Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Georgia

Small Claims Matters

I would like to file a small claims against someone who lives in the state of Georgia. I really do not want to come to Georgia for the hearing. What is the process for filing a claim against someone in another state, and would I have to be present, or could I retain the services of an attorney?
