Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal injury and criminal defense representation statewide in Georgia. The firm’s office is in Valdosta. For Forsyth-specific police records, the Forsyth Police Department lists a contact on South Kimbell Street; the city’s physical and mailing addresses are different locations and contacts.
Before contacting the firm or a records office
- Identify whether your concern involves a personal injury matter or a criminal defense matter.
- Write down a brief timeline of relevant events and the locations involved.
- Gather records already in your possession and keep copies together.
- List the specific records or information you are trying to locate.
- For police records, use the Forsyth Police Department contact listed at 200 South Kimbell Street, not the city’s general address.
- Keep the Police Department’s contact separate from the city physical address at 23 East Main Street and mailing address at P.O. Box 1447.
- Contact the firm at 888-599-9052 to discuss your circumstances and available records with counsel.
Personal injury and criminal defense
The firm describes its personal-injury practice as representation for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. For an injury connected to Forsyth, organize the records already in your possession about the incident and its effects. Keep your own account separate from documents supplied by another person or office.
For criminal defense, the firm describes representation for clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. Retain papers identifying your matter and the exact court or agency name printed on each item. Make your own timeline separately, with questions prompted by particular notices, letters or communications alongside it.

Keep the record and inquiry connected
For an existing document, retain its title, date and issuing office where shown. Keep your own recollection on a separate page from the original record. Put related correspondence beside the particular event, paper or inquiry it concerns.
For an injury matter, group incident-related materials with records about its effects. For criminal defense, retain papers identifying the matter and related communications. Use a separate list for documents still being sought and the office contacted about each item. Your Forsyth Police and city contact notes can stay identifiable alongside the original papers and questions.

Prepare the first conversation
The firm describes the first conversation as a way to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps. Explain whether you are seeking injury representation or criminal defense. If a Police-record inquiry prompted a question, retain its South Kimbell department-contact and form-resource labels, alongside separately labelled general city street or mailing-box correspondence.
Bring together your timeline, existing-document list and questions. If a particular record or office exchange prompted a concern, retain its original source label and related correspondence with it. You can then identify that paper or inquiry while explaining the broader matter and the information already in your possession.
