What is the Unauthorized Practice of Law in Michigan?

The Unauthorized Practice of Law (UPL) happens when someone who is not a licensed attorney performs legal services or makes legal decisions on behalf of another person. In Michigan, this is against the law and can seriously harm unsuspecting individuals.

Examples of UPL include:

  • A non-lawyer drafting legal documents or contracts for others.
  • “Legal advisors” or companies giving legal opinions without being licensed.
  • Unlicensed individuals representing someone in court.

➡️ The State Bar of Michigan actively warns the public to be cautious of unlicensed individuals who may advertise quick fixes for complex legal problems. Learn more about consumer alerts here: State Bar of Michigan – Unauthorized Practice of Law
