Cody Gomora, an associate at The Medlin Law Firm, on why he decided to become a criminal defense attorney: When I started my career as a police officer, my goal was simple: to serve and protect my community. I believed in the law as a tool for fairness and safety. Later, as a prosecutor, I saw the justice system from another angle—working to hold individuals accountable while pursuing what was right. But it was during those years that I also saw the imperfections in the system. I witnessed how easily someone’s story could be overshadowed, how circumstances could lead to unfair outcomes, and how critical it was to have someone on your side to fight for your rights. That’s when I realized my true calling: criminal defense. For me, it’s not about excusing behavior—it’s about ensuring every person is treated with fairness and respect, that constitutional rights are upheld, and that no one is defined solely by their worst moment. Criminal defense allows me to stand beside those facing the power of the state and remind the system of its duty to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Every case is more than just evidence or arguments; it’s a person with a life, a family, and a future. Being their voice, their advocate, is a responsibility I take seriously and a role I’m deeply passionate about. Choosing criminal defense wasn’t just a career decision—it was a commitment to justice and fairness. It’s a fight I’ll gladly take on every day. If you or someone you know are considering criminal defense, reach out! I'd love to chat about the job.
