Hiring an attorney is not a requirement or prerequisite to going to court. HOWEVER, I strongly recommend that you consult and/or hire an attorney prior to going to Court or filing any documents with the Court. Personally, even being a lawyer, I would not represent myself in court. There's an old saying that "a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client." If you cannot afford an attorney, there are options available for free legal help in Georgia (if you qualify). Let me know if you need a referral.

Best of luck.*******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
