Matthew Metzger

Biography

Matthew Metzger represents plaintiffs ranging from individuals and their families injured or killed in catastrophic accidents to companies involved in litigation and transactions. His representation of injured individuals, class members in complex litigation, and select businesses provides a unique perspective unavailable to attorneys who focus solely on one type of litigation. Matt’s simultaneous emphasis on pragmatic, strategic, and creative thinking often leads to unique and satisfying resolutions for his clients. When settlement fails, however, Matt aggressively pursues his client’s claims through litigation and trial. For example, in 2025, Matt obtained a jury verdict of over $22 million, one of the largest jury verdicts ever in Hamilton County.

Matt’s extensive experience representing individuals and their families includes catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, business litigation, and class action litigation, where he has recovered over $50 million for his clients in settlements and judgments.

His business litigation practice includes representing clients, always plaintiffs and usually on a contingency fee basis, in breach of contract actions, business tort claims, and intellectual property matters. 

Previously, Matt was an attorney at Keating Muething & Klekamp, a large corporate law firm. He received his JD from the University of Cincinnati College of Law, magna cum laude, and his BBA in Economics from the University of Iowa, with distinction, where he was a varsity scholarship athlete. In his spare time, Matt makes furniture and art, and has exhibited his work throughout the United States and internationally (his website for his art is metzgerfinearts.com). Matt, his wife, and two boys live in Cincinnati.
