About Joseph

Partner at Hendrick & Henry Law, Joseph began his legal career as a prosecutor in Metro Atlanta, where he was responsible for prosecuting a wide variety of crimes including traffic tickets, DUI, drug possession, theft, and violent crimes. It was during this time that Joseph developed his expertise in Georgia’s traffic laws that he now uses to the benefit of his clients. While prosecution was excellent experience, Joseph eventually grew tired watching people in court—especially traffic court—get chewed up and spit out by our legal system. This is in large part what inspired him to make the switch from prosecution to defense. Before becoming a partner, Joseph represented individuals faced with charges ranging from routine traffic tickets to serious felonies. Joseph is in good standing with the Georgia Bar and is also a regular member of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys. Joseph has lived in Georgia for the vast majority of his life. He graduated from Collins Hill High School and went on to obtain a Bachelors of Business Administration from Georgia Southern University. After working as a criminal investigator, Joseph attended law school at The University of Miami in sunny, South Florida. After finishing his degree, he returned to Atlanta where he now lives with his wife, Jolie, and his two dogs, Cane and Diesel. He enjoys spending his free time with family and friends, traveling, and watching both professional and college football as well as many other sports.

Review Joseph Kenneth Henry

5 stars is not enough to show how far above and beyond Mr. Henry goes for his clients. He earned me a Not Guilty verdict for DUI

Hiring Mr. Henry was the best decision of my life! I was going up against a stubborn prosecutor and an award-winning officer (2015 Officer of the Year from the Governor's Office of Highway Safety) who had NEVER lost a DUI trial in a county (Forsyth County) that is very pro-law enforcement and Mr. Henry earned me a Not Guilty verdict and saved my career! I didn't blow but displayed 6 out of 6 clues on the HGN test. 3 out of 8 in the walk and turn and 3 out of 4 in the one-leg stand. The prosecutor refused to settle for a reckless driving charge despite Mr. Henry's countless efforts so we were forced to take it to trial. Mr. Henry left no stone unturned. He dissected the dashcam video. Argued up the strong points and justified the negative moments in a very relatable way to the jury. His courtroom presence really helped turn the tide in my favor in a very tricky case that could've gone either way. The jury came back with a Not Guilty verdict in less than 2 hours which is almost unheard of for a DUI trial! That's how effective Mr. Henry was. The look on the judge's face said it all. He couldn't believe it. Leading up to the trial, Mr. Henry was in constant contact with me the entire way. He would call me with regular updates and was never more than a phone call or text away if I had any questions. We had several lengthy discussions that really helped put my mind at ease. When you are his client, Mr. Henry doesn't play by typical business hours. We even met Super Bowl Sunday just to make sure we were absolutely 100% prepared and on the same page before trial the following morning. Who does that? Mr. Henry, that's who. Whether it's working weekends, late nights, holidays, Mr. Henry will do whatever it takes to be the most prepared person in the courtroom and the results speak for themselves. If you're having doubts about hiring Mr. Henry, stop it. Stop it right now!! You will not find an attorney who is more hard-working and more knowledgeable than Mr. Henry and I challenge you to find an attorney who cares more about their client than Mr. Henry because you won't find one. It does not exist. You are not a client to Mr. Henry. You are a friend. Thank you Joseph! Thank you so much!!!
