There are lawyers who may meet with you to advise you on whether and how to proceed with such claims. However, an attorney cannot represent you in the actual small claims proceeding.
Total $3000 turns out the money I believed to be her personal funds was actually a personal loan from the bank that she did not disclose. Now two years later the loan was paid back and she’s insisting I pay her back. Nothing is in writing and my name was not listed as a borrower nor did we... View More

If you agreed to pay her back, then you owe her the money and she might be able to sue to get a judgment.
It's been 4 weeks and I still have not heard anything back yet is that normal?
answered on Aug 17, 2024
Could absolutely be normal. Have you called to inquire about the timeline? You are paying a professional to draft a complex and personalized document, not a fill-in-the-blank template (hopefully).
Tornado. Insurance company doesn't want to pay I'm going to be homeless and I have no food, money or gas to go apply for disaster relief

You may need a lawyer if your insurance company isn't upholding its end of your insurance policy.

Lots of places - some better than others. Justia, Google Scholar, and a host of other sources are freely available online. Your local library may also have free access to Westlaw or Lexis Nexis.

Probably. Call the cemetery and find out. They would probably pay you something so that they can sell those spaces to someone else.

Probably. Although you may need to open a probate estate to obtain authority to do so.
I had an attorney that was going to handle my case pro Bono and the judge said that they could not do it because I was not a resident of the state of Michigan but how can that be true if I am in court in that state my lawyer would have to be licensed in that state
answered on Apr 7, 2024
You can be hauled into court in Michigan even if you are not a Michigan resident. If you are not a resident, according to the judge, you are not eligible to have a court appointed attorney.
For context I am to receive this pension till death or marriage. Right now I get a month pay out.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. There isn't a category here for ERISA and pensions, but you could look into whether local or state bar associations could offer guidance on attorneys in your area who might handle such matters. Good luck
The registration has the wrong name and driver license no. on it, Does this void the contract. Informed the dealer of this, he said i have to have it corrected at my local secretary of state office
answered on Feb 2, 2024
Does this void your contract? Probably not. However, the reason for the error should be investigated. I suggest you file a complaint with the Michigan Attorney General. And also contact the S.O.S. and ask questions. Perhaps they can shed some light.

A Michigan attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. You may want to consider expanding your categories to include copyright/intellectual property, as there could be issues to consider in that area as well. Good luck

What you are describing can either be accomplished through a delegation of parental authority (power of attorney) or through limited guardianship. A limited guardianship will take longer and will cost more, but offers Court oversight and protection if mom were to become an issue. A delegation of... View More
I have my warranty deed, as well as the warranty deed of the woman I purchased my home from before Matthew and I were even married.

A forged deed is not valid. You can file suit to challenge the forged deed and regain possession of your property. The notary may also have liability, and the notary probably posted a bond in the amount of $10,000 from which you might recover. You should consult with an attorney because the... View More
Losing my home? I had a default judgment rolled against me on July 7 and attempted to file a motion to dismiss on July 13. The court clerk refused to accept my dismissal, claiming that I did not have the 21 days I was told I only had seven. This directly led to me now losing my home. What can I do... View More

You need a lawyer; and you likely needed a lawyer months ago.
As happens when people try to represent themselves, you are unaware of the proper procedures and court rules. Filing whatever you think is proper whenever you think it should be filed is not how this works.

Hello everyone. I worked at and purchased a solar panel system from a solar installer in Michigan. There is a panel that is not functioning and I have had no help from the installation company for literally 87days. The battery was to be installed in 2022 when available. The battery is still not...

answered on Sep 6, 2023
You will need to sue the solar installer for breach of contract. In most instances, the finance company is not responsible for the solar system not working. All it did was provide money pursuant to a loan. The company that sold you the system, and the manufacturer of the system, are legally... View More
The new owner said the deposit didn’t count for the rental because it wasn’t paid to her. She made us pay $700 more for the rental. Can she do this? Shouldn’t the sale of the house include deposits to the former owner? We have a contract with the deposit on it that is signed by the former owner.
answered on Jul 23, 2023
you have a claim against the former owner, but not against the present owner, unless the present owner assumed liability for outstanding deposits. I would first contact the former owner and demand a refund.
My cousin recently left a continuing care facility that filed chapter 11 two weeks later. Per her contract she gave 60 days notice but moved out in 20. Is she obligated to pay for the remaining 40 days since she probably wont be getting the 90% of her entrance fee back that was promised in her... View More

A bankruptcy alone does not void a contract. Chapter 11 is a business reorganization. Essentially someone - a trustee - takes over the business, managing its assets and liabilities. Largely, that process does not affect you the consumer.
Think about it: you have likely bought products or... View More

Yes, but you should raise a defense that you are a minor (unemancipated, I assume) and cannot be held legally responsible for a debt that is not for a necessity.

You can be sued for anything, really. But based on your summary I wouldn't worry about getting sued. The plaintiff in any lawsuit is required to prove damages. I doubt this LLC has been harmed by what you've done, as explained. (I probably wouldn't have admitted to forwarding these... View More
