Jody D. Peterman, LLC serves Georgia clients statewide from its Valdosta office, offering personal-injury representation and defense for serious felony charges. Fulton County’s guide supplies a general Alpharetta telephone listing, while its records page separately identifies county-agency resources and a State Court Civil Division contact.
Organize your first steps
- Identify whether your concern involves a serious injury you believe resulted from another party’s negligence or a serious felony charge in Georgia.
- Gather the documents you already have and note which agency or office is named on each one.
- Keep city-contact information distinct from county-agency and State Court Civil Division contacts.
- For a question about county records, note the county department involved; Fulton County says some departments have separately designated records custodians.
- For a State Court Civil Division open-records question, contact that division directly using its listed contact information.
- Use the first conversation to describe the general nature of the matter and identify appropriate next steps.
Two distinct kinds of legal representation
The firm’s personal-injury practice represents people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. If that describes your concern, organize the information you have about the injury and the other party before a first conversation.
The firm’s criminal-defense practice represents clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. Keep the charge-related paperwork together and note the issuing agency or court on each item before discussing your questions with the firm.
If you are contacting the firm about an Alpharetta matter, explain whether it concerns a serious injury or a serious felony charge and identify the location and agency named in your existing paperwork. The firm describes the first conversation as focused on understanding the general nature of the matter and identifying appropriate next steps.

County records portal and County Attorney custodian
Fulton County publishes an online Open Records Portal for county records and explains that some county departments have separately designated custodians.
Its records page lists Shalanda M.J. Miller as Official Custodian of Records in the Office of the County Attorney: 404-612-0281, orr@fultoncountyga.gov. The physical address listed is 141 Pryor Street, S.W., Suite 4038, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.

State Court Civil Division’s direct records contact
For State Court Civil Division open-records requests, Fulton County’s records page says to contact that division directly. It lists 404-613-5085 and statecourt.customerservice@fultoncountyga.gov. Keep this court-division contact distinct from the county portal and County Attorney custodian listing.
When organizing an inquiry concerning that division’s records, preserve State Court Civil Division as the office label with the document description and date. Its published direct-contact route is separate from the general Alpharetta service-guide entry and the county records portal.

General information about legal services and local resources. A lawyer must review the facts and applicable law for your matter. Contacting the firm does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.
