Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense representation and describes statewide service in Georgia. If you are dealing with an accusation connected to Jesup, start by identifying the exact accusation and the court named on any notice. The court location and local records contacts below serve different purposes; neither, by itself, determines where a particular matter belongs.
Start with the accusation and named court
Gather the paperwork you have and note the exact accusation, any case or reference number shown, and the court named on the document. Keep the original notice and related records together. If the paperwork identifies a court, do not substitute another office merely because it is nearby or handles other court records.
Peterman can assess the criminal defense matter based on the information and records available. The firm’s listed office is in Valdosta, and it describes service statewide in Georgia.

Jesup Police and Municipal Court are distinct contacts
The Jesup Police Department is listed at 642 E. Plum Street, Jesup, GA 31546, telephone 912-427-1300. The city’s Police Department FAQ says incident and accident reports may be picked up at the Police Department. That is a local police-record contact, separate from county court-record resources.
The same FAQ identifies the Municipal Court courtroom at 642 E. Plum Street inside the Jesup Police Department. This identifies the courtroom’s location; it does not establish which court handles a particular accusation. Use the court named on your own notice when organizing the matter.

County court-record resources have a different role
The Wayne County clerk’s Court page describes receiving, filing, storing and retrieving civil and criminal records for Superior, State and Drug Court, and managing juvenile court records. Its general office telephone is 912-427-5930. These stated functions are distinct from the Jesup Police Department’s report pickup and the Municipal Court location.
The Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority lists the Wayne County court clerk at 174 N. Brunswick Street, Jesup, GA 31546, with a separate mailing address of PO Box 920, Jesup, GA 31598. It lists Superior, State and Juvenile courts managed. When sorting records or contacts, match the named court and document to the appropriate office; an office listing alone does not establish a particular case’s court or venue.

Prepare a focused review
Make a short chronology of events and preserve the documents and messages connected to the accusation. Mark what the notice says, what you understand happened, and what remains unclear. Keep your notes factual and separate from assumptions.
