Personal injury and criminal defense for Bulloch County
A personal injury matter and a criminal defense matter call for different records and questions. For either, start by identifying the event or case the paperwork concerns, then gather the documents already in your possession. Counsel can assess the individual matter and available records without assuming that a particular document answers every question.

Tell court documents apart from Sheriff reports
The Bulloch County Clerk identifies its office as Clerk of Superior, State and Juvenile Courts. Its Records Request section asks document requesters to include identifying information such as a name, case number or book and page, along with contact information. Those identifiers relate to requests to the Clerk; they are not the labels shown on the Sheriff’s Office report form.
The Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office Report Request form has separate fields for “Name On Report Requested,” “Report Number” and “Address Of Report Requested.” If you have both court paperwork and a Sheriff report, keep them in separate groups and preserve the identifiers printed on each. A report number and a court case number or book-and-page reference serve as different record identifiers; do not substitute one for the other.
Organizing existing paperwork this way can help counsel assess which records you have and what they concern.

Use the right Bulloch County records contact
For a document request to the Clerk of Superior, State and Juvenile Courts, the Clerk’s Records Request section publishes clerkinfo@bullochcounty.net. The office is listed at 20 Siebald Street, Statesboro, Georgia 30458, telephone 912-764-9009. When preparing a request, use the identifying details the Clerk lists, such as the name, case number or book and page, and your contact information.
The Clerk’s Copy Requests page also provides an eCertified Documents resource through the Georgia Superior Court Clerks Cooperative Authority. This is a separate copy-resource option identified by the Clerk. Counsel can assess whether a document you have obtained is relevant to your matter.
The Clerk of the Board is a different office. It records official Board of Commissioners actions and maintains the Board’s minutes and proceedings. The page lists 912-764-0169 and clerk@bullochcounty.net. That contact concerns Board records, not the Clerk of Superior, State and Juvenile Courts document-request contact.

Prepare existing paperwork for counsel
Gather the records you already have and keep each document intact, including any case number, book-and-page reference or report number shown on it. Note which office or agency the document came from so court records, Sheriff reports and Board materials do not become mixed together.
A short, factual timeline and a list of questions can help you explain what the paperwork concerns. Counsel can assess the individual matter and available records.

- For a Sheriff report request, refer to the form’s report-specific fields, including report number and the name on the requested report.

- Write down a concise timeline and the questions you want counsel to assess.
Questions about Bulloch County
What identifiers should I use for a court document request?
The Bulloch County Clerk’s Records Request section asks for identifying information such as a name, case number or book and page, plus contact information. A Sheriff’s Office report number is a different identifier and should not be substituted for a court reference.
How do I distinguish a Sheriff report request from a court-record request?
The Sheriff’s Office form labels fields for the name on the requested report, report number and address of the report requested. The Clerk’s Records Request section instead identifies details such as a name, case number or book and page, and requester contact information.
Is the Clerk of the Board the same contact as the court-records Clerk?
No. The Clerk of Superior, State and Juvenile Courts publishes the court-document request contact. The separate Clerk of the Board maintains Board of Commissioners actions, minutes and proceedings, and lists its own contact information.
