I have two scenarios: 1) I work for an orthodontist office and sometimes they have conferences or go on vacation so we won’t have a doctor. The practice director or doctor will decide the practice will be closed. Sometimes all of us get the day off but other times just some of us and we aren’t... Read more »

Maybe. But, it depends largely on whether or not you have a written contract with fixed employment terms within it.
It can be a little complicated (for the employer) when it comes to eligibility for health insurance, UIA, or other things, but generally, at will employees serve at the will... Read more »
My house burned down and I lost everything, I was living in a hotel room with three dogs. I was desperate for a place.

You've raised quite a lot of potential issues. First, I think you're probably on the right track, listen to your gut and do some research if you're unable to hire an attorney.
Now, the following --generalizations-- might help narrow down your search (but don't limit... Read more »

This was a few months ago but I wasn’t going to fight it cuz I assumed they were right but my ambulance bills are just piling up because I can’t afford them. They said they aren’t paying for it cuz it’s not a work related injury. The job is a restaurant that’s not a union (as far as I know)
answered on Apr 7, 2023
Had the employer not called an ambulance it might be a wildly different situation and then you might have a cause of action against them. If it helps, imagine if you called an ambulance on behalf of someone, and they asked you to pay for it for simply making a phone call. That could serve as a... Read more »
Is this legal, when they gave me contractor's information? Should the contractor have known what was allow in the HOA since he came at the HOA recommendation? I spoke to HOA told them work was complete before new policy was in place. I did not hear anything until this year with threats, five... Read more »
answered on Aug 4, 2022
It depends what the HOA has actually done to enforce the new policy. It sounds to me like it would be grandfathered in until typical HOA policies, but perhaps not. Unfortunately, if the HOA is making a bigger deal out of this than they should it might take a costly lawsuit to get the matter... Read more »
Apple cash information. I have proof that it was the target purchase that allowed the hackers to get my information. Do I have a case?
answered on Aug 4, 2022
You do against the hackers. But there's not enough information for other potential parties. Most transactions using Apple Cash are below $1,000 and it is likely you'll get your money back for fraudulent transfers. Have you contacted Apple, Target, and the bank behind Apple Cash? How do...

You're outlining a case that comes with a strong headwind. I am hesitant to say it is definitely barred until more information is divulged.

My adult daughter, who is presently already under an apt lease (since Dec 2021) in her hometown in Michigan, signed a one year lease for an apartment in Chicago while on medications (still is) to treat a mental illness.
She went thru a broker who keeps the first month's rent... Read more »
answered on Aug 4, 2022
What you're outlining, as identified by some other attorneys here, is a defense based on lack of capacity. That is, certain individuals (possibly your daughter) are legally incapable of incurring binding contractual obligations. And in the case of a protected individual in this class who makes...

I am worried about contempt, I am in Wayne county, MI. I’ve never had a felony or misdemeanor, and I’m able to report for jury duty. I’ve lost the return mailing address envelope sent so I don’t know where to send in a filled form. I guess my question is what is the chance I go to jail or pay a fine
answered on Aug 1, 2022
This is not legal advice, don't construe it as that. The only certain way of getting an answer you can rely on is by hiring an attorney. Below are some practical considerations:
Sometimes the best option is to call the clerk of courts and let them know. While you might face contempt,... Read more »

Sometimes a practical solution is best. You could offer to split the proceeds of any sale with your father. If you give him an estimate of value, he might change his mind about storing something so valuable.
If he only has three binders, and if they are particularly valuable (a quick google... Read more »
I paid my credit card payment electronically on the 25th when it was due which also fell on a Saturday.

Being a single member LLC wouldn't change whether or not the late fee can be assessed on the company. It sort of depends on the contract you signed requiring you to pay in the first place to determine whether or not the late fee was properly assessed.
The lot is .52 acres, however with the easement the home and yard are on .30 acres the rest is easement
answered on Jul 26, 2022
When it comes to infringing on an easement, it might be wise to first contact the persons who use the easement and ask them if they would be ok with you moving it. On the other hand, it sounds like this particular easement takes up a large portion of the useable yard, so perhaps this easement... Read more »

That's an interesting question, and possibly. Michigan does offer protection, via statute, from weight discrimination. An Oklahoma company, operating in Michigan, might fit under Michigan protections. It might not though.
We live out of state and spend summer in Michigan. Called lawn service to cut grass in Mich. Agreed on price . No written contract. Find that they cut grass high so it needs it every week. Only able to afford service every other week. They disagree.

Regardless of the type of agreement you have, the most important information you could have is... you probably have a contract, and binding. But, what the terms of the agreement are, you'll probably need to hire an attorney and litigate it to ever know for certain.

There is a particular timeline that must be followed in Michigan regarding security deposits on both the landlord and tenant side. If that timeline hasn't been followed, then you might have a cause of action to file and recover it.
answered on May 27, 2022
Well it sort of depends on where you are in the tenancy and what the landlord means that you will be evicted.
Hypothetically, if your lease expired or your otherwise you're under a month-to-month tenancy and imagine that on Monday the 23rd the landlord told you to sign or you're... Read more »
