I have been a lawyer for 30 years.  I have tried just about every kind of case a lawyer can try.  My working philosophy - nobody walks into my office to tell me how great their day has been.  Typically, my clients have been devastated physically, emotionally or financially (or some combination of the three).  I see my role as not just to try their case, but also to guide them through the process.  I take a lot of pride in both aspects and have had the privilege of practicing with two guys over the past 25 years who feel the same way.

Firm: Hodges Trial Lawyers, PC

I was born in St. Louis, Missouri where I lived for twelve years. After a two year stay in Glen Carbon, Illinois, I moved to Madison, Alabama. I graduated from Bob Jones High School in 2002 with honors. I received an Auburn Alumni Academic Scholarship to Auburn University. I graduated cum laude from Auburn University in 2006 with a degree in Industrial & Systems Engineering and a Minor in Political Science. After that I took the path less chosen and went from Auburn to the University of Alabama School of Law. I graduated from Alabama in 2009 and have been working in the Huntsville area ever since.. As a lawyer, I feel it is our duty to help out those in need. Therefore, while at Alabama, I worked with the Alabama Civil Clinic which allowed me to help college students and individuals in the community who were in need of legal assistance. I have also taken cases from the Madison County Volunteer Lawyers Program in an effort to help those who could not otherwise afford attorneys.. I also feel very strongly about accountability for one’s mistakes. It seems that far too often these days, the focus of a civil case is on how much money an injured person receives, instead of what mistake caused that injured person to become hurt. I believe our juries are important to the American legal system because they hold individuals and corporations responsible for their mistakes.

The most important part of being a good attorney is to just be a good person. If I am going to stand up and fight for my clients, I first have to know what I stand for, myself. Being an effective advocate depends on relationships built on integrity and trust—whether it’s with my clients, the judges, or the jurors. This is even true for the insurance companies and their defense lawyers. They know that when I say something—I mean it—and I have the means to back it up.
