It appears from the facts you have written that you were entitled to your tools back. Were you to file suit in court, it would be called a claim and delivery complaint. I hope that helps you. The problem is the cost of filing and prosecuting a lawsuit.

The contractor appears to be asserting a mechanic's lien, which is a possessory lien on goods that were worked on. The contractor would have a lien on the goods to secure payment of work done on the goods. You apparently dispute the value or scope of the services. You can sue the... View More 
My realtor sent the listing agent a few repairs to make and they agreed to do so. After final walkthrough the repair was not noticeable until after coming back to the property and turning on the water. There was still a leak in the plumbing that was supposed to have been fixed. Now I’m stuck with... View More

Initially, I suggest you write a letter to the seller and copy the agent. The letter should point out the defects and make a specific demand for reimbursement. After they ignore or reject your demand, you may then consider legal action. However, since you did not point out the defects during the... View More
Sub-contractor gave a verbal price which I agreed too but told him to send me a written estimate. He went ahead and did the job without sending a written estimate. The invoice he sent is way more. I refused to pay and now he has an attorney threating a lien against the homeowner and lawsuit... View More

Next time get it in writing. Ask for time and material records to see if the records come close in value to the sub's claim.

It doesn't, necessarily. If signed on behalf of an entity, the person who signed would need legal authority to bind the entity, otherwise the entity may rightly say they are not responsible for the contract.
If talking about individuals, then whomever signed it may be held responsible.
I keep hearing about this law i have looked it up but i dont understand the way it is written. as i am told "it is illegal to charge for a down payment on a vehicle from a car lot dealership.

Truth In Lending covers what must be disclosed by lenders to consumers. It's impossible to summarize what is a voluminous piece of legislation covering many different scenarios. If you have any doubts about what is presented to you by a car dealership, or any other lender, you should consult... View More
My boyfriend and I have been together for 9 years. We recently purchased a home together. As we were not married, I first asked to just put my name on the house, but he and his family talked me into having us sign the papers together. Only my name is on the mortgage as my boyfriend does not have... View More

There's no easy way to part ways when you own a house together. Best case scenario is similar to what's done in a divorce: you figure out the equity in the house, split that, and pay him his half in exchange for him signing a quit claim deed to you so that you own the house outright. If... View More
We went to trial in Arbitration and the Judge awarded the plaintiff an amount.

Maybe. You can contact an attorney, although it reads like you have counsel.

Workers comp claims take awhile. Your attorney probably knows very well the timeline and process. You could consult with another workers comp attorney, but they may tell you the same.

Yes, quite likely, but against your friend. Your first priority should be to determine who actually owns the car - whose name is on the title? Because if it's the person who the husband co-signed for, that person could claim the car stolen. OR, the bank or whomever made the original loan could... View More
Of the Gov.Cera plan, or MSHDA. He proceeded to tell me how he doesn't think I have a disability, I should go back to work
He's in pain everyday and he works, He doesn't feel as tho anyone should be on disability.Any insight, Because I'm really
answered on Jun 26, 2021
Are you already renting under MSHDA or some other program? Your landlord does not get to decide if you are disabled or whether you qualify under any program.

No. But have you tried filing for a debtor's exam with the court? If debtor doesn't show up, you can ask the court for a bench warrant. If they do show up, they must produce information regarding their assets under oath.
I signed a contract with the individual that he would replace the fencing around my property. After the check cleared for the down payment, he has stopped returning my messages. What are my legal options?
answered on May 26, 2021
Yes, unless the accepted offer was already revoked prior to acceptance.

Unless other facts exist, I don't see why the May 20th agreement would not be binding. By accepting you as a tenant with HUD services, your landlord is obligated to follow their protocol.

No. Incarcerated individuals retain legal title and ownership over assets acquired before their sentence.

The incarcerated person would not lose their interest in the land simply for being incarcerated.
I’ve moved my furniture out of the place, returned my keys, and have started the process of returning my deposit. Is there a written agreement in Michigan specifically that is required?
answered on Apr 14, 2021
A lease is a contract. Generally, the parties are bound by the provisions of a signed lease. Turning in the keys is a unilateral step only. Without the landlord's release, you would still be obligated on the contract.
And now I find out that apparently there are utilities besides consumers connected to the apartment how can I hold them accountable for never giving me this information
answered on Apr 3, 2021
It looks like your question is originating in Ohio, but in the Michigan law section.
There just isn't enough information to provide even a remote answer, regardless you'll probably need to contact an attorney directly for a consultation on this.

In the briefest terms, the seller is probably not exempt.
