ATTORNEY NICHOLAS BENZINE

After being raised in Roswell, Georgia, Mr. Benzine attended Hofstra University in New York. While at Hofstra he majored in Political Science and during his final year had the opportunity to work for The United States Attorney's Office in Washington D.C. It was there, while working in the Homicide/Major Crimes Division, that his interest and passion for Law was born. In those early days he learned imperative skills and tools when not only attacking a criminal case, but also claim handling that he still uses in practice today.

After graduation, he returned home to Mercer University where he obtained his law degree. While at Mercer he worked for The Witterman Firm, a small Roswell firm with a specialty in Business and Construction Law. He also clerked for Hill, Kertscher, and Wharton, where he worked on specialized civil matters in the areas of Intellectual Property, Employment, Corporate Shareholder disputes, and Workers Compensation.

Mr. Benzine was also provided a "behind the scenes" look at the operation of both the criminal and civil systems when he had the unique opportunity to work for The Honorable Judge Ben Studdard at Henry County State Court. While there, he was able to view and participate in the inner workings of everything from DUI's to speeding tickets, to landlord tenant disputes to breach of contract from the Judge's chambers!   

For 7 years he worked as an Insurance Defense Attorney for Cuzdey, Ehrmann, Wagner, Stine, Sansalone and Bobe where he become an expert in both insurance defense and workplace injuries while continuing to represent criminal defendants. He is also a current member of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.
