About Hezekiah Sistrunk
Hezekiah Sistrunk Jr. is an Atlanta-based attorney who brings decades of courtroom experience to his role at The Cochran Firm-Atlanta. He studied political science as an undergraduate and went on to earn a law degree in the early 1980s. His career has unfolded steadily since those formative years.
Sistrunk completed his undergraduate studies at North Carolina State University, earning a B.A. in Political Science in 1979. He then attended Duke University School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 1982. Those academic chapters placed him in two well-regarded programs during a period of broad legal and political change.
After law school, Sistrunk entered practice and has remained active in the legal community through the years that followed. He has appeared in court rooms and handled matters that required both negotiation and trial preparation. Colleagues describe him as methodical in his approach to case work and attentive to the practical needs of clients.
His work emphasizes traditional lawyer tasks: fact development, legal research, drafting, and courtroom presentation. He is experienced in managing litigation from initial intake through resolution. That includes preparing evidence, coordinating with experts when necessary, and arguing motions and trials. Sistrunk has also spent time counseling clients on the legal process and on strategy for moving their matters forward.
Throughout his career he has operated in environments that demand careful legal judgment and steady procedural practice. He has balanced case work with the administrative duties that come with managing files and client relationships. The steady accumulation of courtroom hours and case handling has shaped a practice style that is pragmatic and direct.
Today Sistrunk serves at The Cochran Firm-Atlanta. He continues to represent clients, prepare cases for trial, and work through settlements when appropriate. His practice remains rooted in litigation and client advocacy at the firm where he is based, and he continues to handle matters for individuals who turn to the firm for legal representation.
