Steve Cody was born in Massachusetts, but has has lived in Florida almost all of his life. He received his Bachelor's degree from Florida State University and then went on to receive his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Florida College of Law.

Steve concentrates his practice in the areas of litigation and appellate work. He is a member of the Florida Bar and is admitted to practice before all of the Florida courts, as well as the United States Supreme Court, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida.

After graduating law school, Steve served as a legislative aide to Representative William E. Sadowski. Sadowski was a member of the Florida House. While with the Legislature, Steve helped to author the Florida Voting Rights Act and the Florida Limited Liability Company Act, among other pieces of legislation. He worked on the sunset review of various parts of the Florida Statutes, including the Florida Insurance Code and the Regulated Industries (Gaming) Code. He was also extensively involved in the reapportionment of the Florida House, Florida Senate, and United States Congressional districts for Florida.

Since entering private practice he has represented the Florida House of Representatives during the period 2001-2004, the Gore/Lieberman campaign in 2000, and the City of Miami. Past and present representative clients include the Royal Bank of Canada, Refco Group, Paine Webber, Banco de Balboa, Banco de Santander, Banco Exterior de Espana, AIG, former Congresswoman Carrie Meek, Rhode Island Hospital Trust, Cessna Finance Corporation, Sears, Dun & Bradstreet, and AT&T. Steve has also represented numerous persons with disabilities and organizations concerned with the rights of the disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Martindale-Hubbell has rated Steve as an "A-V" attorney recognizing him as a lawyer with pre-eminent legal abilities, reflecting his overall expertise, experience, integrity, and professionalism.
Significant reported cases include: In re Constitutionality of House Joint Resolution 25E, 863 So.2d 1176 (Fla. 2003); Martinez v. Bush, 234 F.Supp.2d 1275 (S.D. Fla. 2002); Florida Senate v. Forman, 826 So.2d 279 (Fla. 2002); In re: Constitutionality of House Joint Resolution 1987, 817 So.2d 819 (Fla. 2002); Brown v. Butterworth, 831 So.2d 683 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002); Shotz v. City of Plantation, 248 F.3d 1180 (11th Cir. 2001); Meek v. Metropolitan Dade County, 985 F.2d 1471 (11th Cir. 1993); Meek v. Metropolitan Dade County, 805 F.Supp 967 (S.D. Fla. 1992); 1401 Brickell Associates, Ltd. v. Stinson, Lyons & Schuette, P.A, 522 So.2d 459 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988); Lowy v Roberts, 453 So.2d 886 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984).
Because of Steve's unswerving efforts to bring fairness to the way in which members of the Miami-Dade County Commissioners were elected, the very Commission that Steve forced to reform, proclaimed May 18, 1993 as "Stephen Cody Day" in Miami-Dade County.
