Mr. Douglas Cody

I would recommend Mr. Cody for any military service members. Mr. Cody went out of his way to support me in my case. His prior military service makes him knowledgeable and accustomed to military law and regulations.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Douglas Cody is an attorney of superior abilities, great work ethic, and unimpeachable integrity. Doug worked for me, with me, and against me in a period of three years at Quantico, Virginia well over ten years ago. I have kept up with him ever since. I have had dozens of attorneys work for me, and he is by far one of the top advocates with whom I have had the pleasure to serve."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
