Common Questions
Most civil lawsuits in Georgia take between 6 months and 2 years to resolve. Simple contract disputes may settle in a few months through negotiation or mediation. Complex business litigation, real estate disputes, or cases that go to trial can take 1-3 years or longer. The timeline depends on court schedules, the complexity of discovery, and whether the parties are willing to negotiate. Overbird Law pursues the fastest resolution possible while protecting your interests.
Mediation is a voluntary, confidential process where a neutral mediator helps both parties negotiate a settlement. It is typically faster and less expensive than trial. A trial is a formal court proceeding where a judge or jury makes a binding decision. Many Georgia courts require mediation before trial. At Overbird Law, we prepare every case for trial but pursue mediation or negotiation when it can achieve a favorable outcome more efficiently.
Georgia court filing fees typically range from $50 to $250 depending on the court and type of case. However, the total cost of litigation includes attorney fees, discovery costs, expert witnesses, deposition expenses, and court reporter fees, which can add up significantly. During your free consultation, Overbird Law will discuss fee arrangements and give you a realistic picture of expected costs for your specific case.
Yes. Georgia law allows you to sue for breach of contract when another party fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. To prevail, you must prove a valid contract existed, the other party breached it, and you suffered damages as a result. The statute of limitations for written contracts in Georgia is six years (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-24) and four years for oral contracts (O.C.G.A. § 9-3-25).
