Introduction: We actually try cases. Not all attorneys have real trial experience. Not all attorneys are willing to go to trial. We have real trial experience and we are not afraid to use it. When the attorney you are up against does not want to try the case against you, we will give you an advantage. My clients come to me during the most difficult periods of their lives. Helping guide them through and get back on their feet is what gives me the most satisfaction.

Brett Metcalf has 100% saved my life! I was arrested for a DUI one night in April. I recently moved to Tampa a few months before my arrest where i was starting a new life for myself. I am 23 so this was a big deal for me leaving home to start a new adventure living here. I had fallen asleep at the wheel and was woken up by the police when they found me. Brett kept me informed, comforted me about the case when i was freaking out about what i was going to do with my life. I had my mind set on returning home to live back home with my parents. Brett used a great strategy and ended up winning my case. He was very confident about my case and let me know. If it wasn't for him and his words of encouragement i could be sleeping on my parents couch with a DUI on my record and little chance of obtaining a career i would want. Not only did Brett win my case but he got it completely dropped resulting in NO COURT FEEs, NO COMMUNITY SERVICE, & the best part was it resulted in a NOLLE PROSEQUI which means i had NO PROSECUTION. Many DUI cases that end up not getting convicted end up as a wreckless driving which i would of been happy with, But Brett went beyond my expectation getting me completley off the hook. I have so much gratitude for Brett. Exactly one day after i had found out the good news i had landed my dream job in Tampa with a top 10 company nationwide. I was worried about my background check though because it takes the court system a few days to process the Nolle Prosequi so i thought it would show up and i would lose the job. He reassured me that everything was going to be fine and (This is my favorite part about brett) Said he would write a letter to my recruiter explaining the details of the case and how everything unfolded. The fact that he would go out of his way after he won the case just showed how much he really cares about his clients. Luckily nothing had came up on my background check so i was able to start my dream job & begin to focus on my life in Tampa. So with that all being said Brett has gotten my case dropped, which allowed me to land my dream job. Without him i would be SLEEPING ON MY PARENTS COUCH with no idea what to do with my life in a cold nothern city. Now i'm living the dream working harder than ever with a second chance at life in beautiful sunny florida. What else can i say Brett saved me life and i am forever grateful for him.

I was charged with a misdemeanor for wreckless driving after I missed my exit on the highway and tried to drive in the grass back toward the exit. I know it sounds silly, but it was the last exit before a very, very long bridge across the ocean. Bret Metcalf represented me for my case, and he did an exceptional job! I chose Bret because of the good reviews that I saw on his profile on Thumbtack and for the fact that he was from the area where I got my ticket and was very familiar with how the Hillsborough County court cases normally go. I've never committed a crime my entire life, so needless to say, I was extremely worried about how it could affect my future if this were to go on my criminal record. Bret was very reassuring. He talked me through the whole process, and he really helped to calm me down. I had a lot on my plate at the time, so it made me feel much better to know that he was going to be able to get everything taken care of. I reached out to him a few times, and he always made sure to get back to me. When he wasn't available in his office, his partner Sam was always willing to help me with my questions and concerns. In the end, Bret was able to get my case dismissed in court with no additional fines, fees, or requirements and no criminal record! I don't think it can get any better than that! I truly can't thank him enough! If you are in need of a good attorney, I highly recommend Bret Metcalf and his firm.

First time I spoke to Bret I thought wow He was more intelligent than the four attorneys I spoke to to be fore him. Then he came to my house we spoke and I was correct. Not only was he the intelligent but he is just a great person. Now after the case is over not only is he the best attorney But I consider him a friend.
