Macomb County's Corporation Counsel Introduced

Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel introduced his nominee for corporation counsel, Gabe Orzame, during an event Friday to honor outgoing Corporation Counsel George Brumbaugh.

Hackel also introduced former Shelby Township Supervisor Skip Maccarone who will serve as interim corporation counsel until Orzame's appointment is approved by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners.

Maccarone is no stranger to county government. He is a private practice attorney and was the Executive Director of the Macomb County Charter Commission. He also served as the first independent legal counsel to the Board of Commissioners once the charter became effective in January 2011.

Orzame, of Troy, has spent the past 13 years working for the courts in in the tri-county area. He spent five years as a research attorney for the Macomb Circuit Court and the past four years as a management analyst for the U.S. District Court in Detroit.

He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law.
