Which court handles civil disputes for Johns Creek residents and businesses?

Civil disputes involving Johns Creek parties are filed in Fulton County courts. Claims above $15,000 (or cases involving equitable relief such as injunctions) are filed in Fulton County Superior Court. Claims between $15,000 and $25,000 may also be filed in Fulton County State Court. Small claims up to $15,000 are handled in Fulton County Magistrate Court. For injunctive relief — often critical in non-compete and trade secret cases — Fulton County Superior Court is the venue. GA Law Group handles civil litigation in all Fulton County courts.

I have a business dispute with a former partner in my Johns Creek company. What are my options?

Business partner disputes in closely held Johns Creek companies typically involve claims for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of the operating agreement or shareholder agreement, and in serious cases, conversion of company assets. Your first step is to review your operating agreement or shareholder agreement for dispute resolution provisions — many require mediation before litigation, and some specify arbitration. If litigation is the right path, Fulton County Superior Court has jurisdiction over most business disputes, and Georgia courts have well-developed law on member and shareholder rights in closely held entities. GA Law Group evaluates the merits of business partner disputes and advises on whether negotiated resolution or litigation better serves your specific interests.

Can I get an emergency injunction to enforce a non-compete against a former Johns Creek employee?

Yes, and Fulton County Superior Court is where such relief is obtained. Georgia's Restrictive Covenants Act allows employers to seek temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions when a former employee is violating a valid non-compete or non-solicitation agreement. The court evaluates whether the agreement is enforceable, whether a breach is occurring, and whether the employer would suffer irreparable harm without an injunction. Time is critical in these situations — the longer a violation continues, the harder it is to establish irreparable harm. If you discover a former Johns Creek employee is soliciting your clients or working for a direct competitor in violation of their agreement, contact GA Law Group promptly to evaluate your options.
