District Attorney Glenn Funk has appointed the first Latina Assistant District Attorney to serve in Davidson County Criminal Court.
According to a release issued Monday, General Lody Limbird has been assigned to Division VI Criminal Court where she handles prosecution of domestic violence cases with a special interest in aggravated assault by strangulation.
The Colombia native graduated from the Nashville School of Law and Middle Tennessee State University.
“It is an honor and a great responsibility to be named the first Latina ADA appointed to Criminal Court,” General Limbird said. “In order to understand the needs of the people we serve, it is important for public servants to also reflect the diversity of the community.”
Limbird previously worked as a legal secretary for the Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence and as an assistant at Room in the Inn at the Campus for Human Development.
