Richard Gaines helped me and my family deal with a financially and emotionally challenging inheritance settlement. His legal advice was solid, he was easy to work with and responsive, and he was a pillar of integrity and honest, moral advice when we needed it.

I have been working with the Gaines law firm on a complex business contract dispute case. I appreciated the efficiency, communications and professionalism. We won an enforcement of money judgment, resulting in a successful foreclosure. A great result in a very complex set of circumstances. All the best !

Tod Martin

Working with Richard was an absolute pleasure. He helped me resolve a case that I was beginning to lose hope for. He was quick to respond and draft the necessary documents in a short period of time. Highly recommend!
