I think the police are right (this time). Stay away from her and give it some time for cooler heads to prevail.

No way of telling without knowing the hearing purpose and whether you are the petitioner or respondent. PPO proceedings are quasi-criminal, but with the exception of violations and some collateral consequences, the general civil procedures apply. If you are a respondent and you don't appear,...

I have garnished their bank account … it was $1.11 in it. Then I had a court order for the Wayne county sheriff seize property but this has not been successful either. How can I collect my judgment from someone or entity that refuses to cooperate?
answered on May 10, 2021
You've asked the $64,000 question. You may have what can be called a judgment proof debtor. You have right now a piece of paper saying someone legally owes you money; that paper is just - a piece of paper - unless and until you can legally collect.
All you can really do is keep trying... View More

It's not entirely clear what you're asking. But, publicly obtainable images doesn't mean the images are in the public domain. And videos containing images that are not properly licensed, particularly ones produced with a commercial purpose, may create unnecessary liability and risk... View More
The potential employer paid for my ticket. I was informed at the check-in counter that I wasn't allowed to fly because I had received the wrong COVID test. I went through four rounds of interviews to get to the finalist stage. When they found out I couldn't fly, the organization... View More

Interesting facts...I think the damages would be a bit speculative: as you stated, you weren't guaranteed the position, and otherwise suffered no expense (other than time, etc.). And even if you were able to overcome that hurdle, I would think those damages would be mitigated by your current... View More
This client has had an outstanding bill since 2012. The client has made $5-$10 monthly (sometimes every other month) payments. At this rate is is going to be 12-13 years before recovering the total amount owed. Also when the client makes payment it is normally sent in to run a debit card which... View More

Maybe.
(1) It depends on whether or not the creditor is an entity. If so, small claims would likely be inappropriate and the entity attorney might be required to file in district court. If the creditor is an individual, small claims might be appropriate.
(2) Likely the most... View More
She's not on any bills or the rental agreement however we have lived together for a year now. She refused to move continues to tell me to "evict her" do I have to go through an official eviction processor is there another way?
answered on Feb 22, 2021
If she is holding over after a 'legal' lease (whether or not her name is on anything the facts you present make her a 'legal' tenant on a month to month basis at the very least) you DO need to go through an eviction process if she refuses to move out voluntarily.
That... View More

Depends on how much you want to press the issue; do you want an actual PPO against you? Because that would likely be the next step.

It is nearly impossible to "prove" that you were pulled over illegally. Don't waste your time. You will irritate the court and harm your case. All police need is "reasonable suspicion" that a traffic offense could be occurring to pull you over for a brief investigation.... View More

I would otherwise agree with what you are saying, however you stand now in a different position from your co-defendants because you are in default. Unfortunately, there are many procedural rules you must follow even if you are right. You would need to motion the court to set aside the default... View More
Accountant says I can turn it over to State of Michigan division of corporations.
answered on Dec 11, 2020
There is no procedure for the state to accept a transfer to it of a membership interest in an LLC. It should be possible to resign as a member. You should consult with an attorney who can review the entire situation, and the accountant may be useful for advice as to potential tax consequences or... View More
Business Court. I need an attorney for limited scope representation to dismiss an action by a LLC against a Member of the LLC. The question is whether the LLC in its own name may sue a Member without 90 day notice in advance and under what circumstances.
answered on Dec 5, 2020
The Michigan LLC Act does not require advance notice prior to a suit against a member. Does the operating agreement for the LLC so provide? If not, and unless the LLC was formed in a jurisdiction that has an advance-notice requirement, there is no such requirement.
LLC filed a complaint against a MEMBER in the LLC on behalf of the LLC and the Judge said I have to have an attorney but a lawyer told me I don't need a lawyer because I am not defending the LLC
answered on Dec 3, 2020
Yes. The LLC is a separate entity that cannot represent itself and therefore must be represented by an attorney.

Are they now splitting? At some point, one person would need to "buy out" the other in exchange for a deed. That is when your grandson would need to negotiate. Legally, he will be between a rock and a hard place on the downpayment; it's legally a gift, with no obligation on the... View More
Let’s say some dealership is trying to be slick and use Facebook marketplace. They post a product for ridiculously cheap knowing that product is way more then the posted price. Could a consumer sue the dealer to get the product for the posted price?
answered on Nov 15, 2020
As they say, "the devil is in the details". You would really need to ascertain what, if any, strings are attached to the offer, and whether you met all those conditions. Let's just say, for example, a store advertised new refrigerators for $100, but the conditions were that you had... View More

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks.

I field a motion to dismiss and filed for hearing . The plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgement last week . My question do I have to answer them if I'm waiting for my court hearing ?

Yes, or the motion may be granted, meaning that you lose the suit. You may want to consult an attorney.

I used his Linkdlen profile without his permission in my sales presentation but I did not profit from using his likeness. He then said I was a fraud and con man to many other people.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks.

I moved my family into a new house in Quincy, Michigan. A day after moving in, our water stops working. It turns out the well is dry, and the whole area is just bad for water.

Without seeing the closing paperwork and disclosures it is hard to say for sure. You need to have a local attorney look at the paperwork (did you use an attorney to review the closing? You SHOULD have!) to determine if anything like this can survive the closing.
