Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal-injury representation for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence, and criminal-defense representation for clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. If local records may help you organize a matter, first distinguish the Newnan Police and Municipal Court requests from requests to the City Clerk. The firm’s office is in Valdosta, and it serves clients statewide in Georgia.
Organize your matter and any records
- For an injury matter, note what happened, how another party’s alleged negligence caused serious injury, and the effects you are experiencing.
- For a criminal-defense conversation, identify the serious felony charge or charges you are facing and gather related documents you already have.
- Write down the main questions you want to discuss and what you hope to clarify in the first conversation.
- For a Police or Municipal Court records request, distinguish that request from one intended for the City Clerk.
- Use the NextRequest portal for Police and Court records, or contact the listed Police and Court records number if you need to direct a question.
- For a City Clerk request, use the Clerk’s listed email or telephone contact rather than treating it as the Police and Court records contact.
- Keep any records you obtain organized by the office that supplied them, and bring relevant materials to your conversation with the firm.
Two distinct legal needs
The firm’s personal-injury practice is for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. If that describes your concern, organize a concise account of what happened, the injury, and the ways it has affected you.
Criminal defense serves a different purpose: the firm represents clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. For that conversation, identify the charge or charges and gather relevant documents already in your possession. The two practices address different kinds of matters; clarify which one fits your situation.

What to expect from a first conversation
The firm describes the first conversation as an opportunity to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps. You can prepare by writing down the central facts and the questions you want to ask.
Keep your account focused on the issue you are bringing forward. For an injury matter, organize information about the injury and its connection to another party’s negligence; for a felony-defense matter, identify the serious charge and the materials you have.

Choose the Newnan records office by request type
Newnan’s official records page separates Police and Municipal Court requests from City Clerk requests. It lists Police and Municipal Court requests at 1 Joseph Hannah Boulevard, Newnan, GA 30263, and City Clerk requests at City Hall, 25 LaGrange Street, Newnan, GA 30263.
For Police and Court records, the page links the NextRequest portal and lists 770-254-2355. For City Clerk requests, it lists openrecords@newnanga.gov and 678-673-5540. The shared records page does not make those contacts interchangeable: match the office to the kind of request you intend to make.

Keep records and legal questions organized
If local records are relevant to your matter, note which office supplied each item and keep the documents together with your own timeline and questions. A Police or Municipal Court records request and a City Clerk request are distinct routes in the city’s directory.
Bring the information you have organized to the firm’s first conversation, including the particular record or contact question you want to discuss. Keeping each item with its supplying office makes the document list easier to follow.
