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 ?
answered on Oct 3, 2020
Yes, or the motion may be granted, meaning that you lose the suit. You may want to consult an attorney.

Until the divorce is complete, that property is still at issue. Could he box this things up and bring them to her current place?
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.
He has now threatened to sue me. What is my best course of action?

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a starting point, without regard to any applicable state-specific laws, you could try to diffuse the person's anger by providing assurances you ceased and will continue to cease to use his person, his...

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. We spoke with multiple well contractors and learned that we can install a good well about 100 yards from the house at the... View More

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.

Once we get the facts laid out, the answer will become clear.
If the lease is in your name and you move out with the expectation that the roommate is going to sublet from you, you and the roommate need to determine the terms of the sublet. If the roommate is going to "take on the full... View More

You want to know if you have a meritorious case. A lawyer will require a lot more information to answer this question. The biggest problem with your potential case is the verbal contract. Your recording may or may not be admissible in court based on multiple factors. If it's not admissible,... View More
I was told by my roommate she was moving and not returning. She left behind a lot of stuff when she left Michigan for Arkansas. I received about an hours notice that she was moving out.
answered on Jul 7, 2020
Your roommate may have abandoned her property. Unfortunately, Michigan doesn't have a bright-line rule about what and when property may be considered abandoned. Do you know where she now lives, or otherwise have a way to contact her? Your best bet might be to send her a letter indicating that... View More
Are there certain time limits that affect when I am able to request certain accounting records?
answered on May 29, 2020
Beneficiary of what document? Will? Trust? Bank Account?
If the former two, you have the right to request that of the Trustee/Personal Representative
If the later, you should be dealing directly with the bank, and you don't need an 'accounting' so much as you need to... View More

You are in a tough spot. This stopped being between just you and your boyfriend the minute the police were called.

No real answer here other than to say you really should be consulting with an attorney versed in federal court procedure, and at least consult with an attorney about helping you draft an appeal.

Hi,
In a hypothetical situation- if someone has a boyfriend who has been stalking them and on camera admitted to stealing their naked photos what can legally be done?
Additionally, what if proof is founded that he has been selling these photos online for money? what can happen to him?
answered on Apr 22, 2020
Probably a good first step would be to seek a PPO; immediate safety from stalking is paramount. Second, civil liability for the pictures will depend on the circumstances those pictures were taken. If they were taken during good times (i.e. some consent to the pictures is stated or implied),... View More
