Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal-injury representation and defense for serious felony charges in Georgia. The firm serves clients statewide from its Valdosta office. Franklin County names Royston in its 911 call-service coverage and publishes separate city, communications and county-department records contacts.
A focused starting point
- Note the general nature of the injury or serious felony matter and the next step you are trying to identify.
- For a personal-injury matter, be ready to describe how another party’s negligence caused a serious injury.
- For a criminal-defense matter, identify that you are facing a serious felony charge in Georgia.
- If seeking call-for-service information, distinguish the call itself from a request for a department’s records.
- Use Franklin County 911 for questions about its call-for-service role; use the relevant department’s direct records contact for the listed requests.
- Keep the city contact separate from Franklin County 911 and the county’s direct records contacts.
