Irving Gaines who I have known since my childhood. He was an extraordinarily wonderful man, kind, empathetic, yet strong, a man of the highest integrity and an inspiration to me. God bless his soul.

I worked for Mr. Gaines in the early 1970's and he was a brilliant, hard working attorney. His knowledge and expertise in medical malpractice and personal injury work was stellar. He was a driving force for the acceptance of "A Day in the Life of" into medical malpractice trials and would not hesitate to search out experts for depositions and testimony at trial. He was so very thorough and precise.

I had the pleasure of working with Irv over 40 years in the title insurance business. He was one of the finest lawyers I ever knew and was everyone´s first choice fir claims work. He was a true gentleman and I was proud to know him. I will keep good thoughts for his family
