Josh Hodges is a personal injury lawyer and co-founder of Kruger & Hodges. A working-class kid who became an attorney, Josh built his law firm to serve everyday people across every town in Ohio. He has personally handled or directly supervised the successful completion of over 1,000 personal injury cases, from car wrecks and dog bites to wrongful death claims.
He is a sought-after speaker in the legal community, often appearing on podcasts and at conferences where he helps other lawyers run better law firms that make a real impact in their local communities. Josh loves mentoring young lawyers and is known as a creative thinker both in and out of the courtroom. When he’s not fighting insurance companies, you’ll find him with his wife and kids, filming local business spotlights, or walking the neighborhoods where his clients live.
Josh’s early legal career included working for one of the largest law firms in the Midwest, where he gained extensive experience in defending personal injury claims and representing major corporations and government entities—experience rare among local attorneys.
Eventually, Josh returned to his hometown of Hamilton, Ohio, to serve the community he loves. He now practices personal injury law across Southwest Ohio and lives in one of Hamilton’s historic neighborhoods with his wife and children. Known as “The Hometown Lawyer,” Josh not only advocates for his clients but also actively supports and highlights local businesses and leaders through his social media platforms.
