Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers personal injury and criminal defense services across Georgia from its Valdosta office. If a matter is connected to Worth County, organize the affected person, location, available records and any notices before contacting the firm.

Personal injury: organize the available records
For a personal injury matter, gather the documents and information you already have, such as notices, correspondence and records related to the incident. Keep the location clear: a Worth County matter should not be assumed to have occurred in Sylvester merely because local contacts are listed in the city.
The firm offers personal injury services and can assess the actual matter and available records. The records that may be useful, and what they show, depend on the circumstances; this page does not determine fault, deadlines or potential compensation.

Criminal defense: identify the notice and court
For a criminal defense matter, keep the existing notice or court papers together and note the court named on them. Worth County's court clerk is listed at 201 North Main Street, Courthouse Room 13, Sylvester, Georgia 31791, phone 229-776-8205. The clerk listing identifies Superior, State and Juvenile courts; it does not establish that every matter or hearing belongs there.
Sylvester Municipal Court is a separate city court at 102 South Main Street, Sylvester, Georgia 31791, phone 229-776-8500. Confirm any appearance location from the actual notice rather than assuming a Worth County matter is a municipal matter. The firm offers criminal defense services and counsel can assess the matter and available records.

Keep court, city and police contacts distinct
The Worth County court clerk's Courthouse Room 13 address is separate from Sylvester Municipal Court. Sylvester City Hall, at 101 North Main Street, Sylvester, Georgia 31791, phone 229-776-8505, houses the city clerk and administrative offices; it is not the municipal court address.
Sylvester's police contact is at South Isabella Street. The city directory identifies the police contact but does not state a report-release policy or establish that police are the custodian for every record. The appropriate contact depends on the record and the agency involved; these listings do not promise that a record is available or will be released.
