It was an honor and a privilege to represent you Kelvin. I thank you and your family for trusting me with your case.

Many remember him as the man wanted for murder, but now 24-year-old Kelvin Waye is a free man, acquitted by a jury this month on all charges.

John’s Story

Motivated to serve the diverse legal needs of a wider range of people, John co-founded Cox, Rodman, & Middleton, LLC, along with Christopher Middleton and Falen Cox. Since entering private practice, John has enjoyed practicing law in a wider variety of jurisdictions and venues. John handles cases from Municipality to County and State to Federal Courts, and he travels across coastal and middle Georgia to meet with clients, investigate cases, and handle court hearings. He provides highly personalized service focused on each client’s individual needs. He believes that advocating for people requires an attorney to at times play the role of a shield and at times play the role of a sword.

John began working as an attorney in the Eastern Judicial Circuit Public Defender’s Office in 2008, where he served the legal needs of indigent Chatham County citizens. Because of his initiative and skill set, he advanced directly to a trial team. During his tenure as an Assistant Public Defender, he resolved well over 1000 felony level cases, including innumerable dismissals and reductions and nearly 40 felony jury trials with a high percentage of favorable outcomes.

Due to his litigation skills and zealous advocacy, John was promoted to the Major Crimes Division of the Chatham County Superior Court in 2013. He was one of four defense litigators assigned full-time to that division upon its creation and conducted dozens of major crimes jury trials during a three-year span. John has received verdicts of acquittal in some of the most serious cases including multiple charges of Murder, Attempted Murder, Armed Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Aggravated So**my, Aggravated Child Molestation, and other high level felony offenses. He has also succeeded in attaining acquittals on lower level offenses including assorted theft, drug, DUI, and weapons related charges. Additionally, John is skilled in motions practice; he has won a number of dispositive legal motions and received favorable court rulings on various other strategic legal motions and objections regarding the admission or limitation of evidence. Through litigation, mitigation, and negotiation, he has received many reductions and dismissals of charges on behalf of clients.

John has a passion for assisting clients through periods of legal turmoil, and he practices “client-centered representation,” meaning that the client always remains both the focus and the driving force of the direction that the representation takes in pursuit of achievable goals in each client’s best interests. He believes that honest and confidential communication between attorney and client is the cornerstone of effective representation because trust begins with comprehension and compassion.

In addition to his work in the courtroom, John has also been involved in various community service endeavors. Along with several colleagues, he assisted in creating and expanding the “I Wish I Knew” (IWIK) initiative, which aims to reduce incarceration rates and increase graduation rates by educating and motivating school-aged youth to avoid legal pitfalls as they formulate and pursue life goals. He served as the coordinator and a presenter for the IWIK initiative. Through partnerships with various local organizations including Upward Bound, Step-up Savannah, Explorer Post / Learning for Life, Chatham County Youth Commission, and Summer Bonanza, Inc., IWIK presentations have been given to thousands of youth at numerous venues including schools, universities, churches, and community centers.

In 2015, he was a member of the Mayor’s Taskforce for Afterschool Initiatives aimed at increasing and improving resources and facilities for school-aged youth, and he also served as a member of the United States Attorney Savannah-Chatham Reentry Council, on a mission to reduce recidivism by addressing the need for improved access to social services and employment opportunities for citizens returning to the community following periods of incarceration. He has also been involved in a Restorative Justice committee through partnership with the Chatham County Juvenile Courts and the Savannah Mediation Center, among various other local entities, which is aimed at dismantling the school-to-prison pipeline and creating community conferences as alternatives to juvenile adjudications, thereby reducing juveniles’ exposure to the criminal justice system while better addressing harms caused by otherwise criminal behaviors among youth.

John currently serves as the Chair for the Board of Directors at the Kicklighter Resource Center, whose mission it is to improve the quality of life of children and adults with Autism and other developmental and physical disabilities. He is a former member of the Savannah Young Lawyers Division and the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and a current member of the Savannah Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Savannah Bar Association, the Port City Bar Association, and the Savannah NAACP.
