Baker County Personal Injury and Criminal Defense — start with the event location, responding agency, and named court.
A Baker County injury or criminal-defense matter may involve several distinct places and records. Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal injury and criminal defense services statewide in Georgia, with its listed office in Valdosta. For an individual matter, counsel can assess the information and available records. The local contacts below distinguish county administration from the court-document office; neither contact by itself establishes where a particular case will be heard.
For an injury or criminal accusation
For a personal injury matter, organize what happened, where it happened, and any records or communications you already have. The firm offers personal injury services and can assess the information and available evidence for your situation; this general page is not advice about an individual claim.
For a criminal accusation, identify the actual responding agency and the court named in any paperwork. The firm offers criminal defense services and can assess the matter and available records. Do not assume a county administrative office or a court-record contact identifies the venue for an individual proceeding.

Separate the event location from local offices
Record the specific event location as accurately as possible, rather than relying only on a county label. Note which agency actually responded and preserve any paperwork that identifies an agency or court. These details help distinguish the event itself from later administrative or court records.
Baker County identifies its county administration at 439 Georgia Highway 91 NW, Newton, Georgia 39870, with a separate mailing address of PO Box 607. The county lists 229-734-3000 as its contact number. This is a county-administration contact, not proof that it is the court-document office or the location for a particular hearing.
The county identifies the Clerk of Court separately. Its court-clerk site lists a physical address at 167 Baker Place, Newton, Georgia 39870, phone 229-734-3004, and a separate mailing address of PO Box 10. Keep the physical and mailing addresses distinct when sorting records or correspondence.

What the court-clerk contact is for
The Baker County Clerk of Court identifies court-document filing, recording, and retrieval among its roles. That makes it a relevant contact when you are identifying court documents; it does not establish that every record is held there, that every proceeding occurs there, or that all records are available without restriction.
If a document names a court, use the name on the document when organizing the matter. The clerk’s court-document role and the county administration contact are different; neither, on its own, determines the venue or the records available for a particular case. For an individual matter, counsel can assess the documents and help identify what information is relevant.
