CODY ORONA

A former deck officer, Cody Orona joined Schechter, Shaffer & Harris, LLP in 2026 as a licensed attorney after clerking for the firm’s maritime section throughout law school. After becoming licensed to practice in Texas and Florida, he has dedicated his time and effort to helping fellow mariners injured while out at sea.

“Because I have experienced the challenges that come with a career at sea, I truly enjoy guiding injured mariners through one of the most stressful and difficult times in their lives. Having spent long hitches away from family and friends, I’m proud to represent mariners because I understand how dangerous the marine environment can be.”

Cody is a graduate of South Texas College of Law, where he was a member of the nationally ranked advocacy program and was named a national finalist for the American Bar Association’s Arbitration Competition in 2025.
