A criminal charge or notice can raise urgent questions about what happens next. Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense services in Georgia. The firm lists its office in Valdosta and describes serving clients statewide. Call to discuss your matter and confirm consultation arrangements. The firm can assess the paperwork and circumstances you share; this general webpage is not advice about an individual case.
Start with the paperwork
Read the notice, citation, or charging paperwork carefully. Preserve the complete document, including any pages that name a court, agency, case number, or date. Those details can help counsel assess what the matter concerns and identify useful questions to ask.
Do not assume that a Homerville address or a local agency name establishes where a particular case is pending. The listed municipal court-clerk contact, county court clerk, and sheriff are distinct contacts. Counsel can review the actual paperwork and assess which information is relevant to your situation.

Keep records organized
Keep the original paperwork and make a clear copy for your records. Write down the date and manner in which you received it, and preserve related messages or documents. These are practical preparation steps, not a statement of any agency's filing requirements.
If you contact an office, note which office you reached and what you asked. A contact listing can help identify a starting point, but it does not establish that the office has a particular record or that it handles a particular person's case.

Homerville municipal contacts
The Homerville Police Department lists its office at 20 South College Street. Its page lists a municipal court-clerk contact at 912-487-5306, extension 1301, and an evidence-technician contact at the same number, extension 1304.
These contacts may help you identify whom to ask about a question involving the municipal court clerk or evidence. The listing alone does not confirm that a record exists, that it is available, or that a particular case belongs in municipal court. Check the paperwork and discuss its significance with counsel.

County contacts are separate
The Clinch County Clerk of Superior Court is listed at 25 Court Square, Suite C, Homerville, Georgia 31634, telephone 912-487-5854. The county clerk describes maintaining court records. The GSCCCA directory lists the same clerk contact and separately gives PO Box 433 as a mailing address; the street address and mailing address are not interchangeable.
The Clinch County Sheriff's contact is listed separately at 115 Court Square, Homerville, Georgia 31634, telephone 912-487-5316. These county listings can help you distinguish the clerk from the sheriff, but neither listing establishes case venue or access to a particular record. Counsel can assess the actual paperwork and the appropriate questions for your matter.

Questions about criminal defense
Does the Homerville police contact establish where my case is pending?
No. A listed police or municipal court-clerk contact does not establish the venue of an individual case. Review the court and agency named on your paperwork, and ask counsel to assess what those details mean for your matter.
Which local contacts are listed for Homerville and Clinch County?
The Homerville Police Department lists a municipal court-clerk contact and an evidence-technician contact at 912-487-5306, with extensions 1301 and 1304 respectively. The Clinch County Clerk of Superior Court is listed at 912-487-5854, and the sheriff's contact is listed at 912-487-5316. These are separate offices; a listing does not establish that an office has a particular record.
