Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal injury and criminal defense services and serves clients statewide in Georgia from its Valdosta office. For a Turner County matter, organize the papers and records you have; counsel can assess the actual matter and available records. This page provides general information, not advice for an individual case.
Prepare the papers and records you have
For a personal injury matter, gather documents connected to the incident, such as reports, photographs, correspondence, and medical or insurance paperwork already in your possession. For a criminal defense matter, bring the papers you received and note the agencies or offices you have contacted. Keep originals safe and organize copies by date.
Write down the main events and questions you want to address. A clear timeline and organized records can help counsel assess the actual matter and available records; they do not, by themselves, establish what happened or determine an outcome. Do not assume that every record is public or that a county contact can provide every document.

County administration and court records are separate
Turner County identifies Ashburn as the county seat. County administration is listed at 208 East College Avenue, Ashburn, GA 31714, phone 229-567-4313. That is an administration contact, not the listed Superior Court clerk contact.
The county lists its Superior Court clerk at 219 East College Avenue, Ashburn, GA 31714, phone 229-567-2011. The clerk page describes criminal and civil court-record and calendar roles. The GSCCCA directory gives the clerk’s address as 219 East College Avenue, Room 3, and lists a separate mailing address, P.O. Box 106, Ashburn, GA 31714. These are contact details, not a determination of where a particular matter will be heard.
The county contact table lists State Court separately at 229-567-0490.

Check record access and the right agency
The county clerk identifies juvenile, adoption, and military-discharge records as unavailable to the general public. A published clerk contact or office link does not guarantee access to restricted records. If your matter involves those records, counsel can assess the matter and available records; do not treat a general court-record listing as confirmation that a particular document can be obtained.
For an incident in Ashburn or elsewhere in Turner County, identify the agency that handled it before seeking a report. The county lists the Turner County Sheriff’s Office at 1301 Industrial Drive, Ashburn, GA 31714, phone 229-567-2401. This is an agency contact, not a verified Ashburn city-police contact or a report-release procedure. It should not be assumed to be the right contact for every collision or incident.
