A: A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks and time is usually of the essence in responding to motions and pleadings. What you describe sounds like it could possibly be something problematic - but still needs more information. As a GENERAL matter in ANY jurisdiction, an attorney would want to know when the cause of action arose, what the statute of limitations is, more information about the dismissal, etc. You could reach out to attorneys to ask them what they would charge for a consult to look at your paperwork - that could be a starting point. Good luck
