Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia
expenses
I have an apartment complex that owes my business money for services rendered.
The management company is out of state. I know they have to have a registered agent in the state of Ga. I cannot find anything on the sec. of state site about them.
My question is, if I hire a locator company to find the registered agent for this apartment community, is the fee to find this registered agent compensable automatically in the small claims court? ( like court costs and service)

Re: expenses
Unfortunately, no. No damages are automatic in a civil suit. You must prove the damages and the court (or jury) must award them. Of course, if there is a provision in the contract with the apartment complex that requires them to pay such damages, that would be good proof.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
