Valdosta, GA — Our Home Base
Our office at 304 N. Ashley Street in downtown Valdosta has been the base of the firm's practice since 1995. From here we serve clients throughout Lowndes County and the I-75 corridor, where high-speed truck and car crashes are common — and, in serious matters, across the entire State of Georgia.
What Our Clients Say
“Today is Father's Day and the main reason why I've been able to spend it with my 5 year old daughter, is because my wife and I hired Mr. Peterman on my case last year. His hard work, dedication, experience and expertise simply made the difference. While being detained we hired Jody because he was the only lawyer in town who answered my wife's calls on a Sunday. He continued to be available anytime and all the time during our fight. If you hire Jody you will have an honest and straightforward attorney on your side. Mr Peterman is highly respected in the courtrooms and the system in general. You will not find a better attorney to represent you.”
“I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding representation I received from Mr. Peterman in my personal injury lawsuit. From the very beginning, he demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, dedication, and expertise. He took the time to understand the specifics of my case, answered all my questions, and provided me with honest and realistic expectations. The communication was exceptional — I was always kept informed about the progress of my case, and I felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. Thank you, Mr. Peterman, for helping me achieve justice!”
“Mr. Peterman assisted my children and I with our personal injury case. He truly has gone above and beyond in ensuring our needs and rights were met. I'm very satisfied with the outcome of our case. I highly recommend.”
“Mr. Peterman is an amazing trial lawyer. He will fight for your freedom with everything he has. He's the big dog in the fight and losing isn't in his vocabulary. Give him a chance and you will not be disappointed.”
“Jody really cares about his clients. He is a good man and the greatest lawyer ever!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Nothing. For a free case evaluation, call us at 229-588-2608 or complete our contact form. Fee arrangements depend on the type of case, and we will explain ours to you in plain terms before you decide anything.
Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury. Some claims have shorter deadlines, so it's best to call as soon as possible.
Most cases settle, but we prepare every case for trial from day one. That readiness is often what drives a fair settlement.
It depends on your injuries, treatment, lost income, and the impact on your life. We'll give you an honest assessment during your free case evaluation.
We represent clients from our Valdosta office and throughout the State of Georgia, including Valdosta, Adel, Tifton, Albany, Cordele, Douglas, Moultrie, and Thomasville.
