Shelby, MI Personal Injury Law Firms & Lawyers

My preliminary opinion is that it would be doubtful you would get this jail time under the situation presented. Which you should really do is to engage an attorney to defend yourself and hopefully have the charge of reckless driving reduced. Reckless driving is a misdemeanor and therefore reportable on many employment application and into the future. I would strongly suggest you call my offices with all the details and an appointment or engage in other attorney to act in your defense.

You don't say how much you paid, and whether you have proof that the work done was poorly done, or whether your mouth simply presents additional problems not covered by the payments you made. If the dollar amount paid is less than $5000, you can file a small claims case in the District court where the dentist practices, and need no attorney; none are allowed in small claims. If the dentist can show that the problems result from causes other that sub-standard work on his part, he will prevail. If not, you probably will. If the amount paid exceeded $5000, and if you have proof the work was sub-standard (opinion of another dentist retained to correct the poor work, for example), you should contact a lawyer.
