Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers two distinct forms of representation: personal injury for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence, and criminal defense for clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. The firm’s office is in Valdosta, and it lists statewide Georgia service.
Prepare for a first conversation
- Write down the event or charge and the date you want to discuss.
- For an injury matter, note how the injury relates to another party’s conduct and what documents you already have.
- For a criminal matter, record the charge wording and the names of any agencies or courts appearing in your papers.
- Keep copies of notices, correspondence, and records together, without assuming one office holds every record.
- If referring to a municipal record, distinguish the Town of Homer Open Records Request Form from the town’s listed contact information.
- Mark the specific office or agency named on each document so those names can be discussed accurately.
Personal injury: discuss the harm and its circumstances
The firm’s personal-injury practice is for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. When preparing to discuss a possible matter, organize a short account of what happened, the injury, and the documents you have that relate to the event.
Keep your account factual and identify what remains unclear.

Criminal defense: organize the charge information
Jody D. Peterman, LLC describes its criminal-defense practice as representing clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. If that is the kind of matter you need to discuss, bring together the charge wording and any notices or correspondence you have received.
Record the names of the agencies and courts as they appear on your documents rather than treating them as interchangeable.

Use the first conversation to frame next steps
The firm describes the initial conversation as a way to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps. A concise timeline and the papers you already have can help you explain what brings you to that conversation.
For an injury discussion, separate records about the event from notes about the resulting injury. For a criminal-defense discussion, keep charge-related papers together and note the office names printed on them.
