About Joshua
Joshua Hodges grew up knowing that college would be the first step toward a profession. He earned a B.A. from Miami University of Ohio and went on to complete his J.D. at Northern Kentucky University. Those years set the foundations for a career in Ohio law.
He began his legal practice as an associate at Frost Brown Todd LLC in 2015. The role exposed him to the routines of firm life and the demands of representation in a regional practice. Two years later he shifted into partnership, joining Hodges & Perelmuter, LLC in 2017. That move marked a turn toward running cases and helping steer firm strategy.
In 2018 he became a partner at Kruger & Hodges, LLC. That partnership has been the platform for his most recent work. Colleagues describe him as steady in the courtroom and deliberate in preparing matters, often balancing client needs with procedural realities. He maintains his bar standing in Ohio and handles matters arising within the state.
Professional associations have been part of his calendar since the early days of practice. He has been a member of the Butler County Bar Association since 2015. That affiliation keeps him connected to local practitioners and community legal events. He participates in bar activities that address practice issues and local court procedures.
His career path shows a mix of private firm experience and partner responsibilities. Early years at a larger firm provided training in litigation and client counseling. Subsequent moves into partnership required him to take on caseloads while contributing to firm management. The transitions also reflect an attorney moving from apprentice roles into leadership within small firm settings.
Outside the office he has continued professional development customary for active practitioners, though he does not list academic posts or public office. He balances casework with the administrative demands of partnership, including client intake and supervision of junior lawyers. His practice is rooted in Ohio courts and the legal community that serves them.
He is a partner at Kruger & Hodges, LLC, where he represents clients across Ohio.
