Generally, to avoid jurisdictional objections from the defendant, the safest course of action is to sue the defendant in the county in which he or she resides. If you want to sue a business or corporation, generally it is best if you sue in the county where the business is located or in the county where corporation's registered agent is located. The law on which county to sue in is complicated and there are many exceptions. You should consult an attorney if you do not want to sue in the county where a defendant person resides, a defendant corporation has a registered agent or a defendant company (not incorporated) does business.
