About Samantha
Samantha Kemp studied political science as an undergraduate before turning to law. She earned her J.D. from Suffolk University Law School in 2011. Those formative years set a pattern: early work in government offices, then a steady move into criminal defense and private practice.
Her paid legal work began shortly after law school. In 2012 she interned at the Law Office of Kate Barnes. The following year she worked in two public offices: on environmental crimes and cyber forensics matters at the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office, and on homicide and major felonies at the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office. Those postings put her in courtrooms and in investigative settings, often on serious, high-stakes matters.
In 2014 she took contract positions for outside employers, including General Electric and Curtis Law, and served as general counsel for Beechwood Farm, LLC. She then moved into firm roles, becoming an associate at Lynch & Lynch in 2015 and serving as head of criminal defense at Macias & Greenstein, LLC in 2016. The sequence shows a lawyer who has worked on both corporate and criminal matters, and who has moved between government, in-house, and private-firm settings.
In 2017 she opened her own practice, operating as counsel and owner of the Law Office of Samantha Kemp. The firm handles a range of criminal defense work, drawing on her earlier trial experience. Running a small office has meant managing case strategy, client intake, and courtroom advocacy, while also handling the business side of a practice.
Colleagues and former supervisors describe a lawyer who is comfortable in court and who has handled serious felony matters. Her background in environmental crimes and cyber forensics adds a technical dimension to her criminal work. The mix of public- and private-sector experience has given her repeated exposure to trials, plea negotiations, and investigative processes.
Kemp is licensed to practice in Massachusetts. Her career path reflects steady movement from government roles into private practice and then into firm leadership. She currently operates the Law Office of Samantha Kemp and focuses her practice on criminal defense and related legal matters.
