A criminal allegation can involve a citation, a court notice, or records from more than one local office. Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense services and serves clients statewide in Georgia. The firm’s only listed office is in Valdosta. Counsel can assess the allegation, current notice, any orders, and the available records for your matter.
Start with the allegation and current notice
Keep the citation, summons, or other current notice together with any orders or related paperwork. Note the court named on the document and the date and time shown there. Leesburg Municipal Court says court dates and times appear on the citation; that information should be checked against the notice you actually received.
The named court and the type of notice matter when identifying the right local contact. Counsel can review those details and assess the matter; a general city contact should not be treated as an assigned hearing instruction. School-zone camera notices are distinct from ordinary officer-issued citations, so do not assume they follow the same route.

Distinguish the municipal and county court contacts
Leesburg Municipal Court lists its physical contact at 107 Walnut Avenue North, Leesburg, GA 31763, with a clerk phone of 229-759-6465. This municipal contact is separate from Lee County Superior Court. Use the court named on the current notice rather than assuming that either office is the venue for an individual matter.
Lee County’s official Superior Court page identifies the County Courthouse at 100 Leslie Highway, Leesburg, GA 31763, as a court-record contact, with a separate mailing address of PO Box 49, Leesburg. The state court-clerk directory corroborates that contact. A court-record office address does not establish where a particular hearing will take place.

Identify the right records office
Lee County separates administrative records at 102 Starksville Avenue North from criminal and civil court records handled through Superior Court at 100 Leslie Highway. The county also directs Sheriff’s Office records to a separate records resource. These distinctions matter: a county administrative contact is not automatically the custodian for court or law-enforcement records.
For a police report, first identify which agency handled the incident. Leesburg Police is based at 107 Walnut Avenue North, but a Sheriff’s Office records resource is not a Leesburg city police records office. The city’s Police page identifies separate report-resource information; the department’s general contact details should not be treated as report instructions or as a hearing assignment.

Questions about criminal defense
Which court should I contact about a Leesburg criminal matter?
Check the court named on your current notice. Leesburg Municipal Court is at 107 Walnut Avenue North; Lee County Superior Court’s court-record contact is at 100 Leslie Highway. These are separate offices, and their addresses alone do not establish an individual hearing venue.
Where should I ask about a police report?
First identify the agency that handled the incident. Lee County lists Sheriff’s Office records separately, while Leesburg Police is based at 107 Walnut Avenue North. The appropriate records resource depends on the agency involved.
Does the general Leesburg Police contact tell me what to do about a notice?
No. The city distinguishes school-zone camera notices from ordinary officer-issued citations. Use the current notice and counsel’s review to assess the matter; this page does not provide payment, contest, deadline, or hearing instructions.
