52-3 District Court – Rochester, Michigan
The 52-3 District Court is separated into four primary divisions which include a:
- Traffic Division, which processes citations written by police departments.
- Civil Division, which oversees cases involving money or damage claims, and landlord/tenant disputes.
- Criminal Division, which processes paperwork from police departments, state law and ordinance prosecutors. Cases involve misdemeanor offenses, both traffic and non-traffic.
- Probation Department, which is responsible for supervision of probationers, conducting pre-sentence investigations, alcohol assessments, and probation violation hearings.
The presiding judges in the court are the Hon. Julie A. Nicholson, the Hon. Nancy T. Carniak, and the Hon. Lisa L. Asadoorian. Anyone who has been ordered to appear in the 52-3 District Court understands how difficult this court can be for criminal defendants and the like. It is imperative that you have an attorney who knows what to expect when entering into this court. The judges are hard nosed, rough and tough, and are sometimes unpredictable.
