First, identify the kind of matter
If someone was injured, the matter may call for a personal injury discussion. Keep together records that relate to the event and injury, such as any notices or correspondence you have, and note where relevant records may be held. The firm can assess the information you provide; it cannot promise recovery or a specific result.
If you received papers about an accusation, treat them as a criminal defense matter rather than assuming they are part of an injury claim. Read the papers carefully and note the court or office named. The firm offers criminal defense services and can discuss the matter, but cannot promise that charges will be dismissed or predict a hearing, penalty, or release condition.

Hawkinsville Municipal Court and City Hall
Hawkinsville Municipal Court is listed at 56 Broad Street, Hawkinsville, GA 31036, with telephone 478-892-3240, extension 4. If your papers name this court, use the court’s full name when contacting the listed number and have the notice available to confirm what arrangements apply to your matter. The contact listing alone does not establish a hearing date or what will happen in an individual case.
City Hall is also listed at 56 Broad Street, Hawkinsville, GA 31036, but it is a different office. Its listed telephone is 478-892-3240, and its mailing address is P.O. Box 120, Hawkinsville, GA 31036. A shared street address and main telephone do not make City Hall and Municipal Court interchangeable; identify the office named on your document.

County clerk and county administration are separate
The Pulaski County court clerk is listed at 141 Commerce Street, Hawkinsville, GA 31036, telephone 478-783-1911; the clerk’s mailing address is P.O. Box 60, Hawkinsville, GA 31036. The directory and the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority identify this clerk contact. If a document names the county clerk, use that office’s listing rather than the Municipal Court contact. The listing does not establish which office handles a particular filing or what records may be accessed.
County administration is listed separately at 45 South Lumpkin Street, telephone 478-783-4154. That is an annex contact, not the county clerk’s address or the Municipal Court’s address. The directory also lists the Sheriff at 141 Commerce Street, telephone 478-783-1521; the shared street address does not establish that the Sheriff and clerk perform the same function.

Jody D. Peterman, LLC lists one office at 304 North Ashley Street, Valdosta, GA 31601, and telephone 888-599-9052. The firm describes its services as statewide in Georgia; it does not list a Hawkinsville office. Call to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements.
Before calling, note whether you are dealing with an injury or accusation, the names of any offices shown on your paperwork, and the contact information you have already confirmed. For an injury matter, organize relevant information about the event and injury. For a criminal defense matter, keep the accusation papers available and identify the court named on them. Counsel can assess an actual matter and available records; no particular representation or outcome is guaranteed.
