Mr. Michael P. Metcalf

Dear Mr. Metcalf:

I am writing you this letter with respect to the outstanding manner in which you tried my personal injury case. From our very first meeting to the final jury decision you were extremely professional in every aspect of my case.

Your unyielding pressure placed on the opposing law firm was actually somewhat masterful and the relentless effort by you to settle my case or go before a Judge and jury to see that justice was done was greatly appreciated. Yes Mr. Metcalf you are one tough attorney when it comes to defending your client. Yet throughout our difficult and demanding trial you always maintained your composure and conducted yourself as a true gentleman. I think the Judge as well as your formidable opponent admired that about you. As your client I certainly did.

Your having served as a Judge certainly appears to have given you far more wisdom with respect to legal tactics and procedures than the defendants in my case. Your courtroom maneuvers were amazing for me to watch as you deflated the defendants arguments time and time again. Your presentation of the facts combined with your knowledge of the law, seemed to be respected by the Judge, Jury, and the opposing lawyer. It certainly appeared that way to me.

Having never been in a law suit before I was stunned at all of the preparation that must be gathered before a trial. I want you to know how very much I appreciate the time, effort, and long hours you spent on my behalf.

Mr. Metcalf, this simply is a letter of appreciation. Having selected you as my attorney was one of the best decisions I made in 1996.

It is my wish that your law practice will continue to prosper and that each of your future clients will be equally as pleased with your legal expertise and your uncompromising will to to see that our justice system is properly implemented.

Please give my regards to your fine family.

Sincerely Yours,

Ron K. Jones
