Courts in Georgia

Most civil and criminal matters in Georgia start in the state's trial courts and can be reviewed on appeal, though some matters begin in federal, administrative, or specialized forums. Which courthouse handles a case depends on where you live and what kind of case it is. Court-by-court guides for Georgia are in preparation.

What is coming next for this page: city pages for Atlanta and other metros, practice area pages, and the first attorney listings, built from public bar records. We publish in small waves and only link what already exists.

Official resources in Georgia

Two official sources sit behind every Georgia listing and are worth knowing directly: the licensing body that verifies every attorney here, and the court system that will hear most cases.

• State Bar of Georgia is where Georgia attorney licenses are issued and where you can check any attorney's standing yourself.
• Georgia Courts, Judicial Council of Georgia publishes court locations, filing rules, and self-help information for Georgia cases.
