Nicholas Zbrzeznj attended Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, Florida. During law school, he maintained a class rank of number 2 through all six semesters, was a Staff Editor on the Florida Coastal Law Review, obtained a Sports Law Certificate and Pro Bono Honors Award, served as a research assistant, and clerked for a civil litigation firm. Upon graduation, Nick took the Florida Bar. Based on Nick’s high score on the Florida Bar Exam, he was selected by the Florida Supreme Court to speak at the fall 2012 Induction Ceremony.
Nick began his legal career as an Assistant State Attorney at the State Attorney’s Office for the Tenth Judicial Circuit (in Bartow), where he had the honor to serve under then State Attorney, Jerry Hill. As a prosecutor, Nick was quickly assigned to the Special Projects Division, where he honed not only his litigation and trial skills but also his ability to master difficult factual and legal issues while handling a heavy caseload. Nick took great pride in the service he provided to his community through his work as a prosecutor and is grateful for the opportunity he had to develop into an experienced trial attorney.
Prior to joining the Southern Atlantic Law Group, Nick worked at a civil litigation firm in Bartow, Florida, for over five years. During this time, Nick’s entire practice was devoted to civil litigation and appellate practice with a focus in catastrophic personal injury, business disputes, and marital and family law. Nick ensures he serves the best interest of his clients through providing honest, practical, and knowledgeable counsel in their cases.
