      <description><![CDATA[Thank you for your interest in my website.  Unfortunately I will be unable to respond to comments and questions.  In addition to my solo private practice, I have been writing a book for the last couple years.  In order to finalize the book and give attention to my practice, I must narrow my field of thought and take a sabbatical.  I hope that you find some use of the website and I look forward to jumping back in to provide free legal advice in the future.    ]]></description>

"What if you work for a retail cellular company and they upcharge $40.00 dollars on top of the phone price. Just because you are an upgrade and not a new line. But they do not have this listed on the tag. Is this also breaking the Michigan Retail Law?"]]></description>
