Overview

Mr. Frank has substantial experience representing corporations, insurers, and individuals in matters involving admiralty and maritime law, insurance coverage, indemnity and defense, breach of contract, trade secret misappropriation, fraud, deceptive trade practices, and catastrophic negligence. His strategic approach often leads to early dismissals of claims.

Mr. Frank has represented a wide array of cases—big and small, civil and criminal—from inception to resolution—through mediation, arbitration, pre-trial rulings, jury verdicts, and appellate decisions. Notably, he has worked on cases before the United States Supreme Court and the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. A relentless advocate, Cody leverages discovery and investigative tools to meet his clients’ strategic and business objectives.

Dedicated to pro bono work, Cody strives to devote significant time annually to representing abused, neglected, and abandoned children before Florida’s District Courts of Appeal. His commitment to service and legal excellence was shaped by his education at Florida State University and St. Thomas University School of Law, where he earned his J.D. with multiple distinctions. When not practicing law, he enjoys exercising and spending time with his wife, three children, and their English bulldog.
