The firm’s only listed office is in Valdosta. For an individual matter, counsel can assess the circumstances and available records; the contacts below are starting points for identifying the relevant office.
Personal injury: organize the scene and records
For an injury inquiry, note the specific location and circumstances of the event, the people involved, and which records or documents you already have. Keep the scene distinct from later places where you sought care or reported what happened. Organizing information by date and source can help counsel assess the matter and available evidence.
Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal injury services. You can call to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements.

Criminal defense: identify the agency and document
For a criminal defense inquiry, distinguish the agency involved and the document you are trying to identify. A Dodge County Sheriff contact and an Eastman Police Department contact are separate agency contacts. Record the agency name shown on any paperwork and the location associated with the matter; do not assume one office handles another agency’s records or court matters.
The firm offers criminal defense services and can assess an individual matter and available records. Call to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements. The county and city contacts on this page identify agencies; they do not establish a particular case’s venue, hearing schedule, record-access process, or next step.

Dodge County Superior Court clerk
