Divisions
Address: 106 5th St., Harrisville, MI. Phone 989-724-9400. CONFIRMED on this county's own page as part of the four-county 23rd Circuit ('covers the counties of Alcona, Arenac, Iosco and Oscoda') -- see Iosco's rank-57 row for the full writeup. This page separately states 'three Circuit Judges' (vs. Iosco's and Arenac's 'one Circuit Judge' phrasing) -- a minor inconsistency across the counties' own sites, not resolved this pass. Presiding Judge Laura A. Frawley. Handles civil >$25,000, felonies/serious misdemeanors, domestic relations, child abuse/neglect/delinquency, District/zoning/administrative appeals.
