Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense services across Georgia. If you are dealing with a criminal accusation in Ocilla, counsel can assess the actual matter and available records. Organizing your papers and confirming the contact shown on your documents can help you prepare questions about what comes next. This page provides general information, not advice about an individual matter.
Start with your accusation papers and latest notices
Keep the accusation papers together with the most recent notices, orders, and other documents you have received. Note the issuing court or office and copy any dates, case numbers, or instructions exactly as they appear. Do not rely on an older notice if you have received a newer one.
These papers can help counsel understand what proceeding or record may be relevant. They do not, by themselves, establish that a date or instruction remains current. Counsel can assess the actual matter and available records; confirm appearance instructions using the court or contact identified for your matter.

Identify the right court contact
Ocilla lists a Municipal Court Clerk at 111 North Irwin Avenue, Ocilla, Georgia 31774, telephone 229-468-3438. The city also lists its City Clerk at the same address, telephone 229-468-9835. These are distinct contacts; the City Clerk is not identified as the Municipal Court Clerk.
Irwin County lists its Superior and Juvenile court clerk at 301 South Irwin Avenue, Suite 103, Ocilla, Georgia 31774, telephone 229-468-5356. The county clerk handles Superior and Juvenile court records, including civil and criminal records. The county also has a separate administrative County Clerk at 225 East Fourth Street, telephone 229-468-9441. Use the court named on your papers to identify which clerk may be relevant. A clerk contact alone does not confirm your hearing venue or instructions.

Keep police and court questions separate
Ocilla lists its Police contact at 401 South Cherry Street, Ocilla, Georgia 31774, telephone 229-468-7494. That is separate from the municipal court clerk and the county court clerk. The police contact is not the court contact for confirming an appearance.
The listed contacts identify different municipal, county, and police roles. They do not establish that a particular office holds a specific record or that a record will be available. Counsel can assess the matter and available records and help identify questions relevant to your documents.
