You Need An Experienced Fort Pierce Family Law Lawyer For Tough Cases
Some family law cases, such as an uncontested divorce, are fairly straightforward. Many, however, are much more complex. High-asset divorce or contested custody cases, for example, require a family law attorney with significant experience.
I am attorney George L. Metcalfe, and I have been assisting the people of this area with Florida family law matters since 1988. At George Lambeth Metcalfe, P.A., you can rely on my experience and knowledge, no matter how complex your case may be. I am well-known for my dedication, compassion and experience in Florida family law cases.
Why Choose A Fort Pierce Family Law Attorney?
In addition to my 37 years of legal experience, I have an MBA, and I completed graduate tax study. I am admitted to practice in the U.S. Tax Court. This knowledge and experience allows me to resolve complicated divorce cases while protecting my client’s rights and interests. If you have a high net worth or sophisticated assets, I can help you seek a division of assets that is favorable to you.
I also know how valuable your time with your children is and that it is upsetting to think of losing that time. That’s why I fight hard for parents to have meaningful time with their children after a custody case, whether my client is the mother or the father.
While I can and do take cases to trial, I resolve most of my cases through negotiation or mediation. These alternatives to traditional courtroom litigation are typically less stressful and less expensive than going to trial. At my Fort Pierce, Florida, divorce law firm, I carefully consider each case and recommend the approach that is best for my clients. I will give you my thoughts on what will work for you, but the decision is ultimately yours.
Let’s talk today about how I can help you and your family through this difficult time. Contact a family law lawyer in Fort Pierce today at 772-292-0930.
