I’m glad I checked out this free Michigan legal blog! You guys are really thorough in answering questions! It seems like you do everything based on your www.AllLegalMatters.com website and from this blog I know why! You seem to know the answer to every question people ask.

Are other lawyers jealous you know so much more than them lol! I bet they are, haters!

Love you guys

I have known the lawyers at CTZ for along time. Paul Zalewski is one of the most competent and kind lawyers I know. I refer everyone I know that is in need of legal servies to him. When you’re forced with making such an important decision about your representation in a court of law, make sure you pick someone who has your best interest in mind. That’s why I refer everyone I know to CTZ.

Your firm was recommended by a friend and as I look through all the posts, I can see why everyone thinks so highly of you guys!!! I was wondering if my employer is following the minimum wage laws in Michigan. I have a part time job with this company and I am an employee, not a 1099 contract worker. My job is primarily tip based and I was wondering how the Michigan minimum wage laws work regarding tips? Some locations I work at I get an hourly rate plus tips and some are just tips. If the tips for the night do not average out to the minimum hourly wage, what is supposed to happen? I asked the employer and he said “we get what we get” and I think he is doing something wrong. I am wondering if I am getting cheated. Also, at some locations, my employer wants a portion of our tips and I don’t think that is right. Can he take part of my tips when I am the one doing the work? I heard about a Starbucks case not too long ago where Starbucks got fined a huge amount for taking a part of employees tips. I’m wondering if Michigan allows employers to take a portion of tips? It is hard enough to find a job in this area and I feel like my employer takes advantage of his employees because we need jobs. Thanks for your help.

I have a few cedit cards that I have not paid in a long time and now some filed lawsuits and have judgments against me. I don’t make enough to even support myself but what little I make is now being garnished at my work by these credit card companies that filed ganishments against my wages in Michigan…can bankuptcy stop this? How does that work? What about other lawsuits that I know are just around the corner?

Can one of your Michigan bankruptcy law attorneys help me stop these garnishments and lawsuits???

I need help.

I was recently laid off permenantly from an automotive manufacturing company in Oakland County Michigan after working there for 9 years. I was a female in a mostly male office environment, and they didn’t do anything sexist or anything, but I am wondering if they are just worried about being sued because they talked perverted a lot, not towards me but just in general. Anyway they have offered me a decent severence package with a nice payment and the continuation of their portion of payment for my health care for a few more months, but I have to sign this contract severance agreement that’s like 5 pages long or they say I won’t get these benefits and they have no obligation to pay me if I don’t sign. It’s a non-union shop and I was a full time salary worker. I guess I just want to know what my rights are? Don’t they have to give me a severence agreement? What happens if I don’t sign? What happens if I do sign? I am not a lawyer and have no idea what all this language means?

Which leads me to my other question… I am a single mom with 1 4 year old daughter and now that I am out of a job there is no way I can keep up with my mortgage and bills unless something happens quick. If I file bankruptcy do I lose my house? What happens to my bills, my 401 k, my credit? I’m sorry if I sound stupid but this is all foreign to me I have always worked and been able to pay my bills, but in my industry and with this economy in Michigan I really don’t see finding another job in manufacturing anytime soon. I’m just scared and don’t know what to do

My son was arrested for felony possession of analogues (Vicodin) and misdemeanor possession of marijuana and we need help. He is on probation for drunk driving (pled down to operating while visibly impaired OWVI) in Warren 37th district court.

Can you help my son? He has never been arrested other than his previous drunk driving in Warren Michigan, and he is in school, and I don’t want this to ruin his life!

Can the Michigan criminal defense attorneys at CTZ Law help with this drug charge in Eastpointe Michigan, or is my son’s life ruined???

Please let me know!!!

I am a real estate agent and have been renting space in this office complex in Mt Clemens, Michigan from the guys who own the building for the last 2 years…suddenly we are not getting along and I have a feeling I may be kicked out soon! Need a Michigan civil / landlord-tenant attorney to advise me on my rights. I don’t have a written lease agreement, but I have been paying rent every month. How much notice do they have to give me before I get evicted? What if I refuse to leave? I’m freaking out because I have nothing lined up to move in to if they evict me, no place to go, and I need to know how much time I have in Michigan for an eviction proceeding before they can legally boot me out.

Okayy, dont laugh guys, but how long do points stay on your driving record??? I have a speeding ticket in Macomb Township and a red light ticket in Troy both from about 2-3 years ago and someone told me they only stay on for 2 years but my insurance agent says its still on my driving record with the state of michigan so what’s the right answer??? im getting killed here with my insurance i can barely afford to drive my car!!!

Thanx

Dear CTZ Law attorneys at  www.alllegalmatters.com

My house is in foreclosure, my wife only makes 30K a year, our savings is amost gone and my 401k is hit up…I’m not sure how this works so please let me know if Bankruptcy will stop this foreclosure until I hopefully find a job?

Also, will my 401k money be protected when filing bankruptcy?

Thank you for your help www.alllegalmatters.com

need an attorney for fight bullshit charge in Detroit…i was leaving club with friends and messing around with girl we see outside and it was cop who arrested me of solicitation prostitute tickets says ‘offer to engage’ saying I try to get her to have sex with me for money… They take my car and made me buy back now i have to go to court i want to fight because i did nothing wrong but i know police will lie what can you do to help me…

I just found out that my wife had an affair and that she is pregnant. I have had a vasectomy but no testing has been done for paternity. My wife and I are all but certain that this child is not mine. She has broken off the relationship and is back with me, but the possible biological father thinks that he should have some rights to the child. All I want is to raise this child as my own and for my other three kids not to have any idea that the child is anything but their full brother or sister. Does this man have any rights to this child if my wife and I deny him involvement? My wife and I were living in the same house the whole time this affair occurred.

To the Clinton Township attorneys at www.alllegalmatters.com :

Earlier this year I received a 10 over speeding ticket in Clinton Township, Michigan, which is close to your attorneys in Macomb County I see.   At the time, I just decided to pay the ticket and accept the points. Now, I have changed my mind. Is there any way that you would be able to take care of that traffic ticket for me even though the ticket is old? I don’t want the points on my record and I did not realize that the points would raise my insurance so much. Thank you for your time.

Quick question about a traffic ticket in Sterling Heights for one of the attorneys at alllegalmatters.com / CTZ Law . . . is there someplace I can reference to see how many points are associated with certain traffic tickets and offenses?  Just curious.

Also, I did something stupid and just paid a speeding ticket I got about a month ago in Sterling Heights, Michigan, now I received notice from the Michigan Secretary of State about a driver’s responsibility fee . . . is is too late to fight this ticket???  How many more fees are they gonna hit me with?

Thanks guys.

To one of the attorneys at ALLLEGALMATTERS.COM who knows drunk driving owi law and driver’s license law, please help!

I have just recently been sentenced on my second offense owi drunk driving in 41-B Court Clinton Township.  My attorney from [attorney's name deleted by Adminstrator] office in Clinton  Township didn’t do a goddamn thing for me, even though they said they had a ton of “connections” in that court, but that’s a different story.

My last offense was on July 30, 2002 and I was just recently sentenced.  One of the attorneys who represented me at the sentencing said my Michigan Driver’s license will be suspended for a year and then I can get it back, but my friend told me I don’t automatically get it back because he went through the same thing.

Can you please tell me how this works?  I feel like I am getting screwed!

Thanks!

To the attorneys at www.AllLegalMatters.com / CTZ Law:

I am an auto worker for Chrysler and I just found out today I am losing my job, like everyone else in Michigan. I have about $18,000.00 in credit card debt, about $2,000.00 in medical bills, and my wife doesn’t work. We have a house in Macomb Township that used to have about $30,000.00 in equity in it, but honestly I don’t think I could even sell it for what we owe right now in this economy, and I doubt it would even appraise that high anymore.

My wife and I have been talking about divorce for a year now and it looks like we will be getting divorced. We have 2 kids, 12 and 10 years old. Our savings is pretty much tapped out, my 401K has taken big losses over the past couple years, and we are broke!

My friends have told me it’s time to file Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, and now that I have lost my job I am scrambling to figure out what to do because there is no work in this state. I have no idea what’s involved in bankruptcy and what will happen to me and my wife if we file. Should I file bankruptcy myself or should my wife file too? She has some debt too, but even if we don’t get divorced there is no way we will be able to afford this house anymore and both of our names are on the mortgage together so I am afraid of foreclosure.

Should I wait until I get divorced and file alone? I don’t know if it matters but I have heard different things from my friends telling me to file for bankruptcy and get divorced after and someone else just told me that’s not a good idea. I need help really bad. I have too much debt, no job, and I don’t know what to do.
