Hendrick & Henry

At Hendrick & Henry Law, our commitment to justice means we don't shy away from holding law enforcement accountable when it counts. As criminal defense attorneys, we zealously advocate for our clients, often challenging police procedures, evidence collection, and investigative tactics to ensure the rights of our clients are protected under the law. Whether it's scrutinizing search warrants, questioning witness statements, or exposing procedural errors, our goal is a fair fight in the courtroom—because everyone deserves due process, no matter the charges. We've seen firsthand how overzealous enforcement can lead to miscarriages of justice, and we're proud to stand as a check against that, fighting tirelessly for the truth to prevail.

That said, we deeply respect and appreciate the dedicated law enforcement officers who serve our communities with integrity and selflessness. These brave men and women put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe, often under incredibly challenging circumstances. We recognize that the vast majority are good-hearted professionals doing vital work, and we're grateful for their service. At Hendrick & Henry, we believe in a system where accountability strengthens trust—honoring the rule of law while supporting those who uphold it honorably. Thank you, Decatur PD for your commitment to our community.

Hendrick & Henry enjoyed sponsoring the 2025 Mad Ave Derby this weekend in Decatur. The Henry boys are already looking forward to next year. Feels like the firm needs to build its own car for next year’s derby Ben Mozingo!

“Wherever the road takes you, we’re here to help”

We are pleased to announce Ben Mozingo secured a successful outcome in a recent Administrative License Suspension (ALS) hearing for a client. The administrative law judge reversed the client’s suspension after hearing arguments before the Office of State Administrative Hearings.

Georgia’s ALS proceedings present significant challenges, as the low burden of proof typically favors the arresting officer. In this case, our team meticulously identified and demonstrated critical deficiencies in the traffic stop and the administration of implied consent warnings resulting in the full reinstatement of our client's driving privileges.

If you’ve been injured, are facing a DUI or another traffic violation our experienced attorneys are committed to protecting your rights and achieving the best possible resolution. Contact us today at (404) 310-9795 for a free consultation.

We are hiring! Hendrick & Henry Law seeks a Spanish-speaking legal intern.

If so, tag them below or have them reach out directly.

Jolie Peguero-Henry has served Of Counsel to Hendrick & Henry Law since 2019. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Miami School of Law, where she was awarded Best Oralist among the school’s Moot Court teams. Prior to law school, she graduated first in her class from the Business Law program, also at the University of Miami.

Upon graduation from Law School in 2012, Jolie worked in Atlanta as a staff attorney at King and Spalding, a large international law firm. After five years representing Fortune 500 companies, Jolie felt a calling to work more personally with her clients. Applying her legal business expertise to entrepreneurs with medium and small companies, Jolie became the Director of Legal Operations at Sparks Law, a firm offering legal services to businesses with a different set of needs than the large Fortune 500 companies. In this position, she managed other attorneys at the firm and served as in-house counsel for small to medium-sized businesses throughout the country. She found the change of working closer with people than with faceless corporations refreshing.

Throughout her career, Jolie has found herself gravitating toward more and more personal client relationships. Jolie’s progression from large companies to individuals was completed in 2019, when she began her own practice representing individuals. She now represents individual plaintiffs in personal injury cases, as well as individuals facing charges from the State. She has appeared in most of the State of Georgia’s counties, has tried criminal and civil trials at various levels around the state, and brings a wealth of “big firm” knowledge to the boutique firm atmosphere.

Jolie grew up in Miami and moved to Georgia after law school. She and her husband, firm partner Joseph Henry, live in Lawrenceville with their son, Cruz.

Keith's education and professional life have been focused on making the world a better place.

Keith entered Columbia Theological Seminary in 1984, the youngest member of his class, as a candidate for ordination as a Presbyterian (PCUSA) minister. While he enjoyed the challenges of earning a Master of Divinity and serving the three intervening summers in a small church, Keith decided that law provided a broader scope of influence and that he would apply for admission to law school, rather than seek ordination.

While preparing for and being admitted to Georgia State University College of Law, Keith worked in psychiatric hospitals as a clinical assistant, providing front-line patient care and counseling to teens with drug, alcohol and other mental health challenges.

Keith continued this work and started law school at Georgia State in 1990. He received the American Jurisprudence Award for the highest grade in Contracts his first semester and was also instrumental in the founding of the LGLSA that year, which was the first LGBTQ organization in the law school. Keith served as its senior officer his final year at Georgia State.

Keith passed the Georgia Bar exam in 1993, before graduating from law school in 1994, and began his law career that summer as the Coordinator of the Mississippi Prison Project, a National Lawyers Guild program to commemorate and continue the work began in Mississippi’s Freedom Summer of 1964, bringing volunteer litigators from across the county to the state to assist local counsel with cases involving Mississippi’s infamous Parchman Prison and other inmate facilities.

At the close of the project, Keith joined Reece and Associates in Atlanta as a registered lobbyist. The firm monitored proposed legislation in Georgia and developed strategy for clients seeking to pass or defeat legislation affecting their businesses. Keith’s role included advocating for corporate clients face-to-face with legislators, consulting and coordinating with the National Highway Safety Administration in its multi-state efforts to increase highway safety and consistency in traffic laws, and writing strategic plans for clients seeking to influence public policy.

In his first year of practice, Keith served on the founding Board of Directors for the Stonewall Bar Association, the state’s first organization of LGBTQ attorneys. He was also part of a group of former Boy Scouts who formed the Wilderness Network of Georgia, an outdoor club which now has more than 300 members and organizes hiking, camping, paddling and other outdoor activities for gay men.

In 1997, Keith was invited to join Habitat for Humanity in Atlanta’s house-building mission as property coordinator and was tasked with acquiring at least 50 single-family house sites per year within the city limits – with very little money and in a very hot property market. Utilizing a small army of volunteers, Keith located and acquired more than 300 such properties in less than four years, scooping up properties in undervalued neighborhoods, securing space for affordable housing and leaving Habitat with a substantial inventory of property on which to build.

Keith had meanwhile also been pursuing his personal interests in photography and history, focusing on his hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, and his family’s journey from immigration before American independence to now, so in 2001, he began splitting his time between conducting residential Real-Estate closings with Ganek, Wright & Dobkin, and travelling home for photography and research.

Keith’s photos have been published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, in several books, including: In Faulkner’s Shadow; Oxford Mississippi – The Cofield Collection; and Hollis Gillespie’s first memoire, and hang in many businesses and homes in Mississippi. In 2008, The Union County Historical Museum featured Keith in a solo exhibition, “Gore’s Oxfordpawtapha – Overlapping Faulkner’s Claim,” which explored the actual place that became Faulkner’s fictional world.

Since 2015, Keith has worked with Hendrick Henry, making court appearances with and for clients, bringing his broad knowledge and experience in counseling and negotiation to each case to reach the best result for clients and for the personal satisfaction of making the world a better place.

When not in court, Keith prefers to be outside with a camera.

Ben joined the Hendrick & Henry team in 2017 as an intern while attending Georgia State University College of Law. In law school, he was elected 3L At-Large Senator by his peers. He graduated in 2019 With Highest Distinction in Pro Bono Service. While interning, Ben set to task investigating every facet of the traffic and criminal defense practice. He showed an aptitude for analyzing difficult legal issues in this area of law. In October of 2019, he became a licensed attorney. He hit the ground running, making appearances for the firm the very next day.

Ben is a fighter. His freshman year at the University of Georgia, he walked on to the UGA Football program, earning a spot as a fullback through the spring of 2012. His senior year, he competed in the Brawl for a Cause charity boxing event, where he went three rounds with a veteran opponent. As an attorney with Hendrick & Henry Law, he’s taking the fight to the courtroom; applying that same tenacity he displayed on the field and in the ring to advocate zealously for clients charged with criminal offenses.

Ben became passionate about criminal defense early in his studies. He studied Criminal Justice at UGA. While there, he interned with the Conflict Defender’s office of Athens-Clarke County. In law school, he participated in the Capital Defender’s Clinic, assisting the attorneys in death penalty litigation. This humbling and challenging work left a deep impression on Ben. He joined the DeKalb County Public Defender’s office, advocating on behalf of indigent clients under the Third Year Practice Act.

Ben has a hunger for true, redemptive justice having seen first-hand the devastating impact of injustice. Ben believes in the power of redemption. In the words of author, civil rights attorney, and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, Bryan Stevenson, “each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve ever done.” For a system to truly be just, the members of that system must treat every person with dignity, no matter what they are accused of. Ben knows his role as advocate is to unflinchingly persist in challenging the system when it fails to meet this foundational mark.

The extra mile is familiar territory to Ben. Achieving a positive result for you is an essential aim but that’s not all that he strives for when taking on a case. He also understands that a person seeking the representation of a criminal defense attorney may have some of their toughest days ahead and aims to be a source of light in the darkness. Everyone deserves someone in their corner. Ben derives deep fulfillment in intentionally fostering relationships with his clients. While Ben will fight for a just resolution to your case, he also wants you to know that he hears you, cares about you, and values you. Only then will he have fully realized his role as your attorney.

As Ben has become intimately familiar with the traffic and criminal defense practice, he also understands that a person’s ability to maintain a clean driving record is of utmost importance to a vibrant and productive life. In pursuit of higher education in this area of the law, Ben completed an Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) seminar in July of 2021. With the knowledge and expertise he has gained through representing clients since 2019, he looks forward to counseling you through the process, helping you navigate the system, and advocating on your behalf.

Ben is a native of Nashville, Tennessee but has lived most of his life in the Metro-Atlanta area. After law school, he settled in Decatur with his wife, Erin, and wirefox terrier, Jack. Most days, you can find them walking to and from downtown Decatur, enjoying the local eats.
