Franklin County

Official roster status: Published current roster

Roster type: Combined Title 26 GAL and Title 11 court visitor registry. Source date: 2026-07-02. Last reviewed: August 12, 2026.

The official Benton County Superior Court registry page states that the listed Title 11 court visitors/GALs must be on the registry to accept cases in both Benton and Franklin Counties, and it publishes nine names with service categories; the linked page timestamps are July 1–2, 2026. Individual background-document links were not retrievable in the page extraction, so the only publicly verified contact detail is the registry manager’s phone/email, which the court provides for obtaining the next names and appointment information.
