In the better part of four years, I have come to know Pete as a brother of the bar. He is always professional with a sense of humor that would rouse and win others to his side. He is a top-notch litigator and all-around fantastic attorney, and friend.

Biography

Peter J. Wosnik is a talented trial lawyer who has defended people in hundreds of felony and misdemeanor criminal cases throughout Georgia. He has taken multiple cases to trial and has achieved not-guilty verdicts for charges such as drug trafficking and possession, battery, and criminal trespass.

Pete tried his first felony case before getting his bar results and achieved not-guilty verdicts on both charges for his client. In addition to acquittals, he has helped clients receive dismissals in charges of aggravated assault, child cruelty, robbery, burglary, criminal damage to property, theft by taking, and more.

Beyond success in criminal cases, Pete also manages a growing family law practice that helps clients with cases involving divorce, child custody, child support, contempt, legitimation, temporary protective orders, and adoption. He has served as a Guardian ad Litem in juvenile court, where he represents the best interest of children in dependency and other cases.

Pete is a graduate of Emory University School of Law (Juris Doctor) and Candler School of Theology (Master of Theological Studies) where he was awarded a merit scholarship and was the recipient of the Savage-Levey scholarship in law and religion. He competed on the law and religion moot court team, worked as a student editor for the Journal of Law and Religion, and served as president of Emory’s Criminal Law Society.

While in law school, Pete interned for federal, county, and city prosecutors’ offices, where he learned first-hand how prosecutors build and carry out their cases. He now uses that experience to his advantage in his criminal defense practice.

Pete is currently the Treasurer of the Walton County Bar Association and is a member of the Criminal Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia and the Georgia Association for Criminal Defense Lawyers. He is admitted to the practice of law in both the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of Georgia.
