Lee Metzger is an Associate Attorney with Adams, Stepner, Woltermann & Dusing, PLLC, where he concentrates his practice in the areas of Civil Litigation, Insurance Law, School Law, Personal Injury, and Civil Rights.

In Lee’s Insurance Law practice, he regularly defends individuals, business entities, and insurance companies pursuant to automobile and commercial general liability insurance policies. He begins each case by developing a cost-efficient defense strategy, with the ultimate goal of minimizing, reducing, or eliminating his client’s exposure. Though always making sure to set forth traditional defenses, Lee also formulates and asserts novel or unique legal theories to further protect his clients and their interests.

He knows what it is like to be on the plaintiff’s end of litigation, as well, as he is experienced in representing individuals who have suffered personal injuries.  Lee understands that litigation may seem daunting or confusing to those who are unfamiliar with it, and he therefore communicates frequently with his clients to assure them, help them understand complex legal concepts, and offer them peace of mind.

In addition, Lee has a passion for helping those with disabilities. He regularly takes classes in American Sign Language (ASL), enabling him to effectively communicate with his clients who are deaf or hard of hearing. He also works with school districts and parents to implement education plans designed to foster the academic and social growth of developmentally delayed and disabled children in appropriate learning environments. And Lee has the education, training, and drive to assist families who seek to protect their cognitively disabled loved ones from life-threatening situations.

Lee is also well-equipped to handle matters pertaining to bioethics and the preservation of religious freedom, having received extensive training from the Alliance Defense Fund.  He is an ADF Allied Attorney.

Lee is a Northern Kentucky native who resides in Villa Hills, Kentucky. He is an avid fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the University of Kentucky Wildcats.
