Biography

Ken Hodges is a Shareholder. Hodges spent 15 of his 20+ year career as a prosecutor, including 12 as the District Attorney of the Dougherty Judicial Circuit. He was the nominee in 2010 of the Democratic Party of Georgia for Attorney General. Ken has appeared before juries hundreds of times in both civil and criminal matters. He is passionate about his work and striving for a successful outcome for clients.

Ken now applies his dedication and trial skills in a practice focused on commercial litigation, civil rights, government investigations, RICO matters, and white collar criminal defense. He understands client’s needs and the importance of seeing the big picture in every case. Ken was chosen as District Attorney of the Year in 2002, in part, due to his work as co-counsel in the prosecution of former DeKalb County Sheriff Sidney Dorsey. Ken received the Justice Robert Benham Award for Community Service for his dedication to public service from the State Bar of Georgia and the Eagle Award for outstanding work on behalf of victims of crime from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council of Georgia.

Ken’s experience inside, as well as outside the courtroom, provides a diverse perspective of the value he can bring to clients.
