Representing Workers In Georgia Since 1978

Gary M. Kazin

GA Worker Comp Attorney

A native southerner and Georgia resident of more than 30 years , I earned my law degree from Atlanta's Emory University in 1978. In 1982, I started my practice as a worker comp attorney in GA representing victims in workers' compensation cases.

I am an AV® PreeminentTM Peer Review RatedSM attorney by Martindale-Hubbell®. This rating is reserved for attorneys whose peers believe them to have the highest level of professional knowledge and ethics.

Since 1992, I have been a member of the Chairman's Advisory Council of the State Board of Workers Compensation.  As a GA worker comp attorney, I have organized and spoken yearly at regional seminars sponsored by the State Board of Workers Compensation since 1992.  I have also organized and spoken at many different seminars throughout the state for fellow lawyers and others. 

I have also served as a faculty member on the Georgia Workers Compensation Claim Management Training Program.

Practice areas

In order to serve you better, I exclusively handle GA workers compensation claims and I am a trusted, knowledgeable workers comp attorney in GA. However, to meet any additional legal needs beyond workers compensation, I can refer you to other skilled attorneys.
