, as he was in my case. Not only is Rick an exceptionally bright litigator, with creative, sophisticated legal strategies that seem to just flow out of his mind effortlessly. But in addition, he is very responsive to attempts to reach him and is super cordial. Believe me, it is not every day that one finds all of these qualities in one attorney! I did my homework before picking Rick, as I have hired several attorneys and have witnessed the work of many other attorneys in the community. I can attest that Rick is one-of-a-kind -- a truly brilliant legal advocate and a mensch all wrapped up into one. You won't regret hiring Rick. And if he is on the other side, I would definitely worry...
Going through a divorce is never easy and often messy. Rick and is team were very professional and understanding. Their attention to detail and case preparation was outstanding. I truly appreciate Rick’s no-nonsense approach when handling the ex’s attorney. Now that the dust has settled and the divorce is in the rear-view mirror, I can honestly say that hiring Richard Preira and his team was one of my best decisions.
Rick is a great listener. From my first meeting with him, he worked to understand my situation, and guided me through the difficulties of a failing relationship. Legally, he offers a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge. Personally, he offers great insight and was available at all hours to lend an ear and advice. I am grateful for all he did to resolve my situation.
I hired Rick Preira because my son's mother was not allowing me to spend enough time with him. Rick was only concerned for my best interest the moment he took this case. He is an amazing, well-educated attorney with a great team behind him! He goes above and beyond to make sure the judge understands what's happening. The judge so clearly respects him and his colleague, attorney Cristina Cossio. They always return my emails and phone calls. I highly recommend Rick at GM Law and thank him and his amazing team for everything they are doing for me and my son!
Rick did an excellent job during my divorce case. He always responded to my telephone calls, emails and texts, day or night. He is smart, well-prepared and respected in court. I should know, I am an attorney myself. Rick was especially effective in shutting down my husband's attempts to bully me and use my children as pawns. He is tough but always put my best interests first.
