Brett is a Tampa native who returned home after law school to serve the community he loves. He started his career as a prosecutor at the State Attorney's Office in Tampa. There, Brett prosecuted over 5,000 cases, including DUIs, domestic violence, drug crimes, gun charges, and RICO cases. Most importantly, he tried over 100 cases to verdict during his time as a prosecutor.
When you have been arrested and charged with a drug offense, you need to think about your future. A drug conviction on your record means more than a few years in prison and fines. It takes away your opportunities and puts hurdles in your path. A drug conviction comes with a great deal of stigma and limits your educational and professional opportunities.
When you apply for a job, buy a house, or buy a car, a criminal record can harm your prospects and hurt your credit. One of the most frequent questions we hear from clients is whether or not they are able to seal or expunge their criminal record. If you either have something on your criminal history you wish wasn't there, or you want to keep something from going on your permanent record, we can help.
Your future is on the line when you face a violent crime conviction in Tampa. You could spend years in prison, pay a steep fine, and lose everything you worked to achieve. Even a misdemeanor conviction on your record could mean the loss of your gun rights, difficulty finding a job or housing, and other serious consequences.
Have you been accused of violating Florida firearms laws? Whether you have been charged or are under investigation, it is time to call an experienced firearms attorney. State and local authorities take gun and weapon offenses seriously, and you should not try to defend yourself. Assess all you options and protect yourself, call Brett Metcalf at (813) 258-4800 or contact us online to schedule a free, confidential consultation.

Mr. Metcalf was extremely informative throughout the entire case from the very first day. He assured me that I picked the right guy the moment that we met. Very professional, easy to talk to, and the best choice I could’ve picked for my family in time of need. Brett is definitely one of the good guys. Highly recommended- Thank you Brett

Brett was very professional and communicated to us that he had a really good game plan to overcome my legal issues. He obtained the best possible outcome for me, in that all charges were dropped. We spoke with many other Attorney's but when we met with Brett we knew he was the one for us. I would highly recommend Brett and his staff should you find your self needing any legal representation.

He did an amazing job for me in Polk County! When I got involved in a situation that needed a criminal lawyer I was terrified. I having only lived in Florida a few years was not prepared for the complexity of what my situation. I didn’t need to worry because I was able to meet with Brett and tell him what was most important to me and what I desired and he was able to deliver. He has stayed in communication with me since my case resolved and I highly recommend his services!

Brett is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who is a straight shooter, hard worker, and always willing to go the extra mile to fight for his clients. I've had to use him 2 separate times, and was more then please with the outcomes in both cases. I would recommend his services to anyone who needs help with any legal issues big or small. Brett is overall a true professional.
