About Michael
Michael Kemp builds his practice around courtroom work and the rules that govern it. He takes a methodical approach to cases. He reads the record closely and spends time on procedure. That attention to detail shapes how he represents clients and how courts encounter his filings.
Kemp began his academic path at Loras College, earning a Bachelor of Arts in English and Journalism in 1996. He returned to legal studies a few years later and completed his Juris Doctor at the University of St. Thomas, Minnesota School of Law in 2006. Those years framed his interest in close writing and advocacy. They also set him up for practice in Minnesota's courts.
After law school Kemp established himself in the Twin Cities legal community. He is admitted to practice in the State of Minnesota and before the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Those admissions have allowed him to handle matters that move between state and federal dockets. Over time he has become familiar with local procedural rules and federal practice standards.
Colleagues describe Kemp as deliberate and exacting in his preparation. He emphasizes clarity in pleadings and in oral argument. He also pays attention to deadlines and to the often technical requirements of court practice. That orientation affects the types of matters he brings to trial and the way he structures pretrial work. He tends to build cases step by step rather than rely on last-minute strategy shifts.
Kemp now practices at MET Law Group, PLLC, where he continues to handle matters arising in Minnesota courts. He appears in both state and federal settings and does work that requires familiarity with court procedures, filings and advocacy at hearings. His practice concentrates on matters in the state and federal courts of Minnesota.
