J. Suzanne Lehner

J. Suzanne Lehner is a Tampa attorney whose Florida Bar directory entry identifies her as an AVP insurance executive. She appears in that directory as Jenifer S McCaffrey Lehner, with Suzanne given as her preferred name, and is listed in good standing and eligible to practice law in Florida.

In November 2023, Lehner was named as a USAA speaker for the CLM Focus Conference & Holiday Party. The session, “RIP: The Death of the Billable Hour,” concerned alternatives to hourly billing. Its description outlined the use of legal performance metrics and key performance indicators to evaluate fee arrangements, including monthly fees subject to annual adjustment. The announced panel paired Lehner with Kim Campbell of Wellpath, Robert Kopka of Kopka Pinkus Dolin and Patrick Mendes of Tyson & Mendes.

Her Florida Bar record gives October 6, 1994, as her admission date and names the University of Florida’s Fredric G. Levin College of Law, with 1994 listed alongside it. Insurance and litigation appear among her recorded practice areas, as do mediation and dispute resolution. The same entry includes construction and toxic torts. Its federal-court section names the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals and all three Florida federal district courts: Middle, Northern and Southern. Outside those listings, Lehner’s professional LinkedIn profile identifies her as a former chair of the Florida Bar Continuing Legal Education Committee.
