Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Tennessee

small claims/general sessions court

Do I need to have an attorney to go to general sessions court. Someone (personal not business) owes me money and won't pay. I'd like to take them to court, then have them pay court costs as well, if possible, but don't know if I need an attorney up front.

No, you don't need a lawyer for that kind of case. You can explain the facts of your case as well as any attorney, in my opinion.
