Detroit, MI asked in Civil Rights and Landlord - Tenant for Michigan

Q: I need help with an eviction case. I believe it’s a retaliatory eviction. Along with a violation of the fair housing act

I am also disabled and I have been discriminated against by my landlord. He has put my children and me in a very bad situation by not repairing water and electrical issues. I need to find a pro bono attorney because I am waiting on my wage loss along with my lawsuit to settle. Please if someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

A: You should contact your county's legal aid office. If you've been served and have a court date, the court will probably already have someone from legal aid ready to assist you for the subsequent hearing.
