If a guy is on probation, in Oakland County, for a DUI, then tests bad for marijuana, what is likely to happen

If this is your first "dirty urine," discuss the matter with the lawyer you had for the original charge and with your probation officer. The probable result will be some additional fines, al lengthening of your probation, and some drug treatment if you haven't had any already. The usual OWI probation conditions include controlled substances as well as alcohol, as you have now learned. (If your friend has a medical marijuana card, he should show it to the probation officer or the lawyer and...

A mechanic says I didn't pay a bill 3 years ago and is threatening to sue me. I can't find my receipt. Can he take me to court

Yes, he can. He can use small claims court, where neither of you is allowed an attorney and you will be able to give your side of the story to the magistrate before he makes a decision as to how much you actually owe -- if any. He will have to prove that the transaction actually occurred, which will be difficult.

I rent rooms in my home for the past 12 years to make ends meet. I am 62. My current tennent is 45 and I am about 99 percent

The police do not need proof from you, they will perform an investigation and get that proof themselves. Neither do you need a reason to evict your tenant on 30 days notice, merely written notice that you no longer desire to rent to her.

I am handicapped/soc sec disability.If I do not do eithr,can they just take my car? evn tho I am paying?

You do not say how long ago you purchased the car or how much you owe on the car in dollars. Neither do you say if you have considered bankruptcy. There is a procedure in bankruptcy court called "redemption" where you pay the credit union the blue book value of the car (I know at least one bank who will lend that sum to you) and wipe out ALL loans with the credit union. Based on your other answers, you may be eligible for Chapter 7, which would actually improve your credit standing with...

If I file Chapt. 7 bankruptcy in Michigan can I keep a building that is zoned commercial although it is also my home (apt).

The zoning status of a building is of no interest to the bankruptcy court. If you live there and the building is worth less than $20,200 plus the mortgage balance, you may keep it in a Chapter 7. You have a bigger problem with the rental properties that are not your residence; you would probably lose them all. I suggest you contact a local bankruptcy specialist.

Do I need representation for a summons I received about a debt collection?

I assume that either you or the debt relief agency have filed a written answer with the court, with copy to the credit card company's law firm. Failure to file an answer constitutes an admission that you owe the debt and that all the credit card company's accounting figures are correct. If you have, you should appear in court in person, with an attorney if necessary. If the agency will not supply a lawyer, find one yourself. The company will likely propose a settlement around the agency;...
