Rude Awakening from MSU Police Leads to Constitutional Violation

A late night "knock and talk" attempt by MSU Police Department officers was a violation of the constitutional rights of a recent Nichols Law Firm client. Under recent case law, East Lansing attorney Mike Nichols successfully argued that the officers abused their authority when they entered a dorm room using "questionable" consent. When in doubt, the courts ask a simple question when deciding if the time of day is appropriate for officers to stop by - "Would it be reasonable for a Girl Scout to go door to door selling cookies at this hour?"

Know your rights and exercise them when appropriate. Respectfully refuse any questioning until you have your attorney present. For a review of your case call the legal team on the leading edge of the law - call the Nichols Law Firm today at (517) 432-9000.

Additionally, we are in the beginning stages of planning a total “re-imaging” of our firm online and I’m hoping you can give me some information about how WebAscender could fit in to our plans. We want to modernize our presence online with everything from our website to social media.

We want to explore a redesign of our webpage specifically and it would be helpful If you would be able to give me a breakdown of some options that we can refer to in that area.
