Our Story
A Critical Need
Codias Law was founded to fill a national void: the absence of meaningful legal representation for U.S. citizens harmed by immigration fraud. For decades, immigration law functioned as an administrative benefit system for foreign nationals, leaving Americans unprotected when those laws were abused. As fraud increasingly spilled into family courts, criminal proceedings, and civil protective-order matters, no institution existed to advocate for the citizens caught in these crises. Codias Law ensures that Americans deceived, exploited, or falsely accused in the immigration system finally have dedicated, informed, and forceful representation.
Who We Serve
Codias Law represents U.S. citizens exclusively. Clients come from every background—everyday Americans, high-net-worth individuals, media figures, intelligence-community professionals, and contractors with access to sensitive government facilities. Despite their differences, they share a common experience: deception by foreign nationals who sought immigration benefits through manipulation, exploitation, or false allegations. Many faced abandonment, financial harm, or fabricated claims of abuse. Codias Law guides these individuals through some of the darkest chapters of their lives, offering clarity, structure, and advocacy in a system that often prioritizes foreign interests over the rights of U.S. citizens.
What We Do
Codias Law operates in different roles at both state and federal levels. In state courts, Codias Law supports local counsel in annulments based on immigration fraud, defenses against improper I-864 enforcement, civil protective-order cases involving fabricated abuse claims, and criminal matters influenced by U visa allegations. Federally, the firm assists clients in withdrawing petitions, conducts detailed fraud investigations, prepares comprehensive legal assessments, and advises on appropriate actions when fraud is substantiated. Every matter is handled with a disciplined, evidence-driven methodology that reflects the seriousness and lasting consequences of immigration fraud for victims.
How We Work
Codias Law accepts only a limited number of matters to ensure the rigor each case requires. After engagement, the firm conducts structured intake, detailed factual review, and meticulous organization of evidence. Investigative tools are used to develop witness profiles and construct precise timelines revealing patterns of deception or manufactured claims. These efforts culminate in exhaustive fraud assessments—often more than one hundred pages—where each conclusion is supported by evidence and grounded in governing law. This disciplined approach provides victims and their local counsel with clarity, leverage, and confidence at every stage.
National Leadership
Codias Law’s national impact was underscored on June 25, 2025, when Managing Attorney Cody M. Brown testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement. His oral testimony addressed the broader immigration-fraud crisis, while his written submission delivered a historic, data-driven indictment of how federal agencies have enabled widespread marriage fraud. Drawing on years of casework and quantitative analysis, he exposed structural failures in adjudication, showed how fraud is rewarded, and proposed actionable reforms under existing law. His work continues to influence national policy discussions on immigration integrity.
