Cody Christiansen is a personal injury and senior trial attorney at The Barnes Firm, serving clients across Oakland, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area. A veteran trial lawyer with over a decade of litigation experience, Cody is committed to securing justice for individuals and families who have suffered life-altering injuries due to negligence.
Before joining The Barnes Firm, Cody practiced law extensively throughout Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, and San Francisco counties, handling more than 1,500 criminal cases ranging from misdemeanors to violent felonies. This early courtroom experience gave him a powerful foundation in advocacy, negotiation, and trial procedure — skills he now applies to civil cases with equal tenacity.
Today, Cody focuses exclusively on personal injury law, representing victims of auto and trucking collisions, catastrophic brain and spinal injuries, premises liability, defective products, and wrongful death. His ability to navigate both criminal and civil courtrooms gives him a distinct advantage: he knows how to prepare a case for trial from day one and how to leverage that readiness to achieve maximum results for his clients.
At The Barnes Firm, Cody brings a client-first approach, marked by empathy, accessibility, and fierce advocacy. He believes every injured person deserves a lawyer who not only understands the law but also understands what’s at stake for their life and family. His background in multiple California jurisdictions allows him to offer clients strategic, well-informed representation rooted in real courtroom experience.
