If you are dealing with an injury or a criminal matter in Colquitt County, organizing the paperwork can make an initial conversation more productive. Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal injury and criminal defense services and lists one office in Valdosta. The firm describes service throughout Georgia; it does not list a Colquitt County or Moultrie office. Call to discuss your matter and confirm consultation arrangements. A consultation can help identify questions and relevant records, but it is not a substitute for individualized legal advice.
Start with the document that brought you here
Keep the court notice, citation, claim correspondence, or other key document together with any attachments. Note the names of the people and organizations involved, the date on the document, and any stated place or contact instructions. If you are unsure what a notice refers to, preserve it as received rather than relying on a guess about which office or court handles the matter.
For an initial conversation about an injury, gather the records you already have, such as correspondence and documents relating to the incident. For a criminal matter, gather the citation or other paperwork and any communications you have received. The firm can discuss what information may be relevant and help organize questions; the available services do not establish what action is appropriate in an individual case.

Know which Colquitt County clerk information you need
The Colquitt County court clerk is listed at the Courthouse, 9 South Main Street, second floor, Room 214, Moultrie, GA 31768. The separate mailing address is PO Box 2827, Moultrie, GA 31776. The listed phone number is 229-616-7420. A street address and a postal address serve different purposes, so check the instructions on your document before deciding where to send or take something.
The clerk information identifies Superior, State, and Juvenile court records. That distinction can help you frame a records question, but it does not establish where a particular hearing will take place or which court applies to your matter. Use the case paperwork and confirm uncertain details with the relevant office.

Confirm the courthouse named for your matter
The Southern Judicial Circuit lists two Colquitt County courthouse locations in Moultrie: the Colquitt County Courthouse Annex at 101 East Central Avenue and the Historic Courthouse at 9 South Main Street. The county clerk’s listed address is 9 South Main Street, but that does not mean every hearing is held there or that the clerk’s office is the venue for every court matter.
Do not choose a building based only on the county name or the fact that an address appears on a clerk listing. Check the actual court notice for the location associated with your matter and confirm it if the notice is unclear. These listings identify locations, not an assignment of an individual case to a courthouse.

Keep Moultrie Municipal Court separate from county clerk records
Moultrie Municipal Court lists its address as 21 First Avenue NE, Moultrie, GA 31768, and its phone number as 229-873-3127. This is a separate contact from the Colquitt County court clerk, whose listed phone is 229-616-7420. Do not treat the municipal court address as the county clerk’s location or assume a county clerk contact applies to a municipal court notice.
Use the court identified on the document you received and follow its current instructions. If the paperwork names a municipal court, the municipal court listing may help you identify its contact; it does not by itself establish what your case concerns or what you should do. A lawyer conversation can help you sort the documents and prepare questions without guaranteeing acceptance of the matter or a particular result.

Discuss the matter with the firm
Jody D. Peterman, LLC lists one office at 304 North Ashley Street, Valdosta, GA 31601, and phone 888-599-9052. The firm describes statewide Georgia service, but does not list an office in Colquitt County or Moultrie. Call to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements rather than assuming an in-person location or a particular consultation format.
For an initial discussion, be ready to explain what happened or what paperwork you received, what records you have, and what you need clarified. The firm offers personal injury and criminal defense services. Whether it can assist with a specific matter must be discussed with the firm; no outcome, acceptance, or fee terms are promised here.
