George Robert Mclain Jr.

I practice civil litigation and family law.  I began my legal career in the Washington, D.C. office of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, a New York-based international law firm, where I was a member of the business fraud litigation group.  In 2010, I returned to Sarasota, where I was born a raised, to take advantage of the unique opportunity to practice law with my father, a board certified civil trial lawyer with over 40 years of experience, and his law partner, Elliott Metcalfe, an AV rated former public defender with over 30 years and thousands of trials worth of experience.  I have experience representing commercial clients in both a litigation and an advisory capacity. I have represented individuals in a variety of litigation matters, including personal injury, medical and dental malpractice, sexual harassment, probate litigation, contract disputes, business disputes, and tort cases.  I have also represented clients in a variety of family law matters, including dissolution of marriage cases, post-judgment modifications, and paternity and child support cases.  I have been published on the subject of computer searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment.

I earned my Juris Doctorate, magna cum laude, from George Mason University School of Law.  While there, I served as an Articles Editor for the George Mason Law Review.  I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida, majoring in philosophy and minoring in English. 

Prior to my career as an attorney, I taught middle school language arts, worked for several years in the IT department of an AMLAW 100 law firm, and, subsequently, a computer forensics firm.
