E-Mail Messaging with Office

When replying to an email, please reply ALL, not just REPLY. This is to ensure the right people see the email. ALSO, do not just send emails to the email address that someone in our office has sent you an email in the past. You should consult with the office for the proper email address, and you should place that email address in your address book.

It is also important that you only send emails from email addresses we have on file. If you use more than one, make sure we have all the email addresses you may use.

When it comes to the subject, please Reply ALL when responding, and when sending any other email, make sure you place in the subject the proper “MatterID” that is a five-digit number together with a dash (-) and Alpha letters.


As a reminder, we can’t use photos of documents. Assume any photos of a document can NOT be used for something the judge will be able to see. When it comes to documents, the only acceptable format for a document is a PDF. We are aware that many people are trying to use an APP to convert a photo to a PDF, and most of the time, this will not work as the Michigan Court Rules have certain restrictions when providing documents that the PHOTO to PDF APPS to not create the right-sized documents. If providing a document, you will also need to use the client PORTAL, Do not send documents by emailing our office these documents.  In most cases the documents will need to be scanned and sent via our portal.
