    Default Does An LLC Need A Lawyer To Handle An Eviction

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: michgan

    I just started an LLC and have tenants that I need to evict. The courthouse said that I need to have an attorney file the papers. Is this true? Is there anyway around this? If I do need to find an attorney, can anyone help me find one that won't cost me an arm and a leg?

    Thanks

    When you win your eviction case ask judge to rule that former tenant pay your legal expenses.

    It's not as easy as that. Michigan has statutory attorney fees for eviction actions, which are likely significantly below what your attorney would charge.

    Michigan corporations must be represented in court by a lawyer. I do not believe that there is a law that expressly extends that rule to LLC's, but even if not I suspect most courts apply the rule.

    If you want to find local lawyers who handle landlord-tenant cases, take a look at the District Court docket for a few days when eviction actions are scheduled. You'll probably see a few attorney names attached to a large number of cases.
