For a serious felony matter, distinguish the papers identifying the criminal concern from background municipal correspondence. Jody D. Peterman, LLC provides criminal-defense representation across Georgia from its Valdosta office. Bloomingdale’s Court and Police entries can help label particular contacts already in your file while the discussion remains about the matter for which you are seeking representation.
Keep the criminal concern and its papers together
The firm represents clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. Identify the concern that led you to seek help and retain the original documents describing it. Keep the court or agency heading and any attached pages with each paper, even when other material in your file concerns the same events.
The firm describes its first conversation as a way to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps. Your own note can identify the question prompted by a document. Preserve the original wording and every printed date or instruction while keeping that note separate.

Distinguish the Court street and mailing entries
Bloomingdale Municipal Court’s contact block gives 8 West Highway 80, Bloomingdale, GA 31302, and separately lists P.O. Box 216 for mailing. The published telephone number is 912-748-8302, with adminoffice@bloomingdale-ga.gov. Retain those details under the Municipal Court title rather than combining the box and street into one address.
If your file already contains a court-related inquiry, identify the paper it concerns and keep any actual response with it. Preserve the office named in the exchange. Use the contact block to label that resource, keeping the full court name on the papers describing your individual criminal matter.

Keep Police material under its own agency label
The Police Department lists 6 Adams Road, Bloomingdale, GA 31302, and non-emergency telephone 912-748-8302. Although that number also appears in the Court contact block, preserve the Police Department and non-emergency labels beside the Adams Road entry when identifying a police contact.
Keep any police record or correspondence separately identifiable from a court notice. A document title, date, and issuing-office field can distinguish the items in your working list. If one refers to another document, note the reference and whether you have the item rather than treating the shared telephone number as its source.

Bring the original sources and your questions to counsel
Arrange the available papers so that you can identify the item behind a question. Keep your recollection separate from statements supplied by another person or office. Where an exchange is incomplete, retain the messages you do have and note the particular attachment, response, or record mentioned in them.
Begin the discussion with the serious felony concern, then identify the supporting material that raises each question. A Court contact note, Police correspondence, and a paper identifying the matter can remain distinct parts of the file. The firm’s Valdosta office is separate from both published Bloomingdale municipal locations.

Questions about criminal defense
How should the two published Municipal Court address entries be recorded?
Keep 8 West Highway 80, Bloomingdale, GA 31302, as the Court’s street entry and P.O. Box 216 as its separate mailing entry. Preserve the Municipal Court label with both instead of merging the box and street into one address.
How can I distinguish contacts when the Court and Police list the same number?
Keep the agency name and related document beside 912-748-8302. The Police listing names 6 Adams Road and labels the number non-emergency; the Court contact block names 8 West Highway 80 and separately lists P.O. Box 216 and adminoffice@bloomingdale-ga.gov.
