Ajmeri Hoque

Franklin County Municipal Court Judge, OH

2025 Endorsement

Ajmeri Hoque, a licensed attorney in Ohio and New York with a focus on criminal defense, juvenile defense, and guardian ad litem work, brings over 15 years of legal experience to her practice. Originally from Bangladesh, she moved with her family to the United States as a toddler and has since dedicated her career to serving marginalized communities in Central Ohio.

Throughout her career, Ajmeri has noted that folks from lower-income and underserved communities are the largest demographic she encounters in Court. She has not only represented these vulnerable people in her cases but has also spent extensive time in their neighborhoods and seen their lives firsthand. Amjeri is proud to have been able to fight for clients who have been wrongly accused and, by telling their stories to juries and judges, she is proud to have been instrumental in reunifying children with their parents. Amjeri has been so effective in this work that prosecutors have stood in Court and said, "Attorney Hoque is correct and we will dismiss this case," on multiple occasions.

She strives to be a judge who listens to every person who comes in front of her, who remembers that people in the criminal justice system have experienced trauma and barriers that they bring with them to the courtroom, and are only seeking justice and fairness in Court. Therefore, Ajmeri hopes to be a Judge who will always be fair and just to everyone who appears in her courtroom.
