It may be possible to use Georgia's "long arm statute":
The Georgia Long Arm Statute, O.C.G.A. § 9-10-91, provides in pertinent part that "[a] court of this state may exercise personal jurisdiction over any nonresident . . . as to a cause of action arising from any of the acts, omissions, ownership, use, or possession enumerated in this Code section, in the same manner as if he were a resident of the state, if in person or through an agent, he:
(1) Transacts any business within this state;
(2) Commits a tortious act or omission within this state, except as to a cause of action for defamation of character arising from the act;
(3) Commits a tortious injury in this state caused by an act or omission outside this state if the tort-feasor regularly does or solicits business, or engages in any other persistent course of conduct, or derives substantial revenue from goods used or consumed or services rendered in this state;
(4) Owns, uses, or possesses any real property situated within this state."
Otherwise, engage the services of a New York lawyer or a Georgia law firm that has offices in New York.

Determine the jurisdiction of the transaction. If this happened in Georgia, you can sue using Georgia courts.

Contact an attorney in the area where you would like to file suit. You need one that is licensed in the jurisdiction where the action happened.
