Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal-injury representation and defense for clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. The firm serves clients statewide from its Valdosta office. Douglasville’s City Clerk publishes municipal-records responsibilities, an office contact and separate City Hall and mailing addresses.
Prepare for a first conversation
- Write down the date and a brief sequence of events relevant to your injury or criminal matter.
- Note the names of agencies or offices involved and distinguish them from courts.
- Gather documents you already have, such as notices, correspondence, or records related to the matter.
- For a city-records question, identify the kind of city record you are seeking and note whether it may relate to agreements, contracts, minutes, ordinances, resolutions, the City Charter, or the Code of Ordinances.
- Keep City Hall’s physical address separate from the City Clerk’s listed mailing address.
- Use the city’s Open Records Request resource for a request concerning city records.
- Bring your organized notes and documents to the firm’s first conversation so the general nature of the matter and appropriate next steps can be discussed.
Two distinct practices, one organized first conversation
The firm’s personal-injury practice represents people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. If an injury is involved, make a brief timeline and gather relevant documents you have so the circumstances can be discussed.
The criminal-defense practice represents clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. Keep any matter-related notices and correspondence together, and note the agency names and dates shown in them. The firm describes the first conversation as a way to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps.

Douglasville City Clerk and municipal records
Douglasville’s official City Clerk page says the office keeps agreements, contracts, minutes, ordinances, and resolutions, and maintains the City Charter and Code of Ordinances. For a question about those city materials, the City Clerk is a specifically identified municipal resource.
The page provides an Open Records Request resource under Public Records Center. Its Contact Us section lists 678-449-3018 and City-Clerks-Office@douglasvillega.gov. These are City Clerk contacts for municipal-records inquiries, distinct from the firm’s legal-services conversation.

City Hall location and mailing address
The City Clerk contact section identifies Douglasville City Hall at 6758 Spring Street, Douglasville, GA 30134. It separately lists the mailing address as P.O. Box 219, Douglasville, GA 30134.
When organizing a city-records inquiry, preserve that physical-versus-mailing distinction in your notes. Identify the record type you are looking for and use the city’s Open Records Request resource when your inquiry concerns city records.

Bring a clear, concise matter summary
For either practice, a short chronology can help you explain what happened and when. Note the names of agencies or offices that appear in your documents, and keep those names separate from any court named in the matter.
Gather the documents you already have and sort them by date or topic. For a municipal-records question, note the specific category that appears relevant: agreements, contracts, minutes, ordinances, resolutions, the City Charter, or the Code of Ordinances. Keep that city-records description with the related office correspondence.
