Camilla Criminal Defense Start with the allegation and your current case papers.
An accusation does not by itself tell you which court is handling a matter or what steps may be required. Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense services and can assess the allegation and available records with you. The firm lists its office in Valdosta and describes service across Georgia.
Begin with the allegation and current papers
Keep the exact charge or allegation together with any citation, summons, notice, order or other case paper. Note the court named on each document and whether you have received anything newer. Those details can help counsel assess the matter and identify questions to clarify; they do not establish that every Camilla-area accusation belongs in the same court.
For questions about where or when to appear, rely on your current case papers and the named court. Do not assume a general local schedule or use another court’s contact information as confirmation of your own appearance arrangements. Counsel can assess the papers you have and the available records.

Camilla Municipal Court and county court records
Camilla’s Municipal Court is listed at the Public Safety Complex, 80 West Broad Street, Camilla, GA 31730, phone 229-336-2201; its mailing address is PO Box 328. This is the municipal-court contact, not the Mitchell County court-record clerk. Check your current notice for the court actually named in your matter.
The Mitchell County court clerk is listed at 11 West Broad Street, Room 108, Camilla, GA 31730, phone 229-336-2022; its mailing address is PO Box 427. This is a separate administrative contact for court records, not a statement that every hearing is held there or that restricted records are available. A clerk’s records role is also different from police records.

Police inquiries are separate from court records
Camilla Police lists its department at 80 West Broad Street, Camilla, GA 31730, phone 229-336-2201. A suspicious-activity tip is different from an inquiry about a copy of a police report. The tip form is not a report-copy process and should not be used to submit sensitive case records.
If you need to ask about a report, contact the agency that responded and ask about its process. The police department contact does not establish that a particular report is available or will be provided. Counsel can assess relevant records that are available for your matter.

City records have a different custodian
Camilla’s city clerk is identified as the custodian of city records. The office is listed at 30 East Broad Street, Camilla, GA 31730, phone 229-330-2325; its mailing address is PO Box 328. This is separate from the municipal court and police contact on West Broad Street, and from the Mitchell County court clerk.
For a city-record inquiry, use the city clerk contact rather than assuming the police department or county clerk handles it. The contact information identifies the office; it does not establish whether a particular record exists, is available, or will be provided.

Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense services and lists one office at 304 North Ashley Street, Valdosta, GA 31601, phone 888-599-9052. The firm describes service across Georgia; it does not list an office in Camilla or Mitchell County.

What to gather before discussing a charge
- Write down the exact allegation or charge as it appears on your paperwork.
- Gather citations, summonses, notices, orders and any newer case papers.
- Identify the court named on the current notice; do not assume the venue from the location of an accusation.
- Keep the date and contact details associated with each paper, if shown.
- Separate court papers from police-report questions and city-record inquiries.
- For a report-copy question, contact the agency that responded; do not use a suspicious-activity tip form for that purpose.
- Call the firm to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements.
Questions about criminal defense
Does every Camilla-area accusation go to Camilla Municipal Court?
Do not assume so. The municipal court is listed at the Public Safety Complex, but the court named on your current notice is the useful starting point for your matter. Counsel can assess your papers and available records.
Is the Mitchell County court clerk the same as the municipal court?
No. Camilla Municipal Court is listed at 80 West Broad Street. The Mitchell County court clerk is listed at 11 West Broad Street, Room 108, as a separate administrative court-record contact. Neither address alone identifies the venue for every case.
Can I use the suspicious-activity tip form to request a police report?
No. A suspicious-activity tip and a report-copy inquiry are different. For a report question, ask the agency that responded about its process; the tip form is not a report-copy process.
