Why Local Counsel Matters in Richmond
Practicing law in Michigan. Legal matters in Michigan are governed by state-specific rules of civil and criminal procedure, statutes of limitations, and substantive law. Cases originating in Richmond are typically filed in the local municipal court or the appropriate Michigan state district court, depending on subject matter and amount in controversy.
