He is a former prosecutor and gained terrific experience during his appointment as an Assistant Federal Public Defender in the Northern District of Texas. Cody loves fighting for his clients against the government. His reputation and passion for criminal defense have led to positions and invitations allowing him to serve as a professor, mentor, and instructor to lawyers and law students. His trial experience includes practically every kind of criminal charge: sex trafficking, drug conspiracy, murder, theft, DWI, and white-collar crimes. He has argued appeals in state and federal court, including the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals; Fort Worth Second Court of Appeals; and the Fifth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals. Meet with Cody to talk about your Tarrant County or Federal criminal case, and to ask about his more than 15 years as a criminal trial attorney. Aside from courtroom advocacy and his appellate practice, Cody values educations and helping others develop as attorneys. In addition to working as an adjunct professor, he regularly teaches, presents, and instructs at continuing education seminars. He is married to his law school sweetheart. They have two wonderfully sweet, smart, and beautiful children. When Cody is not working, he is hiking with his family, coaching kids’ sports, training for a powerlifting meet, or reading a good book. Staying busy keeps him out of trouble. More importantly, Cody agrees with renowned jury consultant Robert B. Hirschhorn that to be a better lawyer, you need to work to be a better husband, a better father, and a better friend.
