BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE



With 36 years of experience as a successful trial lawyer, I have tried approximately 1000 jury trials while focusing on personal injury, product liability and insurance disputes. I have also handled numerous appeals before the Arkansas Supreme Court, the Arkansas Court of Appeals, as well as handling an appellate practice before the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.



I served as assistant City Attorney for Newport before being elected to the position of Prosecuting Attorney of the Third Judicial District of Arkansas -- including Jackson, Lawrence, Independence and Stone Counties -- for three full terms from 1966 through 1972.
During this time I was appointed to the Board of the Arkansas Crime Commission and served as chairman for five years.
After 17 years of general practice as an attorney in Newport, I moved my practice to Little Rock, focusing on trial work. In addition to my regular duties as a lawyer, I have taught at seminars sponsored by the Arkansas Bar Association and Arkansas Trial Lawyers' Association.
My wife Marian and I have three sons, David A. Hodges Jr., Craig Hodges and Matthew Hodges.
