Exercising your Miranda rights

On behalf of Gormley and Johnson Law Offices, PLC | Nov 4, 2019 | Uncategorized

Expressing your health care wishes if you become incapacitated

On behalf of Gormley and Johnson Law Offices, PLC | Nov 4, 2019 | Uncategorized

Seeking an easement for private property access

On behalf of Gormley and Johnson Law Offices, PLC | Nov 4, 2019 | Uncategorized

Can you travel internationally with children post-divorce?

On behalf of Gormley and Johnson Law Offices, PLC | Nov 4, 2019 | Uncategorized

On behalf of Gormley and Johnson Law Offices, PLC | Nov 4, 2019 | Uncategorized

A person may seek a protective order against another individual for several reasons. Most commonly, Michigan courts award protective injunctions in cases of domestic violence. However, physical assault does not have to occur for one person to feel threatened by...

The enforceability of no-contest clauses in Michigan

On behalf of Gormley and Johnson Law Offices, PLC | Nov 4, 2019 | Uncategorized

When a beneficiary named in a will believes that all or a part of a will is invalid, he or she generally has the right to file a will contest. The courts will then use their discretion to decide whether to hear the dispute or not. However, beneficiaries lose this...

Was your arrest legal?

On behalf of Gormley and Johnson Law Offices, PLC | Nov 4, 2019 | Uncategorized
