COLLECTION ACTION AGAINST FORMER MICHIGAN RESIDENT HALTED

A former Jackson, Michigan resident now living out-of-state found our law firm online and contacted us for legal help. He was sued in Jackson County Court based on a foreign judgment, and the collection law firm filed a garnishment requiring his employer to withhold a portion of his paycheck. The only problem - neither the Defendant nor the employer had a current connection to the State of Michigan. Attorney Brad A. Brelinski stepped right in and filed an objection to the garnishment. At the hearing on the objection to garnishment, the collection attorney tried to convince the judge that the garnishment should continue, which would have been financially devastating for our client. Instead, Mr. Brelinski successfully argued that the objections were valid, and the judge ultimately dismissed the garnishment and ordered that all funds be returned to our client.
