Cody will be serving our clients from our South Bend office, located at 125 North St. Peter Street. South Bend, IN 46617

Cody Galvan is a recent graduate of the Indiana University Maurer School of Law, class of 2022, and holds an MBA from Sungkyunkwan University. His academic background, combined with an undergraduate degree from Purdue University, has equipped him with a robust legal foundation.

With previous experience as a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney at both the Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office and the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office, Cody has developed a keen insight into the legal system that will prove invaluable in his new role at Wilson & Kinsman.

Cody’s interests extend beyond the legal field. He is a musician, a poet, and a sports enthusiast, and brings a unique perspective to our firm that resonates with our commitment to community and compassion.

Cody is also looking forward to making a positive impact at both our offices, located at 125 N. Saint Peter St in South Bend and 301 North Nappanee Street in Elkhart, where his experience will continue to uphold the firm’s legacy of excellence.

Please join us in welcoming Cody Galvan to Wilson & Kinsman. We are confident that his contributions will fortify our mission to deliver the highest standard of legal representation to our clients.

Whenever possible, I believe in an aggressive defense aimed at obtaining a dismissal or reduction of the charge. When appropriate, I will challenge the admissibility of evidence and the truthfulness of witnesses through pre-trial motions and hearings. Outright victory is never impossible; however, certain cases warrant aggressive negotiation. In every case, I work to build the strongest defense possible, designed to protect your rights, preserve your freedom and obtain the best result.

testimonial

I was charged with an OWI in Elkhart County and Eric was my first call. He was very helpful and personable throughout the entire process. I certainly appreciated his honesty and professionalism. Eric is definitely well experienced in handling these matters. Thanks to his help and guidance, we were able to have all of our necessary steps done before going to court that helped to retain driving privileges. The judge even remarked at how well the case had been managed during the hearing. With Eric's help, I was able to obtain specialized driving privileges very promptly. I am still able to tend to my life's responsibilities and my work. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone else needing help with OWI/DUI charges.
