New frontier

Fort Myers isn't the kind of town where you might expect attorneys to push the legal envelope, but Luis Insignares is busy doing just that.

Insignares is one of a small group of attorneys considered a foremost expert in Florida on the issue of same-sex family law. The Florida Supreme Court may soon hear the case of a woman he represents in a same-sex divorce case that could set a precedent in the state.

Already considered one of the best family law attorneys in the region, Insignares, with a two-person practice, is candid about representing same-sex couples. “In Fort Myers it's unusual,” he acknowledges. “This is a conservative area.”
