Welcome To Nicoletti & Associates, P.L.L.C.

For almost twenty years the firm has specialized in commercial collection litigation. The scope of practice today includes Debtor-Creditor, Bankruptcy Chapters 7 and 13; Replevin (recovery of seized property); Collections; First/Third Party No-Fault Insurance Claims. The practice is headquartered in southeastern Michigan, familiar with reciprocal state requirements and admitted to the U.S. Federal Court in various other states.

The Firm, its senior attorney, Paul Nicoletti, and the other trial attorneys working with the Firm are dedicated and experienced trial lawyers. Many of the cases the Firm takes go to trial in an age when many lawyers who litigate only rarely take cases to trial. The Firm will certainly settle cases when and if the client wishes and the other side is willing, but the Firm and its trial lawyers are trained and experienced in taking complex and difficult cases to trial. The Firm, Mr. Nicoletti and the trial lawyers that work with them have an extraordinary record for winning cases at trial. Results might vary in a given case and not follow the Firm’s historical record of an extraordinarily high percentage of wins. No opponent of a client of the Firm will ever doubt that the Firm will take a case to trial if it cannot be settled to the satisfaction of the client. Mr. Nicoletti and the other trial lawyers working with the Firm truly love trying cases.

The majority of the verdicts obtained by Mr. Nicoletti and the Firm have been multi-million dollar verdicts most of them in complex cases taking weeks or a month or more to try. The Firm and Mr. Nicoletti have tried cases throughout Michigan and the firm has also tried cases in other states using local counsel to assist the Firm there.

The Firm’s and Mr. Nicoletti’s verdicts and accomplishments have been reported in major news media including the CNN, The New York Times, The Detroit News, and the Oakland Press, as well as other news media in and outside Michigan.

The firm also specializes in challenging the foreclosure by advertisement process.  In Michigan the process is mandated by MCL §600.3201.  By challenging the mortgage foreclosure process, this firm has obtained numerous rulings so far, that have established that the Sheriff's Sales were not conducted in accordance with applicable Michigan laws.

Williams v. Wayne County Sheriff's Department et al

Case Number: 2:09-cv-14328

 

Since the mortgage foreclosure sales are illegal, the sales can be attacked under 11 U.S.C §1322 or in the Michigan State Courts.  Class Action participants are currently being interviewed to determine if they qualify as potential participants. The current participants are those that have had Sheriff's Sales conducted by:

  • Wayne County Deputy Sheriff - Adrienne Sanders from January 5, 2005 through December 31, 2007

  • Wayne County Deputy Sheriff - Terri D. Sims from January 5, 2005 through December 31, 2007

  • Wayne County Deputy Sheriff - Marshun Brooks from January 5, 2005 through December 31, 2007

  • Wayne County Deputy Sheriff - Yolanda Diaz (Any sale performed by her)

Caution:  The above criteria is subject to change based upon the review of discovery documents obtained in the Class Action Suit.  Currently it appears that the criteria will be expanded over and above what is set forth above.
