do i need a lawyer from where i live to file a complint and sue for my money back the lawyer is in Georgia or do i need a lawyer from georgia

That depends on whether the state where you live has any basis to exercise jurisdiction over the Georgia attorney, which would depend on what contacts the attorney has with the state in which you live - does he/she do business in your state?  Advertise in your state?  Own property in your state?  Is he/she admitted to practice law in your state?  What, if anything, does the retainer agreement say about jurisdiction/venue?  Does it have an arbitration provision? Unless you're sure that your state can exercise jurisdiction over the attorney, you're safest bet is to sue in Georgia with a Georgia attorney.
