Filing a motion to withdraw lawsuit

Answered 2 years and 3 months ago by attorney Gilbert Borman   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Real Estate
Lawyers are busy people. I have empathy for the workload every lawyer lives under. That said clients are entitled to be kept up on things. Send a letter to the lawyer asking for a face to face meeting and 2 suggested times. If she does not reply, you will need to hire new counsel if you want the case to go forward. Be careful as, if you drop the case, you might be held liable for the other side's attorney fees. Courts are jammed since COVID and that makes the process slow. My advise, be civil, demand an update in writing and request monthly updates via email going forward. The case ought to be straightforward but with real estate, the devil is in the details. This seems like an easement by prescription case. Lastly, she might be having health issues. All that said, if you want new counsel, the best is to have new counsel substitute in, if you want to abandon the case, it is best to have her do it. If you want to fire her, she has to file a Motion to withdraw no one else can do it for her. I only work in SE michigan if you live outside the region, I might be able to find you new counsel or you can go to the State Bar's lawyer referal service at 800 968 0738 Best of luck to you Gil Borman 2483535555...

Given the short duration of your marriage, alimony is not an issue. The broadstrokes answer to your question is that she is not going to be entitled to assets that you came into the marriage with. However, she may be entitled to a share of any appreciation of those assets. It would be easier to discuss your situation over the phone if you would like a complimentary consultation.... Read More

Does my ex have a right to stay in my home that I rent?

Answered 2 years and 5 months ago by attorney Gilbert Borman   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Real Estate
She is not a tenant and never was on the lease. That said, follow the law and spare yourself real headaches. Your cousin has to send HER a notice to quit, she is a tenant at sufferance. If she then refuses to move out, then you have to evict her in court. You will be seeking a Judgment of Possession only. There is no defense she has to the action if there is no lease.   good luck...

Answered 2 years and 5 months ago by attorney Gilbert Borman   |   1 Answer
There are non-bankruptcy solutions to debt but, for some Bankruptcy is the right answer. Even in a bankruptcy, you can still keep your house and car.

What you must not do, is do nothing, if you do, creditors will pile up judgments against you and even bankruptcy won't help you. Good luck!... Read More
