About Peter J
Peter J Wosnik built a career that crosses courthouse halls and academic study. He holds a J.D. (2017) from Emory University School of Law, a Master of Theological Studies (2017) from Emory University, and a B.A. (2012) in History and Religious Studies from Utah State University. Those credentials reflect an interest in law that sits alongside wider questions about ethics and community.
His legal training was marked by a mix of courtroom exposure and research. While at Emory he worked as a research assistant and later held law clerk positions that touched on federal and private interests. Internships during law school included stints at the West Valley City Prosecutor's Office and the Gwinnett County District Lawyer's Office. He also worked as a law clerk for the American Center for Law and Justice and for the United States Lawyer's Office in Utah.
After graduating, he moved into public defense work. In 2017 he served as an assistant public defender in the Walton County Public Defender's Office. That role put him in front of juries and in plea negotiations. He then launched his own practice the following year. He founded Wosnik Law, LLC in 2018 and has operated the firm since.
His bar credentials include admission to the courts in Georgia and the Supreme Court of Georgia. He holds certification as a Guardian Ad Litem through the State Bar of Georgia. Professional memberships include the Walton County Bar Association, the Gwinnett County Bar Association, the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the Georgia Trial Lawyers Association, and the J. Reuben Clark Law Society. Those affiliations connect him to local trial lawyers and to organizations focused on defense work.
His courtroom work reflects his early public defender experience. He has handled criminal matters and has represented clients at various stages of prosecution and trial. He also accepts Guardian Ad Litem appointments, which put him into family-court contexts where court-appointed representation is required. The practice appears to combine criminal defense litigation and court-appointed representation in family-related proceedings.
He runs Wosnik Law, LLC and continues to practice in Georgia. His current practice centers on criminal defense and related trial work.
