Michigan Charging Lien Removal Motion
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
USA lawyer-clear, persuasive motion under Michigan law is required to strike my former attorney’s charging lien. The sole ground is excessive billing: time entries and costs were recorded for work that was never performed, well beyond what we agreed, in direct violation of professional responsibility standards and the Michigan Court Rules.
The finished package must:
• Set out the factual background, detailing the improper invoices and the gap between billed work and actual services.
• Cite all controlling Michigan authorities on attorney charging liens, including MCR 8.121 and relevant case law.
• Argue for removal of the lien and, if appropriate, fee disgorgement or sanctions.
• Include a supporting brief, proposed order, and certificate of service formatted for Michigan circuit court filing.
Word choice and structure should match local practice; pinpoint citations and accurate record references are essential for acceptance by the court clerk and to withstand any objection.
