Organize information before an attorney discussion
- Write down the date and a short description of the event or concern.
- Keep documents together by the organization that created or provided them.
- For a city document, note whether your contact was the City Clerk, Deputy City Clerk, or Records Clerk.
- Record the contact number and address shown on the relevant city page or document.
- Keep copies of records and correspondence you already have.
- Separate materials related to an injury from documents concerning a criminal charge.
- Prepare the questions you want to discuss in an initial conversation with the firm.
Personal-injury representation
The firm describes its personal-injury practice as representing people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence.
For an initial conversation, gather the information and documents you already have about the injury and the events surrounding it. Keep materials grouped by their source, and note any questions you want to raise. The firm describes that first conversation as a way to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps.

Criminal-defense representation
Jody D. Peterman, LLC describes its criminal-defense practice as representing clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. That practice has a different purpose from personal-injury representation: it concerns defense for people facing those charges.
If your matter involves a charge, organize the documents and communications by the office or organization associated with each item. Keep their dates and names with your notes, together with the questions you want to raise about the criminal matter.

Finding the right Dunwoody city contact
Dunwoody’s official City Clerk page describes the Clerk as custodian of agendas, minutes, ordinances, resolutions, contracts, and other city documents, and says the office answers city open-records requests. Its staff directory lists (678) 382-6700 for both the City Clerk and Deputy City Clerk.
The same directory separately lists (678) 382-6716 for the Records Clerk. Preserve that distinction in your notes: identify which directory role is associated with a number or document rather than recording only “city records.” The City Clerk page publishes the city contact address as 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road, Dunwoody, GA 30338.
