I am a novice real estate investor. The stated closing date in the purchase agreement was October 3rd. The house had a broken front window. I had an addendum stating the window would be fix by closing. The window wasn’t fixed until October 14th. I told the agent that I wanted to close on November... View More

You may have an action against the seller if the addendum is detailed and signed by both parties. If the window repair is required and they failed perform, then it seems that they are breaching the contract. Still, A real estate attorney would need to review your purchase offer before pressing your... View More
I won but my exhusband is suing me for his attorney fees in a civil case. I don’t have an attorney because I don’t have enough money for a retainer fee and legal aid said they don’t have the funding for my kind of case.

If you have been sued you MUST defend against the case or there will be a 'default' entered against you.
The facts you state here don't make sense. If the case is over ('you won') there wouldn't be the need for you to attend any deposition (If you lost there... View More

How old is your girlfriend? I'm not sure one issue has much to do with the other; one's a tax issue and the other is a relationship issue.

A MIchigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. There probably is case law, but maybe not on the level of specificity described in your post. You might find a greater level of detail in standard operating procedures for the district or the school - manuals for... View More
Plantiff signed a contract because a government agency did a faulty investigation. Can Plantiff use duress to void the contract?
answered on Sep 28, 2022
Unlikely. Plaintiff had an opportunity to challenge the investigation before entering into the settlement.
There was no storm, the tree was dying and neglected by the neighbor, causing it to snap and fall on my daughters car, completely destroying her sunroof and back window. Can we sue the neighbor for the damages in small claims court? We have lots of pictures and videos.
answered on Sep 6, 2022
It is probably best that you file a claim with your insurance company (auto or home) and then let the insurance company through subrogation, substitute in to bring the claim against your neighbor if warranted. Try that first.
I bought my home from my grandmas estate. My aunt was executor of the estate. Part of the deal when buying the house was that uncle would help me install new siding. Since the moment I paid them they have 100% ignored me. I have the siding, but now need to pay someone to install it

What was in the written agreement? It's unlikely you can enforce an agreement to "help".
I have a non-domestic PPO granted in 12/21 against the former owner (“RW”) of my property for stalking (sending harassing letters). We bought our house 3 yrs ago in a foreclosure. RW has litigated the foreclosure for over 10 years — all were pro se & she lost every claim. RW is prohibited... View More

It isn't so much the fact that she's representing herself; it's the fact that she is attempting - albeit poorly - legal proceedings. The service of papers is part of a legal proceeding that she remains entitled to try regardless of the PPO. In other words, just because you have a PPO... View More
Civil attorneys are hard to find. Where can I find one in detroit metro, michigan.
answered on Aug 4, 2022
A majority of lawyers are no different than doctors, accountants, or other licensed professionals. They are in business for profit. Fortunately, there are resources through the Michigan State Bar Association for a referral to an attorney or legal aid society who may be able to assist at a... View More
How do I find an attorney more interested in law than collections?
answered on Aug 3, 2022
The short answer is that you're biased...and it's perfectly normal to be biased to your own matters.
I assume you are not an attorney. You're looking at the matter like any other person would: "I feel like I was wronged in some way, shape, or form". An attorney... View More
I already know about participant exclusion to mutual consent rule in michigan. Just wanted to know if you can use these in a family court case, or other court case.

Possibly. But know that a lot of judges do not look favorably upon such recordings or unwarranted use of private investigators.

If it is a crime you are alleging she committed, then you can certainly contact the police and make a report; it's likely they will say this is a family / civil matter and stay out of it.
Is there a current PPO? You need to file an objection and have a hearing about that. Until then,... View More
She also maliciously infected me with covid after I found out. And then falsely accused me of ppo and stalking. What laws did she break? Do I have a case?
answered on Jul 20, 2022
Not sure she broke any laws. How would you prove any of this? You should focus on the allegations against you; the defense of which is not unsubstantiated claims.
The babies footprint or full name. Especially if this person is not the parent of the child or does that fall under the first Amendment and they can still legally get it?
answered on Jun 30, 2022
The wording of your question is a bit confusing: are you asking if you, as an adult, can get a child's name or footprint tattooed on you? If that's the case, then yes, you can. You can effectively get whatever you want tattooed on you. Now, what you can't do is force the baby to... View More

Probably not. Look, insurance is a business. It is probably not worth their while to fully investigate what might have happened, especially when clearly, the insurance company is paying a claim anyway, just to save a few bucks.
It is pre-arranged; insurance companies are most collision... View More
