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. The firm lists its Valdosta office and statewide Georgia service. The first conversation is intended to help the firm understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps.
Prepare for a first conversation
- Write down whether your concern involves an injury, a criminal charge, or both, and summarize what happened in date order.
- For an injury matter, gather documents that describe the incident and injury, such as correspondence or records you already have.
- For a criminal matter, gather the charge-related papers and note the agency or office named on them.
- Keep original documents together and make a separate list of questions and important dates shown in your papers.
- Record the name of the office you contacted and any reference information it provided; distinguish police administrative contact details from Municipal Court contact details.
- Before contacting a local office, check the name and address on your document against the office details below.
Two distinct practices
The firm’s personal-injury practice is for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. If you are considering a conversation about an injury, organize the material you have about what happened and the injury, and note questions you want to raise.
Criminal defense serves a different need: the firm describes its practice as representing clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. Keep charge-related papers together and identify the agency or office named on them.

Getting ready to speak with the firm
A concise timeline can help you explain the matter: note the events in sequence and separate what you know from questions you still have. Bring together relevant papers already in your possession, rather than relying on memory alone.
For a criminal matter, record the exact office or agency name appearing on paperwork. For an injury matter, group incident-related and injury-related documents separately. The firm identifies its office in Valdosta and statewide Georgia service.

Montezuma Police Department administrative contact
