Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal-defense representation for clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia, serving the state from its Valdosta office. Prepare a Grantville discussion with the complete papers identifying the matter. Retain the issuing institution on each document, with City Clerk and Municipal Court telephone entries separately labelled where those offices appear.
Identify the paper behind the defense concern
Put the document or communication that prompted you to seek representation at the front of your file. Keep every page and attachment with it, alongside later messages about the same item. Record the institution, title and any reference information shown so you can identify the paper during a discussion.
The firm describes its first conversation as a way to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps. Bring questions prompted by the papers you hold. Your own account can remain on a separate page, distinguishable from wording supplied by a court or agency.

Preserve instructions within each document group
Keep dates, instructions and the institution name with the original notice that contains them. Add related correspondence to that group. If another paper names a different court or agency, retain its own label rather than gathering every document under one general city-office heading.
A short index can connect each question to its paper and note whether another document is still being sought. Keep an outstanding records inquiry separately described, with the office contacted and any response. This preserves the distinction between a case-identifying document and a request for additional material.

Grantville Municipal Court contact
Municipal Court lists 123 Lagrange Street, Grantville, GA 30220, a separate P.O. Box 160 and telephone 770-583-2255. When a paper names that court, retain the Municipal Court label with its telephone and separately identified street and mailing entries in your contact notes.
Keep any exchange about that paper with the document and its printed instructions. Your index can identify which question concerns the court-labelled item. Papers from other institutions can retain their own court or agency names alongside the information you want to discuss with the firm.

Separate a City Clerk records inquiry
The City Clerk is Grantville's city official record keeper. Responsibilities include open-records requests and maintaining contracts, ordinances, resolutions, agreements and council minutes. The Clerk lists telephone 770-583-2289, distinct from Municipal Court's 770-583-2255, despite the shared street address and separately listed P.O. Box 160.
For a city document you are seeking, retain its known title or subject with the Clerk office label and any related correspondence. Keep that municipal inquiry beside the relevant concern without replacing the original court papers. This lets you identify both documents in hand and a separate city-record question.

Organize the paperwork you already have
- Gather the court or agency paperwork you already have, including every page and any attached notice.
- Note the exact office name printed on each document; do not assume the City Clerk and Municipal Court are the same office.
- Keep dates, names, reference numbers and contact details exactly as they appear on the paperwork.
- Separate court documents from records or correspondence issued by a city office or another agency.
- If you are unsure which office a document names, use the document’s own heading and contact details to identify it before making an inquiry.
- Prepare a concise account of the general nature of the matter and the questions you want to raise in a first conversation with the firm.
Questions about criminal defense
How should I save Grantville's Court and Clerk phone entries?
Label 770-583-2255 as Municipal Court and 770-583-2289 as City Clerk. Both listings give 123 LaGrange Street and separately identify P.O. Box 160. Preserve the office actually named on your paper when keeping those contact notes.
What municipal records role does the City Clerk publish?
Grantville identifies the Clerk as its official city record keeper, with open-records responsibilities and named records including contracts, ordinances, resolutions, agreements and council minutes. Keep a municipal document inquiry under that Clerk label, separately from court notices and their printed instructions.
