Michigan 52-3 District Court


The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every calling, is diligence

What is the 52-3 District Court?

Located  just off of Rochester road in Rochester Hills, the 52-3 serves various northern Oakland County areas, such as Auburn Hills, Rochester, Rochester Hills, Lake Orion, Orion Township, Orion Township, Addison Township, Oakland Township, and Oxford.  The 52-3 District Court is the primary court for all misdemeanor and felony charges arising from those jurisdictions.  The Fifty-Second 3rd District Court is run by three judges, Judge Lisa Asadoorian, Judge Julie Nicholson, and Judge Nancy Carniak.   As Rochester criminal felony attorneys, we have had extensive experience handling many different types of cases in the Rochester Hills Court. 

52-3 Judges

The 52-3 District Court is a very complex court filled with different personalities. A felony case before Judge Nicholson must be dealt with very differently than one before Judge Carniak. The Rochester Court can also be a dangerous place for a criminal defendant, and as such, it is imperative that you hire a lawyer who understands this courts proclivities. Unfortunately, it is our opinion that much of the bad reputation that this court receives is due to the lack of lawyers willing to go in there and fight. Instead, they are afraid of these judges. We’ve won plenty of jury trials here and even sued the 52-3 District Court for illegally throwing kids in jail. We are not afraid to fight and we will fight your Rochester Hills felony case harder than any other criminal defense law firm in Michigan.
