Criminal Defense in Tifton Get help assessing the accusation and court records
An accusation, notice, or court order can leave you unsure what to do next. Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense services across Georgia. Counsel can assess the actual matter and available records, including the court named on a notice. The firm’s listed office is in Valdosta; call to discuss the matter and confirm consultation arrangements.
Understand the accusation and current notice
Start with the paperwork you have: the accusation or charging document, any current notice or order, and information showing the next date. The document can identify the court and help counsel understand what proceeding is involved. Keep the original and gather related papers rather than relying on a summary or memory.
The court name matters in Tifton and Tift County because local court offices are distinct. Do not assume a municipal notice belongs with the county clerk, or that a county court record answers every question about a specific matter. Counsel can assess the actual documents and identify what records may be relevant.

Identify the court office on your paperwork
Tifton Municipal Court publishes its location as 130 E. 5th Street at the Criminal Justice Center and lists its clerk phone as 229-391-3967. If your notice names this court, use the court information on the notice to guide inquiries; the municipal court is not the county clerk’s office.
The Tift State Court Clerk lists an office at 237 E. 2nd Street and phone 229-386-7810. Its page describes filing civil and criminal State Court proceedings. The same address and phone are listed for the Tift County Superior and State court records clerk. These offices provide records and filing information for their respective courts, but their listings do not establish which court handles every matter.
