Tree branches are hanging over to his house. Without any notice, my neighbor told me they are getting the trees cut and will place a lien against my house if I don't pay. I told him he can cut anything on his side but can't charge me. I've never talked to him about this before.

In short: no. Constitutional rights are protected by tests that weigh legitimate government interest. There are a number of exceptions that could allow government (e.g., the police) to redact information such as dates or names.
The court form state "do not make legal arguments." Without making a legal argument how does someone show how they were injured and prevail i.e. acted in bad faith, under color of law etcetera?

A complaint must establish a factual basis for all claims presented. A legal argument is different: It analyses facts with the law. What you want to do in a complaint is simply present facts.

I suppose so. Anyone can contact the police and make a complaint. That doesn't mean the police will do anything about it or "press charges". All depends on what evidence they find through their investigation.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I'm sorry for the loss of your best friend. Not all questions here are answered, but you could try reposting under "Probate" and "Estate Planning" for better chances of a response. Good luck
I had to pay 80k to an attorney to get my half of my inheritance. If he would not have lied on the affidavit I wouldn’t have had to get an attorney. Can I get my uncle to pay my attorney fees?

Possibly. You should talk with your lawyer about that. If the claim is now settled, you might have some difficulty going back asking for more money now.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. It sounds like you complied, based on the brief description. But an attorney could advise more definitively with seeing the membership contract. Good luck
They wrote wrong vehicle info in the ticket and report. Completely wrong year model and vin. Only thing correct was the color. They "allegedly" found drugs in the vehicle. Can the whole case be thrown out because of the amount of wrong information on the ticket.

Your problem is going to be that once it became known your driver license is suspended, you were subject to arrest, and the search of the car became a search incident to arrest; they didn't need your consent. The wrong info on the ticket is immaterial.

You, or someone, will need to initiate probate court proceedings - likely an assignment of property - before you can have proper title to the vehicle. Unfortunately, when it comes to the law, "close" only counts in horseshoes...

Not sure what your question is. I can see your point in that you paid them what they were owed, and incurred an additional fee to do so that you had nothing to do with. I can also see their point that what happened doesn't change the fact that you still owe them that set amount. I think -... View More
I intend to marry my cousin but the state does not allow it. My question is whether we can marry in another state and come back living happily ever after or will Michigan void the marriage and we are better off moving to a state that allows first cousin marriage?
