About Cody Cofer
I have tried and appealed cases as a prosecutor, Assistant Federal Public Defender, and a private attorney. I lead our trial‑tested criminal defense team in Fort Worth, Texas, dedicated to protecting individual rights in both state and federal courts. I am double board certification—Criminal Law (2013) and Criminal Appeals (2024)—from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, placing me in an elite cohort of practitioners (less than 1%). I have successfully defended clients in high‑stakes matters including sex crimes, drug conspiracies, DWIs, murder, white‑collar offenses, and domestic violence. Peers and clients have recognized me consistently—earning inclusion on the Texas Super Lawyers list (2022–2025), AV Preeminent rating, and repeated recognition among Fort Worth Magazine’s “Top Attorneys.” Although our office is in Tarrant County, I handle complex criminal defense matters across Texas and in federal courts around the nation.
