How can I evict a family member who is living in my home in Michigan

Assuming they have no ownership rights, you evict them the same way you would anyone else. File an eviction complaint in the district court stating your reasons for eviction. Visit www.kliszlaw.com for more information. Tim Klisz

Im being sued for a car accident and i only had a permit.(it was my fault)

Unfortunately, all out of state attorneys do not know Michigan's unique no fault auto law. If you are insured, you or your insurer are only responsible for up to $500 in damages called mini-tort. Do not pay this person anything and turn it over to your auto insurer. Tim Klisz kliszlaw.con

I just posted a question about a show cause hearing.

You need to check with the probation department prior to the hearing date. Not likely going to cancel the date, but you can check. If that is your only violation, ou might be ok either way. Having an attorney on board might help.

I have been employed at a company for a year now and I have never been reviewed.

In Michigan, there is no legal right to a raise. If you had a contract that called for it or a binding commitment in a letter or email, that may be different. Otherwise, you are an at will employee that can leave or be fired at will

Payment for online legal advice

If you signed a fee agreement, I would say yes. If not, it doesn't sound like a very good contract case without an explicit agreement to pay. Was court involved? It would probably need more facts to advise you properly. Tim Klisz (313)402-0853 tim@kliszlaw.com

What is sufficient for obtaining an ex-parte PPO?

While I do not disagree with the other two fine answers as to threatening PPOs, there is a lesser know way to obtain a PPO based on stalking. The same elements to create a stalking criminal case can be the valid basis for a PPO. So, if you ask this person to officially stop contacting you and they continue, you can apply for a PPO based on this. It is still up to the Judge, however, so this is not automatic.

I am about to be questions concerning a theft case which resulted in my termination from employment, should I answer questions?

Again, to confirm the answer, you are not afforded an attorney under Michigan law until you are arrested and taken to court for an arraignment. Hire your own attorney is best, helping the police is not. If you cannot hire your own attorney, use the Court Appointed counsel and let the prosecutor prove a possibly difficult case. You give your "side" and a confession is next!

Which lawyer should I go with?

Vast experience only matters if the attorney knows the individual court, judge, probation officer, etc. As a regular attorney in Livonia, I know I have certain knowledge of the individuals in that court, but maybe not a court 40 miles away. The time spent speaking with you and your own comfort level are most important things to consider. Tim Klisz
