Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal-injury representation for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence and criminal-defense representation for clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. For Perry readers seeking a crash report, the relevant record path depends on whether the Georgia State Patrol investigated the incident and whether the record was prepared by DPS. The firm’s office is in Valdosta, and it serves clients statewide in Georgia.
Details to gather before making contact
- For an injury matter, note what happened, when and where it occurred, and the nature of the injury.
- For a criminal-defense conversation, be ready to describe the general nature of the serious felony matter and the next step you need to understand.
- For a possible Georgia State Patrol crash report, first determine whether the Georgia State Patrol investigated the crash.
- If the State Patrol investigated, identify the incident city or county, date, report number if known, and the records requested.
- For DPS photographs or other related records, direct the request to the DPS Open Records Unit.
- Check whether the report is a DPS-prepared record before looking to EPORTS; other agencies’ similar reports are outside the categories identified in its FAQ.
