Tracee R. Benzo opened the doors to Benzo Law with the overarching mission to both educate and advocate for injured workers across the state of Georgia. As the daughter of a retired, textile worker in rural Aiken, SC, Ms. Benzo knows the devastating effects traumatic injuries, or loss of life can unleash on families.

As an advocate for the injured and their loved ones, she extends her services beyond courtroom litigation and dedicates her resources to ensuring Benzo Law clients and family transition from their darkest days to brighter days ahead. Described by her colleagues in the legal field as tenacious, rock solid, and engaging,

Ms. Benzo works just as relentlessly in her community as in the courtroom by serving on numerous executive boards. She is the newly installed, 34 th President of the DeKalb Lawyers Association for 2019. She is an immediate past member of the Leadership Georgia Class of 2018.

In 2014 she proudly served as President of The Georgia Association of Black Women Attorneys (GABWA). It was under attorney Benzo’s stellar leadership that GABWA observed the theme, “Honoring our Past…Envisioning our Future” which entailed creating the documentary HerStory, a commemoration of the trailblazing history of GABWA. She also led the body of more than 850 members in their endeavors to increase diversity in the Judiciary of Georgia, and to further the group’s advocacy of women and children by partnering with Families First, a 501c (3) nonprofit organization
serving more than 37,000 children, women, and families in crises in the state of Georgia. Today Ms. Benzo remains an active board member of GABWA and the GABWA Foundation.

Ms. Benzo is a rising star in the Georgia legal system and received several prestigious honors such as the Distinguished Alumni Award from John Marshall Law School.
