Abood Law Firm Prevails Against Livingston County

The Abood Law Firm successfully prosecuted a violation of the Freedom of Information Act against Livingston County on behalf of the Nichols Law Firm. Specifically, the Nichols Law Firm filed a FOIA request for information related to a client’s case who was charged with OWI. The County failed to properly or timely respond pursuant to statute. ALF filed a Complaint in Ingham County claiming the County failed to timely respond and failed to timely produce the documents. The County denied the allegations and filed a Motion for Summary Disposition asserting that it had complied with the statute. The Court not only denied the motion but ruled that ALF”s client was entitled to summary disposition and entitled to attorney fees and costs.
