Legal Career Day!

Our firm hosted high school students from SLW Centennial High School’s Legal Assistant Class at our Fort Pierce office after their tour of the Rupert J. Smith Law Library.

This class is offered to high school seniors and prepares them for real world tasks as legal assistants. Ms. Angela Baumgarten, a Florida attorney and legal educator, trained our most recent legal assistant Anahí Gonzalez (pictured third from right) who joined our firm almost one year ago as a high school student.

Our firm invites Ms. Baumgarten’s best students to apply to learn law from the bottom up and build skills and confidence for their professional futures. We look for emotional maturity, writing and communication skills, computer experience and a commitment for continued learning.

At least one of these students will be offered a part time entry level position while they are expected to attend college.

Special thanks to RJS law librarian Carmen Gallese who made this day wonderful.

Legal Career Day!

 

Relentless Independence.

Meet one of the twins – George L. Metcalfe, Jr.

George and his twin brother Justin were born 39 years ago when I was a second year law student at St. Thomas University School of Law in Miami.

As children, they were always a handful – with probing, sometimes deafening, unrelenting and independent thoughts which few others would dare to share. Some call it – “Pulling a Metcalfe!”

On February 4, 2025 George was welcomed as a Shareholder (partner) at Gunster, Yoakley & Stewart, P.A. – one of Florida’s premier business law firms.

George and both of his brothers and his sister, (Justin, Andrew, and Gabriella) each earned very high levels of successful accomplishments through their hard work, commitment, drive, relentless independence, and self sacrifices which make their families and loved ones very proud. They are growing fine children and families as well.

It is a parent’s joy to know that a child has grown into truly kind, caring and decent adults and they each have my enduring love, true admiration and respect for their gifts to our days.

Proud Papa.
