Written by an experienced lawyer with more than a decade of experience in this area of the law as both litigator and mediator, this brief yet information-packed book complements, rather than replaces, the many available legal treatises on the subject. The reader is guided through the entire \u201cdispossessory\u201d (eviction) process, beginning with concerns to be addressed before suit is even filed, and continuing throughout all phases of litigation, including trial, mediation, appeals, and the eviction process itself. The book is also liberally sprinkled with practice pointers and helpful hints designed to maximize the landlord\u2019s potential for success.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Roboto'; font-size: 34px; color: #993300; border-bottom: 2px solid #ebebeb; padding-bottom: 5px;\">Free Resources<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Roboto';\">A number of forms are provided <a title=\"in the book\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Brief-Guide-Georgia-Evictions-ebook-dp-B01EIJYESW\/dp\/B01EIJYESW\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&amp;me=&amp;qid=1562183938&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=miked02-20&amp;linkId=c0c622af15e05bbfccdedabe09b59dc2&amp;language=en_US\">in the book<\/a> for the reader\u2019s convenience.
