Identify the municipal document you are seeking
Milledgeville’s City Clerk coordinates city records management and maintains contracts, ordinances, resolutions and agreements. Those categories give you specific terms to use when identifying a municipal document. If you already have part of a document, keep its title, date and issuing office with your notes rather than relying on a general description such as city paperwork.
The city publishes both original and fillable open-records request forms. Keep the form resource with the description of the city record you are seeking. If you have contacted the Clerk, note the subject of the inquiry and keep any related correspondence together. These are ways to organize your own materials before discussing the broader injury or criminal matter with the firm.

Preparing for a discussion about your matter
For a personal injury or criminal defense matter, organize a brief timeline and gather documents you already have that relate to the events. Note which details are firsthand and which come from another person or a record.
If you are also looking for a city record, describe the record and its connection to city business. A city records request and a review of an individual legal matter are different inquiries; counsel can assess what information may be relevant to your situation.
