Bryan Padgett, a lifelong Macomb County resident, was nominated and confirmed by the Macomb County Board of Commissioners to fill a vacancy on the Macomb County Ethics Board. Bryan has a strong foundation in civil litigation and a longstanding commitment to ethical practice—qualities that align closely with the responsibilities of the Ethics Board. He represents clients in high-exposure tort and insurance defense matters, including personal injury, wrongful death, and complex liability claims. Known for his strategic mindset and courtroom presence, Bryan brings a balanced, principled perspective to this new role.
Bryan’s legal training and analytical skills will support the Board’s mission of promoting independence, impartiality, and fairness in county government to help strengthen public trust.
