Before contacting a court or agency
- Read the current notice and note the named court, agency, date, and location.
- For a court-record inquiry, distinguish the Dougherty County Clerk contact from Albany Municipal Court and county administration.
- Use the clerk’s listed phone, 229-431-2198, for questions directed to that office.
- For a municipal-court matter, verify the actual hearing location from the current notice; do not rely on the administrative address alone.
- For a police-record request, identify the responding city, county, or state agency on your paperwork and ask that agency about the specific record.
- Keep relevant notices and records together so you can describe the matter when discussing it with counsel.
- Call the firm at 888-599-9052 to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements.
Personal injury and criminal defense
After an injury, organizing available records can help you explain what happened and identify questions to discuss with counsel. The firm offers personal injury services and can assess the circumstances and available information with you. This general webpage is not advice about an individual injury.
If you are dealing with a criminal matter, check the court and agency named on your paperwork rather than assuming that an Albany administrative address identifies the hearing location. The firm offers criminal defense services and can assess an individual matter; no particular hearing, result, or representation is promised.
The firm lists its office at 304 North Ashley Street, Valdosta, GA 31601, and phone 888-599-9052. Call to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements.

The county clerk page links separate civil/criminal case and real-estate record systems.

Albany Municipal Court: confirm the notice
Albany Municipal Court lists an administrative contact at 240 Pine Avenue, Room 150, Albany, phone 229-431-2865. The administrative contact address is not necessarily the location for a hearing.
The court identifies some hearings at the Albany Law Enforcement Center, 201 West Oglethorpe Boulevard, and custody-related proceedings elsewhere. These are not instructions for every matter. Check the current notice for the named court and location, and contact that court if the notice is unclear. The city open-records page is an identified resource, not confirmation that a particular request will produce a record.
Official resources: Albany Municipal Court
Police records: identify the responding agency
Albany Police provides a general assistance number, 229-431-2100. City police, county law enforcement or the Sheriff, and state agencies are distinct; use the agency identified on the paperwork rather than assuming that a city contact handles a county or state matter.
Ask the responding agency about the specific record you need. The general assistance number does not confirm a report-copy process, fee, availability, or delivery of sensitive records. Older FAQ material should not be treated as current, case-specific instructions about payment, eligibility, or timing.
