Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal injury and criminal defense services across Georgia. The firm’s only listed office is in Valdosta. If you are deciding which type of help may fit, start with the kind of event and the papers you have: an injury-related matter calls for a different review than a criminal charge or citation. For an individual matter, counsel can assess the circumstances and available records; general information here is not a determination about your case.

Before contacting an office or the firm
- Identify whether your concern is an injury matter, a criminal matter, or both.
- Keep citations, summonses, reports, photographs, and other relevant papers in separate, labeled groups.
- Note the issuing agency or court shown on each document; do not use the shared Johnson Street address as the sole identifier.
- For a city-record inquiry, contact the city clerk at 912-375-6680 or city.clerk@hazlehurstga.gov.
- For a police-record inquiry, identify the requested record clearly and use 912-375-6688 or openrecords@police.hazlehurstga.gov.
- For municipal court administrative details, use the court contact—912-375-6614 or court@hazlehurstga.gov—and the actual citation or summons.
- For county court clerk contact, use the directory listing at 912-375-6615; contact the firm at 888-599-9052 to discuss your matter and confirm consultation arrangements.
Start with the kind of matter
For an injury matter, gather records that help describe what happened and the injury: relevant reports, photographs, correspondence, and medical or other documents you already have. A personal injury consultation can help organize information for review; it does not establish that a claim will be accepted or that compensation will be available.
For a criminal defense matter, keep the citation, summons, or other paperwork together and note which agency or court is named. The firm offers criminal defense services, but no particular hearing, result, or release condition can be assumed from a general description of those services.
If a matter involves both an injury and police or court paperwork, keep separate copies and identify each document by its issuing agency. Counsel can assess the actual matter and records to help you decide what kind of legal assistance to discuss.

Keep Hazlehurst contacts distinct
The City of Hazlehurst lists its municipal administration at 86 South Cromartie Street, Hazlehurst, GA 31539, with mailing address PO Box 519 and general telephone 912-375-6680. The city identifies the city clerk as the custodian of city records and provides city.clerk@hazlehurstga.gov and the same telephone number for city-records inquiries. These are city contacts, not law-firm offices.
Hazlehurst Police lists 17 Johnson Street and telephone 912-375-6688. Its public-record inquiry email is openrecords@police.hazlehurstga.gov; the department asks requesters to identify requested records clearly, for example by report number, date, or location.
Hazlehurst Municipal Court also lists 17 Johnson Street, but its telephone is 912-375-6614 and its email is court@hazlehurstga.gov. The shared street address does not make the court and police the same contact. For county court clerk records, the Jeff Davis County directory lists 14 Jeff Davis Street, mailing address PO Box 429, Hazlehurst, GA 31539, and telephone 912-375-6615. Use the contact matching the issuing office rather than relying on a street address alone.

Match documents to the issuing office
For a city administrative record, direct the inquiry to the city clerk. For a police record, use the police public-record contact and identify the record as clearly as possible. For a municipal court matter, use the court contact shown on the citation or summons and verify administrative details with that court. A request or inquiry does not itself establish that a record will be located or provided.
The police department’s official page links to BuyCrash for accident reports. That link is a starting point for identifying the referenced service, not confirmation that a particular report is available or that a search, purchase, fee, or release will succeed. Keep the report number and incident details with your other records if you have them.
County court-clerk contact information is separate from the city clerk, police, and municipal court contacts. Check the office named on the document before sending a question or record request. Do not assume that a city or police contact handles county court paperwork, or that the county clerk contact identifies the right court for an individual matter.

Discuss the matter with the firm
Jody D. Peterman, LLC lists one office at 304 North Ashley Street, Valdosta, GA 31601, and telephone 888-599-9052. The firm describes statewide service in Georgia; it does not list a Hazlehurst office.
Call to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements. Have the relevant papers and a brief chronology available if useful, and distinguish which documents came from the city, police, municipal court, or county court clerk. For an individual matter, counsel can assess the circumstances and available records without a general webpage determining the outcome.
