About Joshua Lee
Joshua Lee Rogers began his professional path in the newsroom. He studied journalism at Samford University and earned a bachelor’s degree before turning to law. He completed his legal training at Nashville School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2000. That dual background in reporting and law shaped the way he approaches facts and tells a case story.
After law school, Rogers built a practice centered in Tennessee. He is licensed to practice in the state and is admitted to appear before the Tennessee Supreme Court. Much of his work has unfolded in state courtrooms and on appeal, where clear writing and careful record review matter as much as courtroom presence.
Rogers joined Fort, Holloway, & Rogers early in his legal career and remains there. The firm listing reflects a steady affiliation rather than a string of short-term moves. At the firm he has handled client matters that required close attention to procedural detail and persuasive written work. His prior training in journalism has been practical: it informs how he frames legal issues, prepares briefs, and communicates with clients.
Colleagues describe him as someone who prefers substance over show. He tends to focus on building a factual record and letting the law speak. That approach is suited to both trial filings and appellate arguments. He has experience briefing complex questions and presenting them in a way that judges and opposing counsel can follow.
Outside the office, Rogers has maintained connections to the broader legal community in Tennessee. His admission to practice before the state’s highest court is part of that engagement. He appears regularly in filings across the state and handles matters that require navigating multiple levels of the state judiciary.
Clients who work with Rogers encounter a lawyer who blends concise written work with practical courtroom knowledge. He brings the habits of a journalist—clear questions, careful sourcing, tight prose—into legal practice. That combination shapes how he prepares matters for hearing and how he advises people about options and likely outcomes.
He currently practices at Fort, Holloway, & Rogers, handling client matters in Tennessee courts and before the Tennessee Supreme Court.
