A collision, injury, or criminal matter can involve several locations and different kinds of records. Start by identifying where the event happened, what agency or institution created the records, and what notice or paperwork you received. Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal injury and criminal defense services across Georgia. The firm’s only office is in Valdosta; call to discuss your matter and confirm consultation arrangements.
Start with the event and the service you need
For an injury matter, note the exact location of the incident and gather any records you already have, such as correspondence, photographs, or paperwork identifying an agency or business involved. The firm offers personal injury services and can assess the information available about your matter.
For a criminal matter, keep the charging or other paperwork together and identify the agency and court named on it. The firm offers criminal defense services and can assess the details of your matter. Do not assume that the event location alone identifies the court or determines where a matter will be handled.

Identify the court contact from your paperwork
Emanuel County identifies its Superior Court clerk at 125 South Main Street in Swainsboro, with mailing address PO Box 627 and telephone 478-237-8911. The county clerk page describes maintaining criminal and civil court filings and lists Superior, State, and Juvenile courts. These details can help you identify a county court-document contact; they do not establish that a particular matter belongs in a specific court or that every record is available to the public.
Keep the physical address and mailing address distinct when checking paperwork or contacting the clerk. The contact information identifies the clerk’s office; it does not establish a hearing location, calendar, filing procedure, or what action is appropriate in an individual case. Use the court and contact details stated on the notice or document you received rather than substituting a judge’s contact information.

Keep Main Street offices straight
The Superior Court clerk is listed at 125 South Main Street. Emanuel County administration uses 101 North Main Street, while Swainsboro City Hall lists 101 West Main Street. The street directions matter: these are separate contacts with different roles, not interchangeable destinations.
City Hall is a municipal administration contact, not the Emanuel court clerk or a police report office. If you need a particular report or record, first identify the agency named on the paperwork or the agency that handled the event, then confirm the appropriate contact. A city administration address alone does not identify where a court matter will be heard.
