Text: Plaintiffs, David and Heather Sanders, traveled from their home in northern Michigan to consult with attorney Sam Meklir about the injuries sustained by David after being attacked by two intoxicated men who had consumed alcohol at Chauncey’s Pub and Tumbleweed Saloon, Inc. (defendants). Plaintiffs shared with Meklir pertinent information about the events that occurred December 2, 2014, the night David was assaulted. Plaintiffs looked to Meklir to “get things going” regarding their potential claims. After consulting with Meklir, plaintiffs believed that they had a cause of action. However, because their lawsuit needed to be filed in northern Michigan, Meklir, whose office is in Southfield, Michigan, informed plaintiffs he would not be the attorney who would litigate their claims. Meklir thereafter referred plaintiffs to their current attorney, Matthew Hanley, who practices in Traverse City, Michigan. Also, after consulting with plaintiffs, Meklir sent the following letter to defendant Tumbleweed on February 3, 2015: Please be advised that I represent Mr. David Sanders as a result of injuries he sustained while at the Highway Bar[5] which occurred on December 2, 2014. 3
