FAQs:

What does a lawyer charge?

The Macomb Bar does not set any minimum or maximum fees for lawyers.   Lawyers set their own fees based on a number of factors.  We always recommend that you ask about  fees and acceptable methods of payment during the initial consultation

 

What if I can’t afford a lawyer?

Virtually everyone will need to hire a lawyer at some point in their lifetime.  Professional legal services are rarely planned for, but are often necessary.  If you are low-income or in poverty, you may qualify for free legal services through legal aid, or you may have a dispute that can be resolved with the assistance of other agencies.  (see Legal Service Agencies.)

 

I have a complaint about the lawyer I hired. Do I call the Macomb Bar?

We do not handle complaints.  That is the responsibility of the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission.

 

I have a lawyer, but want a different one. What do I do?

Once you have entered into an agreement with a lawyer, no other lawyer can talk with you about the legal matter.  If you no longer want the lawyer representing you, terminate the relationship by sending them a certified letter.  Once you receive confirmation of receipt from the Post Office, you may hire another lawyer.

 

Can I get a referral for another person?

We cannot give out third-party referrals.  We can only speak with the client or someone who has a valid Power of Attorney for the client.
