Re: Filing a Pleadings

Look at OCGA �9-11-7 et seq. I would not recommend representing yourself in any litigation, with the possible exception of cases in magistrate (small claims) court.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

There are no "forms". Each case has to be addressed separately. You should at least consult with a local attorney before undertaking this yourself.
