Legal Question in Business Law in Michigan

Re: Breach of Contract

First, you have to determine if there is jurisdiction here in Virginia. For example, if the company reached out to you in Virginia or has some presence in Virginia, you may be able to sue them here in Virginia, believe it or not. However, this is a difficult question. It depends on the facts, and how much the MI company reached out to you in Virginia, instead of the other way around.

If Virginia's courts would not have jurisdiction, then you would have to contact an attorney in Michigan. You do not have to be there to file a lawsuit there. An attorney can do it for you there. The only time you would need to show up there would be to testify in a trial, if any.

Re: Breach of Contract

There may be a jurisdiction problem. Generally, you must sue a person in the jurisdiction they reside in. You may be able to get jurisdiction locally arguing that the contract was signed here in Michigan. For more info, please contact my office at (248)851-3171.
