Why is the Unauthorized Practice of Law dangerous?

When you hire someone who is not licensed, you put your case, your money, and your rights at risk. These individuals often:

  • Give incorrect or incomplete legal advice.
  • Miss deadlines or file improper documents.
  • Lack the ethical standards and oversight attorneys are held to.

The result? Your case could be thrown out, your assets put in jeopardy, or your family left unprotected.

❓ What areas of law are especially vulnerable to UPL scams?

Answer:
According to the Michigan Attorney General and State Bar, some of the most common areas where UPL causes damage include:

  • Family Law: Divorce, custody, or child support cases.
  • Immigration Law: Filing forms incorrectly or missing vital steps.
  • Estate Planning: “Do-it-yourself” wills and trust kits that don’t hold up in court.
  • Real Estate Transactions: Non-lawyers drafting deeds or contracts.

❓ How can I report Unauthorized Practice of Law in Michigan?

Answer:
If you suspect UPL, you can file a complaint with the State Bar of Michigan’s Unauthorized Practice of Law Committee.
👉 UPL Complaint Form

You’ll need to provide:

  • Specific details about what happened.
  • Dates and names of those involved.
  • Any supporting documents (contracts, receipts, canceled checks).
