Iowa Personal Injury Lawyer Josh Hodges Speaks At The Iowa State Bar Association (ISBA)

ALTOONA, Iowa, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Josh Hodges spoke at the 2026 Iowa State Bar Association (ISBA) Annual Meeting. The event ran from Monday, June 22nd to Thursday, 25th at Prairie Meadows Events & Conference Center in Altoona, Iowa.

On Tuesday, June 23rd, Mr. Hodges delivered the impassioned speech "My Hometown Is My Superpower: Building a Thriving Practice Outside the Big City." During the hour-long address, Mr. Hodges discussed leaving corporate law and returning to Hamilton, Ohio to start a multi-office firm that became Kruger & Hodges Hometown Injury Lawyers. His mission was to target small and mid-sized markets that many other firms overlooked.

Mr. Hodges noted that these towns are often underserved by quality legal representation. He stated that attorneys who are willing to plant roots in those underserved communities can build thriving legal practices.

Backed by real numbers and discussion of marketing strategies, Mr. Hodges inspired lawyers to think about the small towns they grew up in or know. Those places need good attorneys who are prepared to make a difference.
