Douglas “Colby” Godwin joined MRLP in 2026 as a Provisional Associate Attorney in the Evictions Department. While awaiting the results of the Georgia Bar Examination, Colby supports the firm’s eviction practice and assists with matters involving the enforcement of clients’ property rights.
Before joining MRLP, Colby worked for two years as a law clerk with an elder law and estate planning firm while attending law school. Through this experience, he gained exposure to elder law, estate planning, heirs’ property law, quiet title actions, and real estate matters. He also spent approximately a year and a half working for a regional bank, providing him with additional experience in a professional financial services environment.
Colby approaches his work with careful attention to detail, persistence, and a strong commitment to effective communication. His active listening, adaptability, and collaborative approach allow him to evaluate matters thoughtfully and work productively with colleagues as he assists in advancing client objectives.
Outside of work, Colby enjoys hiking, traveling, beach vacations, and spending time with his corgi, Knoxie.
