Non-Compete Agreements in the state of Georgia

My current employer has a standard non-compete agreement and uses it as a 'weapon" . I've heard that in Georgia a non-compete is not binding... one of the clients has offered me a position, but I am positive this company will at least threaten to sue... any idea what my options are ?
