(born October 19, 1952 in Raleigh, North Carolina) is an American attorney based in Atlanta, Georgia.
He is best known for representing Richard Jewell, the security guard falsely accused in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta in 1996.
Wood's representation of Richard Jewell inspired Dan Rather to call him the "attorney for the damned", and helped transform Wood from a personal injury lawyer to a nationally known defamation lawyer.
