I'm willing to go into debt to pay for a lawyer to fight this just on principle.
I lived and worked for a while in SE Ga. worked in Camden County a great deal.
I'm here to tell you (1) lawyering up won't speed up the process, and (2) it's still a very small county with the power structure that's been entrenched since the 19th century, and "lawyering up" will bite you in the butt long term especially you being new and all.
I'm telling you from real life experience, I realize in the internet world that doesn't count for much.
