Joseph Henry

Soon after Joseph joined forces with the law firm then known as The Law Offices of Troy P. Hendrick in 2015, Joseph became a partner, and the firm name became Hendrick & Henry Law. For more than five years, Joseph managed the firm’s busy defense and traffic practice and expanded the firm’s capacity to handle increasingly high demand for the firm’s services after a series of high-profile civil litigation cases involving the DeKalb Recorder’s Court over its mishandling of thousands of state misdemeanor charges.
