Jody D. Peterman, LLC serves Georgia clients statewide from its Valdosta office, offering personal-injury representation and defense for serious felony charges. For Chamblee readers, a dated Council agenda identifies City Hall, while DeKalb County publishes separate Police Services and E-911 records contacts.
Preparing to discuss your matter or a records request
- Write down the general nature of the injury or criminal matter and the main questions you want to raise.
- For an injury matter, note how the injury occurred and why you believe another party’s negligence was involved.
- For a criminal matter, note the serious felony charge or charges you are facing.
- Keep relevant documents and correspondence together so you can refer to them when describing the matter.
- If seeking a police record, identify which department may maintain it before contacting a records unit.
- Distinguish a request to County Police Services from a request to E-911; the county lists them separately.
- Use the first conversation to understand the general nature of the matter and identify appropriate next steps.

Criminal defense: identify the serious felony charge
The firm describes its criminal-defense practice as representation for clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. That is a distinct service from injury representation, so make the charge or charges you face the starting point of the conversation.
Gather the charge-related documents and correspondence available to you, and note the questions you want to discuss. Keep the name of the issuing court or agency with each document so your summary identifies the materials you have.
