Client opinions matter and Miami Divorce Attorney George Metcalfe is committed to giving each client the attention that he or she deserves. New clients will see their phone calls are returned personally and promptly as George devotes time to teaching clients what is important in family court and to directing efforts that achieve the best outcome. Together, the client and attorney are able to weigh the risks, costs and likely outcome.
The firm does not encourage litigation when a settlement can be achieved, but it will not recommend settling a case if such settlement provides unfair results to the client. Although he is a capable and experienced litigator in court, George’s first effort is to settle matters in mediation and in non-adversarial manners. Reaching resolution in a cost-effective and expeditious manner is more important than harmful and expensive trials where the client’s future is determined solely by a judge. Winning and losing in trials to George is based more on the client, including consideration of cost, stress, future ramifications and satisfaction for the client. Not considering personal ramifications of decisions during divorce is costly. Less eventful matters of family law help the whole family heal and encourages resolution in a private office, not in a public arena.
