Q: In Michigan after a judgement has been Made can I appeal? how long does the plaintiff have to wait to put a lien on my p
Property? do they have to wait 21 days before they can do that?
A:
You CAN appeal, but there must be a basis for that appeal. In other words, you can't just appeal 'because you think it is the wrong decision' you have to have a legal reason WHY the judge / jury came to the wrong conclusion. If you don't understand what that means, you REALLY need to hire a local litigation attorney ASAP to discuss this with you.
"Enforcement" cannot begin until the appeal period has run, be that 21 days or some other shorter period. The process is complex and time lines are unforgiving, so don't try to 'wing' this yourself!
See http://courts.mi.gov/self-help/center/casetype/pages/appeal.aspx for more information, but DO get yourself a local appeals attorney!
