Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal-injury representation for serious injuries caused by another party’s negligence and criminal defense for serious felony charges in Georgia. The firm serves clients statewide from its Valdosta office. Conyers’s Police records page separately identifies its Records Unit and a JustFOIA link for department-held records.
Prepare for a first conversation or records inquiry
- For an injury matter, note what happened, when it occurred, the injuries involved, and why you believe another party’s negligence caused them.
- For a criminal-defense matter, organize the charge information and retain the agency or court name printed on each document.
- Separate records requests about department-held materials from questions directed to city or county offices.
- The Conyers Police records page identifies a JustFOIA request link for department-held records and lists the Records Unit contact number, 770-929-4207.
- When contacting a records office, identify the department or office connected to the record you are seeking.
- For the first conversation with the firm, be ready to describe the general nature of the matter so appropriate next steps can be identified.
Two distinct practices for serious matters
The firm’s personal-injury practice is for people seriously injured because of another party’s negligence. When preparing to discuss an injury, organize a concise account of what happened, the injury, and the reason you believe another party was responsible.
Criminal defense serves a different need: the firm describes its work as representing clients facing serious felony charges in Georgia. Keep charge-related information distinct from injury materials so the first discussion can focus on the matter at hand.

A focused first conversation
The firm says the first conversation is intended to understand the general nature of a matter and identify appropriate next steps. Have a short timeline and the documents you already have available so you can explain your question.
The firm lists its office at 304 North Ashley Street, Valdosta, GA 31601, telephone 888-599-9052, and statewide Georgia service. Keep the firm contact separate from the Conyers Police Records Unit number when organizing your inquiry.

Police records: use the department-specific resource
The official Conyers Police records page publishes a JustFOIA request link for department-held records and identifies the Records Unit contact as 770-929-4207. Keep Police Department and Records Unit with those details.
When making a note from that page, retain the department-held records description alongside the request link. Keep the office name printed on your own document with the date and any reference number so your records question identifies the material you mean.

Keep legal and records questions separate
A request for Police Department records and a question about personal-injury or criminal-defense representation are different tasks. For a records inquiry, identify the Police Department material you are seeking; for a legal conversation, describe the injury or serious felony matter and the general next-step question.
Sort the material you already have by issuing office and date. Keep your question about a Police Department record with that document’s identifying information, and keep the questions about an injury or charge with the papers you want to discuss with the firm.
