Josh Hodges has been lucky enough to have life experiences
that set him apart from most lawyers. Soon after high school he got a full-time
job at a factory. This was not a summer job between semesters of college, this
was his living. At this job he ran a machine that dipped hot pieces of metal
into liquid plastic and he came home every day dirty and smelling of burnt
plastic fumes. This job led to another factory job where he worked 3rd shift.
During this time, he went to class at Miami Hamilton often with nothing more
than a thirty-minute nap in the parking lot. However, he kept getting up and
going to work and showing up to class until he graduated with honors. Josh
knows nothing other than putting his head down and getting the job done. He
also knows what it is like to struggle and this gives him a valuable
prospective when dealing with his clients many of whom are in his office due to
some type of difficult situation.
Josh has also been lucky enough to obtain professional
experience that sets him apart from most lawyers. He graduated Summa Cum Laude
from Salmon P. Chase College of Law where he was elected Student Bar
Association President and National Treasurer of NLLSA. Due to his outstanding
academic record he was offered a job at one of the largest and most prestigious
law firms in the Midwestern United States. In this role, he garnered
experiences in many types of cases and represented large corporations and
governmental entities. Namely, he was involved in defense side civil litigation
including the defense of personal injury claims. Josh is one of very few local
lawyers with this type of big law firm experience and this proves invaluable to
his clients.
After getting valuable experience at other firms, and
assisting clients both throughout the country and internationally, Josh decided
to bring his practice to his hometown of Hamilton, Ohio. This is where he
lives, where his child goes to school, where many of his friends and family are,
and that is where he wants to serve. Josh practices personal injury and
criminal law throughout Southwest Ohio. He lives in one of Hamilton’s great
historic neighborhoods with his wife, son, and baby daughter. He loves his
family, his community, and gives his clients everything he has.
