Criminal defense for a Moultrie charge or court notice Review the actual papers and confirm which court is named.
Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense services across Georgia from its Valdosta office. If you have a charge, notice, or order connected to Moultrie or Colquitt County, call to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements. Counsel can discuss and assess the actual charge, documents, and questions with you; have the papers available if possible.
Start with the court named on your papers
A Moultrie-related matter may involve a municipal court or a county court record. The names and locations of local courts and clerk offices are not interchangeable. Read the current charge, notice, or order for the court named, the address, any stated date, and any instructions.
Moultrie Municipal Court lists its address as 21 First Avenue NE, Moultrie, GA 31768, and its phone number as 229-873-3127. That is distinct from the Colquitt County clerk. Do not rely on the address of one office to determine where a particular matter is set; use the actual notice and confirm the location if unclear.

Colquitt County clerk and courthouse locations
The Colquitt County clerk is listed at the Courthouse, 9 South Main Street, second floor, Room 214, Moultrie, GA 31768. The clerk’s phone is 229-616-7420. The county lists a separate mailing address: PO Box 2827, Moultrie, GA 31776. Its records include Superior, State, and Juvenile court records.
The Southern Judicial Circuit also lists the Colquitt County Courthouse Annex at 101 East Central Avenue and the Historic Courthouse at 9 South Main Street. These listings do not identify which building is the venue for your matter. Check the court and location on your own current notice rather than assuming the clerk’s office or either courthouse is where a hearing will occur.

Use the documents to frame a conversation
The charge, notice, and any order are the starting point for understanding what is being addressed and which court is involved. Bring or keep together the complete documents, including pages that show the court name, case or reference information, address, and any upcoming date. If you received more than one notice, keep them in date order.
Counsel can discuss and assess the actual charge and documents, as well as the questions you want to raise. A conversation grounded in the papers can help identify what information is available and what needs clarification. Do not treat general court or clerk listings as a substitute for the instructions on your own notice.

Before relying on a date or address, compare the current notice with any related order and identify the court it names. If the court or building is unclear, use the contact details for the named court or clerk to confirm where the notice directs you.
