About Cody

Biography

I am a seasoned defense attorney based in Omaha, NE with over 13 years of criminal trial experience both prosecuting and defending serious criminal offenses. I currently specialize in defending clients against DUI charges, drug charges, weapons charges, domestic violence, assaults and more.

I have trial experience in cases ranging from Drug Possession to DUI to Homicide. I am very experienced in DUI cases, having spent the last 11+ years of my career with the majority of my caseload being DUI related. Additionally, I have vast experience in defending Drug Distribution Cases.

I was an 8 year member of the Douglas County Attorney's Office Felony DUI Unit where I prosecuted thousands of DUI related cases. I have Jury Trial experience in Felony DUI cases ranging from DUI 3rd to 5th Offense Aggravated, to Felony Motor Vehicle Homicide, to Felony Manslaughter and much more.

I have built a substantial practice around defending those accused of trafficking drugs across and into Nebraska. I work extensively in State and Federal Court representing client's on cases of simple possession to Possession With Intent to Distribute.

Domestic Violence and Assault are prominent in our area. I have vast experience working both sides of these matters as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. There is always two sides (or more) to these events, and my understanding of the process from both sides is invaluable to my clients.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Registered Nurse & Licensed Hypnotist

Excellent and top lawyers! I had a warrant that was baseless and had no foundation. I didn’t even know this existed in my records until the state contacted me to clarify. I was speechless. After discussing with several lawyers, I felt like I was going to jail. Yes, many people with warrants go... to jail and they may have been right. But that was not good for me to hear, especially given the circumstances of my case. Feeling abandoned, I made one more attempt to get a lawyer who could truly understand my situation. I contacted 5 star lawyer, Tom Olsen. He forwarded me to Mr. Cody Miltenberger after a 20mins of conversation. What happened next was an astonishing miracle to me. Like Tom Olsen, Cody listened to my explanations carefully. We arranged the price and he went to work few days after. Within 2weeks, he fought and dismissed the warrant & I became a free person. Mr. Miltenberger’s Professionalism and insightful approach with the law was what impressed me the most. In fact, these guys know what they are doing. They are very experience and can be felt in their voices, postures and gestures. They are also nonjudgmental, which is a quality to appreciated as a defendant. When it came to payments, he was also unbelievably understanding. He took off some transaction fees ($50) due to my payment method. I paid him in 2 halves; one at the beginning of the case and the other at the end of the case. He even sent me the dismissed paper works before I completed my payment. The law is created to protect the people. But sometimes, it can become a weapon against innocent people. When this happens, we need lawyers like this. I will recommend you to use these lawyers (Cody, Tom) to defend yourself, especially in Nebraska. Good luck! I am already lucky!
