Nearly a year into her time with MacGillis Law Group, Attorney Kate Metzger has become a cornerstone of our personal injury practice—bringing together deep compassion, sharp litigation skills, and an unwavering commitment to results.
For more than a decade, Kate has devoted her career to helping injured people and their families through some of life’s most devastating circumstances. She began her practice representing victims of elder abuse and neglect, handling cases that frequently involved wrongful death. While emotionally demanding, that work shaped her approach to advocacy: guiding families through unimaginable loss with clarity, steadiness, and respect, while holding negligent parties accountable.
Step 1: Stay at the Scene and Ensure Safety
Today, as a Partner and leader of our Litigation Team, Kate focuses on catastrophic injury cases caused by negligence—matters involving complex medical needs, long-term care considerations, and significant life impact. She is particularly passionate about advocating for clients who require highly specialized care, ensuring their futures are protected and their voices heard. While she continues to handle select elder abuse cases, her current work centers on fighting for individuals whose lives have been permanently altered by serious injury.
Step 2: Stay at the Scene and Ensure Safety
A nurturer by nature, Kate strives to lead with empathy—but never at the expense of strength. She builds genuine connections with her clients, earning their trust through honesty and attentiveness, and then fights relentlessly on their behalf. Her calm, confident presence allows clients to feel supported, while her litigation approach remains strategic, disciplined, and results-driven.

Outside of work, Kate is intentional about staying grounded. She enjoys spending time at the gym, traveling, and experiencing other cultures. An avid reader, she gravitates toward historical fiction, thrillers, and books that explore human behavior—interests that naturally complement her ability to understand people, patterns, and motivations.
Her dedication and outcomes were recently recognized when she was named a 2025 Wisconsin Rising Star by Super Lawyers—a distinction that reflects both her skill as a litigator and her consistent focus on achieving meaningful results for her clients.
At every stage of a case, Kate embodies what our personal injury clients deserve: connection without pretense, advocacy without compromise, and leadership grounded in care.
