DEFENSE OF COMMERCIAL LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY FORMER BUSINESS PARTNER AGAINST MANUFACTURING COMPANY IN JACKSON COUNTY

Our law firm was contacted by an out-of-state attorney and corporate counsel for a large, multi-state manufacturing company with a local plant in Jackson, Michigan. Our attorneys accepted the referral and defended a multi-count complaint in Jackson County Circuit Court in a commercial lease dispute involving a former owner and executive. After the discovery phase, the opposing party moved for summary disposition, which was denied by the business court judge in its entirety. Based on comments made by the judge at the hearing, and our strong defense led by lawyer Brad A. Brelinski, the opposing party voluntarily dismissed its case with prejudice at no cost to our client. The plaintiff-landlord originally sought claims that would have totaled in excess of $325,000.
