Wood represented Richard Jewell,[6][7][8][9] the security guard falsely accused in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta in 1996.

Wood claimed that a secret cabal of international communists, Chinese intelligence, and Republican officials had contrived to steal the election from Trump.

[13][14] Sometimes in association with Trump's attorney, Sidney Powell, Wood litigated on the president's behalf in many failed lawsuits, which sought to prevent the certification of ballots in the presidential election.

[15] In the latter part of 2020, Wood's calls for the imprisonment of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, based on the theory that the two Republican officials worked with the Chinese to help rig the vote for Biden, and the execution of Vice President Mike Pence "by firing squad" attracted considerable attention.

[20][2] On March 15, 2024, a federal lawsuit was filed against him for conversion, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and fraud, posted on his Telegram Channel, "Lin Wood Speaks Truth".

[7][8][9][27] Wood's first libel and defamation client was Richard Jewell,[6][7][8][9] the security guard accused in the Centennial Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta in 1996.

[30] Wood represented John and Patsy Ramsey and their son Burke, pursuing defamation claims on their behalf against St. Martin's Press, Time Inc., The Fox News Channel, American Media, Inc., Star, The Globe, Court TV and The New York Post.

The Ramseys were defended in those lawsuits by Lin Wood and three other Atlanta attorneys, James C. Rawls, Eric P. Schroeder, and S. Derek Bauer.

The first suit was filed against Dr. Werner Spitz, a Michigan-based forensic pathologist, over his assertion in a promotional CBS Detroit radio interview that Burke killed his sister when she was a young child.

Wood and lawyer John Pierce formed Rittenhouse's initial defense team, although neither were licensed to practice in Wisconsin, where the case was filed.

The Journal Sentinel quoted several defense lawyers criticizing their involvement and potential conflict of interest over their control of the donated money.

Days later, the prosecutor in the case alleged that FightBack was an "unregulated and opaque ‘slush fund’", and that the donations to the defense should have instead been held in a trust.

[48] Wood was the lead attorney in Nicholas Sandmann's defamation suits against a number of media companies, including CNN and The Washington Post.

[49] In December 2019, Wood lost a multi-million defamation case for Vernon Unsworth against Elon Musk who had branded him a "pedo guy".

[51][10] He also represented Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the couple who aimed firearms towards Black Lives Matter protestors in St. Louis in June 2020.

[52] Wood has circulated multiple videos alleging that Cobb County, Georgia shredded evidence of voter fraud in the November 2020 general election, and his Twitter profile includes the hashtag #WWG1WGA (where we go one, we go all), a slogan associated with the far-right QAnon conspiracy theory.

[63][64] Karsnitz described the allegations about Roberts as "too disgusting and outrageous to repeat," and stated that he had "no doubt" that Wood's tweets (along with "many other things") played a role in inciting the attack on the Capitol that occurred a few days before.

After the attack on the Capitol, Wood claimed that members of the pro-Trump mob were antifa activists in disguise and that Vice President Mike Pence was a "child molester".

[71] On November 13, 2020, after Joe Biden defeated Trump in the presidential election in Georgia, Wood filed a lawsuit in the federal district court in Atlanta, naming himself as plaintiff.

Wood claimed that Georgia's procedures for handling absentee ballots had been unconstitutional since March 2020 and sought to block certification of the state's election results.

[75] Wood's lawsuit failed on November 19, 2020, when U.S. District Judge Steven Grimberg, who was appointed by Trump, found "no basis in fact or in law" to stop Georgia's certification of its election results at such a late stage, as this would "breed confusion and potential disenfranchisement".

The court found that Wood had failed "to allege a particularized injury" and his request to delay certification was in any case moot because Georgia had by then already certified its election results.

Wood sought an emergency injunction to halt the Senatorial runoff election for the two United States Senate seats from Georgia.

[83] Parker also suggested that Wood and Powell's motive for filing the case was not to win, but to shake "people's faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government"[84][85] and that granting their requests would "greatly harm the public interest.

[87] On August 25, 2021, the Court ruled that Wood, Powell, and the other plaintiff's counsel "filed this lawsuit in bad faith and for an improper purpose"; ordered them to pay attorney's fees of some of the defendants; and referred them to their respective state bars for disciplinary action.

In explaining his decision, Judge Karsnitz wrote[64] that Wood's actions in the Georgia and Wisconsin election-related lawsuits "exhibited a toxic stew of mendacity, prevarication, and surprising incompetence.

Wood responded that the lawsuit was a "shakedown" for money, claiming that the communications were "irrelevant" and from "a difficult time in my personal life arising primarily from my family's reaction to my faith in Jesus Christ.

[101][102] On August 5, 2024, the Fulton County Court’s (live video) extended motions, his second criminal contempt hearing determined Wood violated the non-disparagement order.

"[113] In 2023, facing sanctions and possible disbarment due to his election litigation, Wood retired and surrendered his license to practice law in Georgia.

State bar officials said that Wood's retirement had "achieved the goals of disciplinary action, including protecting the public and the integrity of the judicial system and the legal profession.
