Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense services statewide in Georgia. The firm’s only office is in Valdosta. Counsel can assess your actual matter and available records. This webpage provides general information, not advice about an individual case.
Start with the accusation and current notice
When contacting the firm, have the accusation and the latest court notice available. Check the notice for the court named and any case information it provides. These details help distinguish a county-court matter from a city matter; a general City Hall contact does not establish where a particular hearing will take place.
Turner County lists State Court separately from its Superior Court clerk. The county’s State Court contact is 229-567-0490. Do not infer a hearing location from a general city or county address; use the court named on the current notice and ask counsel to assess the matter and available records.

County court records and clerk contacts
Turner County’s Superior Court clerk is listed at 219 East College Avenue, Ashburn, GA 31714, phone 229-567-2011. The county clerk directory gives the same street address as 219 East College Avenue, Room 3, and lists a separate mailing address: PO Box 106, Ashburn, GA 31714. Keep the physical and mailing addresses distinct when checking which contact applies.
The county clerk’s page describes criminal and civil court-record and calendar roles. Juvenile, adoption and military-discharge records are identified as unavailable to the general public, so the clerk’s role does not mean every record can be obtained. Counsel can assess the records available for the actual matter.

City, county and incident contacts are different
Ashburn identifies a city-clerk role through its general City Hall contact. That is a municipal administration contact, not a confirmed hearing address or a statement about which records may be released. Bring the named court and current notice when discussing a city matter with counsel.
Turner County lists county administration at 208 East College Avenue, phone 229-567-4313. It separately lists the Sheriff’s Office at 1301 Industrial Drive, Ashburn, GA 31714, phone 229-567-2401. The Sheriff’s Office is an incident-agency contact only if that office handled the matter; it is not a verified Ashburn city-police contact or a general records-release route.
