Meet Cody McCollum

Although born in Texas, Cody McCollum spent most of his life growing up in and around the Metro Atlanta area. He began his higher education at the University of Georgia, earning his undergraduate degree before spending several formative years working in the finance industry. Driven by a desire to transition into legal advocacy, Cody attended the University of Miami School of Law, where he excelled in his studies, completed his coursework early to graduate ahead of schedule, and promptly returned home to Metro Atlanta to start a family with his wife, Rebecca.

Upon entering the legal profession, Cody spent many years immersed in civil litigation as a defense attorney, ultimately rising to partner at two prominent national defense firms. During this substantial chapter of his career, he handled complex personal injury matters from the defense perspective, gaining an insider’s understanding of how major insurance companies and self-insured corporations evaluate claims, challenge medical evidence, assess liability, and formulate settlement strategies. This extensive defense background provided Cody with deep tactical insight and courtroom mastery spanning every phase of litigation, from early negotiations and trial verdicts through appellate advocacy.

Recognizing the profound impact that dedicated advocacy makes for people facing life-altering disruptions, Cody made the heartfelt choice to leave defense work behind and devote his career entirely to championing injured people. Today, he brings that wealth of defense experience to the Morgan & Morgan team at the Alpharetta office, using his knowledge of opposing tactics to anticipate insurance maneuvers and build proactive strategies. Approachable, grounded, and fiercely protective of his clients, Cody believes every person deserves an attorney who truly understands the claims process, working tirelessly to ensure everyday families are never treated like just another claim number.

Outside the courtroom, Cody treasures quality time at home with his wife and their three children, Savannah, Conor, and Carter. In his free time, he enjoys playing a round of golf, catching live stand-up comedy shows, cheering enthusiastically for Georgia Football, and perfecting his slow-smoked brisket on the weekend barbecue.
