“I am truly honored to be appointed to the 52-3 District Court and thankful to the governor for this opportunity to serve the community that my family calls home,” said Polizzi. “I am humbled by this opportunity, and I will work to ensure that all individuals are treated fairly, with respect, and equal access to justice.”
Polizzi is a partner at Polizzi & Medley Law in Mount Clemens and litigates domestic, business, real estate, juvenile and criminal matters.
She has been recognized by Super Lawyers as a Michigan Rising Star from 2018 through 2024.
Polizzi serves on the board of directors for the Macomb County Bar Association and Macomb County Bar Foundation. Previously, she served as president of the Women’s Lawyers Association of Michigan, Macomb Region.
