More details to this question:
My previous employer owes me $1,060.00 in commission from last November and is refusing to pay me now. I have all document paper work and lots of email and text exchanges. Is it worth going to court and getting the money or is it going to cost me more than that in Fees?

If you hired a lawyer, it would probably cost you more than that in fees, as I doubt that you could find an attorney who would agree to handle that small a matter on a contingency.  However, you can represent yourself.  Also, it is possible that, as some states do, Georgia has a statute which provides for the recovery of additional damages and/or reasonable attorneys' fees where wages are withheld (although the fees would have to be commensurate with the claim).
