Polk Law Blog

I am Kemp Brinson, an attorney with Clark, Campbell, Mawhinney & Lancaster, P.A. in Lakeland, Florida. My practice is focused in civil litigation, with an emphasis on employment law, commercial matters, real estate, and contested probate. My firm provides services to businesses and individuals in a variety of business, real estate, land use, estate planning, probate, and tax matters.

I am currently Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Theatre Winter Haven and Vice President of Main Street Winter Haven, both in Winter Haven, FL. I am also an active guardian ad litem and pro bono attorney ad litem with the Tenth Judicial Circuit’s Guardian ad Litem program.

Professionally, I am a member of the Willson American Inn of Court and the Lakeland Bar Association. You will also spot me at Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce and Leadership Winter Haven (class XXVII) events and at Lakeland Chamber of Commerce functions.

I frequently speak at local events sponsored by various chambers of commerce and human resources organizations about employment law.

Personally, I am married with a 5-year-old daughter and live in Winter Haven, Florida. I play bass guitar and upright bass in my free time, mostly for the Brass Heart Band and  musical theater shows for Theatre Winter Haven and Theatreworks Florida . I also enjoy reading, swimming, amateur astronomy, fooling around with Linux, and a plethora of other sporadic hobbies.

I will only publish stories that concern matters about which I have no “inside” knowledge, OR, I will disclose my insider status clearly. In general, I will refrain from posting anything about a case or client I am currently involved in. The posts on this blog are entirely my own and do not necessarily represent the opinions or statements of my employer, any client, or any person other than me.
