About Jody

Learn Jody’s areas of practice.

2
Practice areas

I am a trial lawyer in Valdosta, Georgia handling mostly criminal and personal injury cases.  I have spent most of my nineteen years fighting insurance companies, who deny injured victims their rightful claims for medical bills, pain and suffering and lost wages.  I handle all types of personal injury cases, but mainly concentrating in the areas of wrongful death, trucking accidents, car wrecks and slip and falls. I handle cases all over  the Southeastern United States.

 

I am also committed to representing individuals against the heavy hand of the government in criminal cases.  Remember, an arrest is not an conviction.

A great lawyer
I hired Mr. Peterman to defend me in a tough criminal case. He was hard working and kept me informed. During the trial he did awesome on cross examination and gave one hell of a closing argument. Jody Peterman is a great lawyer, who really does care about his clients.

Licensed Bully
I hired him and was not pleased with his work, so I contacted him about a refund. I stated pay yourself for the service you’ve done up to this date 3/14 and send the remaining of my 3,000. He refused to send me my money start talking about how he done this I asked for an invoice I still yet to receive one. He said to me sue him. He is nothing less than a licensed bully. Please use a more professional lawyer.
