About Michael
Michael Holloway combined studies in political thought and ethics before turning to law. He graduated from Appalachian State University in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in political science and philosophy. He then enrolled at Campbell Law School in 2019 and earned his J.D. in 2022.
Those academic choices shaped how he approaches legal questions. Political science gave him a sense of public institutions and civic process. Philosophy sharpened his attention to argument and principle. At Campbell, he completed the coursework and clinical experiences required for the degree and left with the credentials to practice in North Carolina.
After law school, Holloway moved into practice in the state where he trained. He is licensed to practice in North Carolina and has taken on matters in that jurisdiction. Early in his career he engaged in the day-to-day work of a young attorney: drafting pleadings, researching statutory and case law, and representing clients in administrative and court settings. That work built a practical foundation for the cases he handles now.
Holloway maintains current professional memberships in legal associations. He participates in the kinds of continuing legal education and local bar activities that keep lawyers up to date on changes in law and procedure. Colleagues describe him as methodical in preparation and careful in client communication. He tends to prefer clear, direct explanations rather than legalese.
He joined North State Law, where he practices alongside other attorneys serving clients across the state. At the firm he has handled a variety of matters, often involving research-intensive issues and smaller-scale litigation. He regularly prepares motions, manages discovery, and appears in hearings. His background in both political science and philosophy informs how he frames legal problems for judges and opposing counsel.
Outside the office, Holloway’s past study of political systems and ethics continues to influence his perspective on legal work. He approaches cases as a series of discrete questions that require both factual investigation and careful legal reasoning. That combination has guided the work he brings to each file.
As of 2026 he remains at North State Law and continues practicing in North Carolina. His current practice focuses on matters arising under North Carolina law at North State Law.
