★★★★★4.0 (4)- ★★★★★Robin CardenGoogle
Staff is helpful and prompt. As a local minister, I appreciate the way they go above and beyond to help when I have a question about a marriage license I need to complete. The clerk, Michelle Crocker, is a professional who doesn’t allow personal feelings or county politics to interfere with the integrity of her work.

Clerk Michelle Crocker is a "law and order clerk". She has paid an enormous price to fight for OUR rights and to stand up against the corrupt under-belly of Bad Characters inhabiting Leelanau County Government.
