Josh Hill
My legal career of 20+ years has been dedicated exclusively to criminal law, mostly in Harris County. I interned and later served as an Assistant District Attorney for Harris County for almost a decade before becoming a criminal defense lawyer. I have been Judge of the 232nd Criminal District Court since 2019, and I have been board certified in criminal law for 11 years. As both a prosecutor and defense lawyer, I tried 50+ criminal cases to a jury, from misdemeanors to capital murder. I have also handled post-conviction, actual innocence, and appellate matters successfully both for the State and defense. As judge, I have presided over dozens of felony trials, including capital murder. I have meaningful criminal law experience on all sides.
