Before her election to the Superior Court, Judge Hill served as a full-time magistrate judge and assisting Superior court judge in the Cobb Magistrate Court for four years, presiding over civil and criminal cases. Her extensive legal experience, spanning over two decades, greatly prepared her for her judicial role. Judge Hill practiced as a trial attorney in both the public and private sectors within metro-Atlanta. In 2016, she founded The Kellie Hill Legal Group, a civil and criminal defense law firm with offices in Atlanta and Marietta, Georgia.  Prior to managing her firm, Judge Hill was the managing attorney for a plaintiffs’ personal injury practice in Atlanta. She also taught “Trial Advocacy” as an adjunct professor at the John Marshall School of Law.

Throughout much of her career, Judge Hill dedicated herself to serving the citizens of Georgia as a prosecutor in both Fulton and DeKalb Counties for more than 22 years. She held prominent roles, including Chief Trial Assistant District Attorney, Director of the Public Integrity Unit, and Chief Senior District Attorney.  She was tasked to handle many high-profile and complex cases in the state, such as the Fulton County Courthouse shootings.

She has been called upon as a legal expert for both national and local media programs. Her accomplishments have garnered various accolades, including a Georgia House of Representatives Resolution, a Georgia Senate Resolution, the National District Attorney’s Association “Homerun Hitter’s Award” and the Lewis Slaton Highest Achievement Award (which she received twice).  She was also named a “Top 100 Lawyer” by the National Black Lawyers' Association. In 2020, she was recognized as one of Cobb County’s “15 Women of Achievement” and was honored in 2025 with the “Jane Bolin Avant Garde Award” by the Office of the Cobb County District Attorney.

Judge Hill is a member of several professional organizations, She is also active in her local community as a member of Leadership Cobb Alumni, president of her HOA and member of the Marietta/Smyrna Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
