Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

Re: Can I represent myself in a court higher than small claims?

I will also add that a company, such as a corporation or an LLC, must be represented by counsel in state or superior court. However, it sounds like the judgment is in your individual name, which means you technically can represent yourself in any court, civil or criminal, but it is rarely, if ever, advisable.

Re: Can I represent myself in a court higher than small claims?

In order to provide representation in State or Superior Court you must be well-versed in Georgia Practice and Procedure; skills that lawyers spend years acquiring. Therefore, it is not advisable to consider going to one of those courts unrepresented.

Of course, you can represent yourself in Georgia courts. However, in most instances, it is better to have an attorney.
