Welcome!

Thanks for Four More Years!

Thank you to the more than 365,000 Franklin County voters who re-elected me as your Franklin County Clerk of Courts and to serve you for another four years. My success is the direct result of the more than 210 Deputy Clerks who daily provide their professional best. Each Deputy Clerk - from my Executive and Managerial staff, to those in the roles of Document Management Specialists, Cashiers, Business and Fiscal officers, IT, and Auto Title Clerks, works diligently to serve our legal community, auto dealers, other county and state agencies, and the general public. Together we are enthusiastic to continue in our mission of providing Timely, Accurate, Courteous and Extraordinary service to everyone. We appreciate your confidence and support, and look forward to serving Franklin County for four more years.
