Answers, updates straight from the bench
The Macomb County Probate Bar Association recently offered members of the group the opportunity to pose questions to, and receive court updates from, judges serving on the Probate Court bench. In photo above, Probate Court Judge Sara Schimke (third from left) is pictured with (left to right): Zenon Kwik; MCPBA President Dave Forest; Justin Thomas; Lisa Lepine and Gary Gendernalik.
Others attending the ‘Meet Your Probate Court Judges’ event in the auditorium of the Clinton-Macomb Main Library in Clinton Township were (from left in photo to the right.): Michelle Donovan; Donna Bennett, Schimke’s court clerk; Kelly Mcilhargey, Schimke’s secretary; Farrah Ramdayal-Howard, president of the Macomb County Bar Association; and Jessica Lane, Schimke’s court attorney. Also on hand to field questions from area attorneys were Schimke’s colleagues on the bench, Probate Court Judges Sandra Harrison and Aaron Hall.
