Georgia gives you almost no time. Seven days to answer an eviction in Magistrate Court. Thirty days after a DUI arrest to save your license. From Atlanta and Savannah to Augusta, Macon, Columbus and the 154 counties outside metro Atlanta, our free hotline answers instantly — speak with an AI legal assistant trained on Georgia and federal law for plain-language information, then book a licensed Georgia attorney if you need one. Call 1-844-690-0555 now.
Free legal information. Not legal advice. Available 24/7 across Georgia.
Pick up your phone and call 1-844-690-0555 — it's free, it answers 24/7, and there's no income test or hold queue. Tell our AI legal assistant what happened in plain words: arrested for DUI, served with a dispossessory affidavit, hurt in a wreck on I-285, fighting over custody. You'll get clear legal information about your Georgia rights, which court your matter belongs in (159 counties make that genuinely confusing), and the deadlines that actually apply to you. This is legal information, not legal advice — but if you need someone to file or appear, we'll help you book a consultation with a Georgia-licensed attorney. Don't wait for legal aid's callback if your clock is already running.
Georgia follows modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar (O.C.G.A. 51-12-33). Translated: if you're found 50% or more at fault for your own injury, you recover nothing — zero. At 49% you can still recover, but your damages are cut by your share of the blame. So in a wreck on I-285 or a fall at a Gwinnett store, the whole fight is over how fault gets apportioned between you, the other driver, and even absent parties the jury is allowed to consider. Insurers know this and push to nudge you over the line. Before you give a recorded statement or accept a quick offer, call 1-844-690-0555 — get free information on how the 50% bar could affect your claim, then book a Georgia attorney if it's worth pursuing. Information, not legal advice.
Georgia has a real free-legal-help ecosystem — but it's income-gated, often slow, and rarely available at 2 a.m. when you actually need it. Eligibility usually turns on being at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Level, and intake runs through callbacks, online applications and weekday hours. If you qualify and your deadline isn't tonight, these organizations are excellent and you should use them. If you don't qualify, or your eviction answer is due in days, our hotline fills the gap: free, instant, 24/7, no income test. Here are the main Georgia resources worth knowing.
Wherever you are in Georgia, the line is free and answered 24/7 — including:
I got a DUI in Atlanta last night — what do I have to do right now?
Move fast. After a Georgia DUI arrest you generally have only 30 days to request an Administrative License Suspension (ALS) hearing or elect the ignition-interlock option, or your license is suspended on the 45th day. That deadline is separate from your criminal case in State or Superior Court. If you refused the state-administered chemical test under Georgia's implied-consent law, you can face a minimum one-year suspension. Most people don't realize the clock is already ticking. Call 1-844-690-0555 free right now for plain-language information on your options and deadlines, then book a Georgia DUI attorney before day 30. This is legal information, not legal advice.
I was served with eviction papers in Georgia. How long do I have?
Very little time. Once you're served with a dispossessory affidavit, you have just 7 days to file an answer in Magistrate Court — and Georgia files evictions in Magistrate Court, not Superior Court, which surprises a lot of tenants. If you don't answer by day 7, the landlord can request a writ of possession on the 8th day and you can lose by default without ever telling your side. Don't wait for a legal-aid callback if your week is running out. Call 1-844-690-0555 free, 24/7, for information on how to answer and what defenses may apply, then book a Georgia attorney if you need one. Information, not legal advice.
Do I actually have a case after my car accident in Georgia?
It depends heavily on fault, because Georgia uses a modified comparative-negligence rule with a 50% bar (O.C.G.A. 51-12-33). If you're found 50% or more at fault, you recover nothing; below that, your damages are reduced by your percentage of blame. So how fault is apportioned between you and the other driver can decide whether you have a viable claim. Before you give the insurer a recorded statement or accept a fast settlement, call 1-844-690-0555 free for legal information on how the 50% bar could affect you. If it's worth pursuing, we can help you book a Georgia personal-injury attorney. This is information, not legal advice.
How much is child support in Georgia in 2026?
The numbers changed. Georgia overhauled its child-support guidelines effective January 1, 2026 — including an updated worksheet and a mandatory parenting-time adjustment — so a figure you saw last year may be wrong. Support is calculated under O.C.G.A. 19-6-15 using both parents' incomes and the official online calculator, not a flat percentage. Custody and support matters are heard in Superior Court. For plain-language information on how the current guidelines work and what inputs matter, call 1-844-690-0555 free, 24/7. If you need help filing or modifying an order, we can connect you with a Georgia family-law attorney. This is information, not advice.
Can I clear my criminal record in Georgia?
Georgia calls it 'record restriction,' not expungement, and the rules are narrower than people expect. Senate Bill 288 expanded the ability to restrict and seal many misdemeanor convictions and certain non-conviction records — its provisions phased in across 2020 and 2021. Separately, completing a sentence under Georgia's First Offender Act lets eligible first-time offenders avoid a conviction on their record altogether. Most felony convictions still can't be restricted unless handled under First Offender or reversed on appeal, and offenses like DUI and several others are excluded. Eligibility is fact-specific. Call 1-844-690-0555 free for information on whether your record might qualify, then book a Georgia attorney to handle the filing if it does.
Is the call really free, and will I be talking to a lawyer?
The call to 1-844-690-0555 is genuinely free, available 24/7, with no income test and no hold queue. When you call, you speak with our AI legal assistant, trained on US federal law and the law of every state including Georgia. It gives you legal information — explaining your rights, the right court, and your deadlines — but it is not a law firm and does not give legal advice or act as your attorney. If you decide you need representation, we can connect you with an independent, Georgia-licensed attorney to book a consultation. That booking is a separate paid service; the information call itself costs nothing.
I'm getting divorced in Georgia and my spouse cheated — does that matter?
It can matter a lot. Georgia allows both no-fault divorce (the marriage is 'irretrievably broken') and fault-based divorce, and adultery is one of the statutory fault grounds. Adultery by a spouse can bar that spouse from receiving alimony and can influence how a judge divides property — Georgia uses equitable (fair, not automatically 50/50) division. Adultery is also technically a misdemeanor under O.C.G.A. 16-6-19, though it is essentially never prosecuted. Divorce is filed in Superior Court. Call 1-844-690-0555 free for plain-language information on grounds, alimony and property division, then book a Georgia divorce attorney if you want representation. Information, not legal advice.
I don't qualify for legal aid but can't afford a big firm. What now?
That's exactly the gap this hotline was built for. Georgia's free-aid programs — GLSP for the counties outside metro Atlanta, Atlanta Legal Aid for the five metro counties, Georgia Free Legal Answers — generally require income at or below 125% of the Federal Poverty Level and often run on callbacks and weekday hours. If you earn too much to qualify but aren't ready to cold-call an expensive firm, call 1-844-690-0555 free, 24/7. Get plain-language information about your situation with no income test and no waiting, and if you genuinely need a lawyer, book a consultation with a Georgia-licensed attorney on your terms. This is information, not legal advice.
Which Georgia court does my case even go to?
It's a fair question — Georgia has 159 counties, the second-most of any state, and five classes of trial court. As a rough guide: felonies, divorce and serious civil matters go to Superior Court; misdemeanors and traffic to State Court; evictions, garnishments and civil claims up to $15,000 to Magistrate Court; wills and guardianships to Probate Court; and juvenile matters to Juvenile Court. In metro Atlanta, your courthouse depends on which county — Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett or Clayton — you're in. Call 1-844-690-0555 free and we'll help you figure out where your matter belongs and what deadline applies before you hire anyone.
