Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in Georgia
My former wife is appealing a small claims court award I got (about $1800) in Georgia. She now has an attorney and has requested a jury trial for the appeal. Can I represent myself? An attorney estimated it would cost about $5000 to represent me (to try to collect $1800!)
Thanks.
