About Michael A.
Michael A. Hodgson earned his J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2003 after completing undergraduate studies at Kansas State University, where he took a major in English and a minor in Leadership Studies & Programs. The law degree marked the formal start of a legal career that has spanned more than two decades and crossed state lines.
He is licensed to practice in Wisconsin and Kansas and holds admission to the Federal Circuit. Early in his career he joined professional organizations that align with his work in employment issues. He became a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association in 2005 and has retained that affiliation since. He also belongs to the Kansas Bar Association and the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association, and he remains active in the Kansas City chapter of the National Employment Lawyers Association.
Hodgson’s memberships reflect a steady engagement with the employment law community. Over the years he has worked on matters requiring both trial and appellate attention, and his Federal Circuit admission has enabled him to handle cases beyond state court. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparing cases and direct in courtroom settings. He favors clear arguments and a pragmatic approach to case management.
Throughout his practice, Hodgson has balanced courtroom work with client counseling. He has represented clients in disputes arising from workplace issues and in related litigation. He prepares pleadings, argues motions, and pursues appeals when a case requires a higher court review. His background in English and leadership studies informs his written work and client interactions. That training contributes to concise briefs and an emphasis on plain-spoken explanations for clients facing complex legal questions.
Hodgson practices from The Hodgson Law Office, L.L.C. The firm serves as the base for his current caseload and ongoing legal work. He maintains memberships in local and national bar groups to keep abreast of changes in employment law and appellate procedure. He is known for steady participation in professional networks that focus on workplace rights and litigation practice.
He currently practices employment law at The Hodgson Law Office, L.L.C.
