Normally one must be a member of the bar to bring a lawsuit in that state. Exceptions would be Federal Court where an out of state attorney could be admitted on a one case at a time basis.

Certainly. If the attorney is not admitted to the Georgia bar, all he needs to do is affiliate with an attorney in Georgia. We do this all the time.
