Summary: The greatest risk of partnership disputes lies with informal deals, blurred authority, and one partner gaining more control over money, records, or decision-making. When trust breaks down, fiduciary duty claims can follow. Clear agreements, documented roles, regular disclosures, and prompt legal review can help contain conflict before it turns into litigation. A business partnership can look solid Read More

Summary: Relying on artificial intelligence as a “lawyer” exposes people to serious risk. Conversations with an AI tool are not protected by attorney-client privilege, can be stored and shared, and may be subpoenaed in a dispute or lawsuit. Casual jokes, venting, or rough drafts inside a chatbot can be interpreted as evidence of intent. Safer practice means using AI only for broad education, keeping facts of a real Read More

Summary: After a car crash, prompt medical treatment, detailed records, and consistent follow-up visits protect both your health and your legal claim. A law firm can coordinate with your medical providers, organize documentation, and challenge insurance company tactics that target delays, gaps in care, or incomplete records. After a car crash, it is tempting to focus on your damaged car, repair estimates, and Read More

Summary: Employers often miss the mark when it comes to ADA accommodations. Delays in the interactive process, exaggerated claims of undue hardship, and sweeping job eliminations hurt workers and expose companies to legal risk. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires employer action. Still, there are common ADA myths that may not reflect what the law requires, where employers often fall short, and how Read More

Summary: Remote work has given employers new ways to watch workers through keystroke logging, screen capture tools, and even webcams in home offices. Although employers have broad power to monitor company systems, Michigan and federal law still place limits on secret recording, off-hours monitoring, and intrusions into private spaces. Remote employees who feel surveilled can protect themselves by documenting what is Read More

Summary: Poorly drafted contract clauses are one of the leading causes of litigation for small businesses, often shifting risk in ways owners never intended. Indemnity, non-compete, and termination provisions require precise language to clearly define responsibility, limits, and exit terms. Businesses that prioritize clarity and balance in these clauses reduce the likelihood of disputes and costly legal Read More

Summary: Not every personal injury case gets picked up by a lawyer, even if the injury is real. Missing evidence, low damages, or delayed medical care can all make a case less viable. Taking immediate, well-documented action after an accident gives you the best chance of securing legal representation. After a crash, people assume that hiring an attorney is a straightforward process. A driver caused harm, you Read More

Summary: The Michigan Supreme Court’s decision in Rayford v. American House Roseville I, LLC blocks employers from using hidden contract clauses to limit workers’ time to file civil rights lawsuits. Courts must now evaluate whether such clauses are fair, reasonable, and actually agreed to—not just enforce them automatically. This overturns years of precedent and restores key protections for Michigan employees. It is Read More

Medical errors can change a life in an instant. When they do, legal action is often necessary, but in Michigan, no one simply “files” a malpractice suit overnight. The law demands specific, preliminary steps before a case can proceed. If not met, these legal requirements can end a case before it begins if mishandled. The Notice of Intent to Sue Michigan law requires any person intending to file a medical malpractice Read More

The phone rings. The name on the screen is unfamiliar, but the tone once you answer is polished, professional, and oddly reassuring. It is an insurance adjuster calling “just to get some details.” They might sound like they are trying to help, but that is not their role. Their job is not to help you after an accident. It is to protect their company’s payout. And every word you say gives them something to work Read More
