Can the other side bring a lawyer to small claims court in Michigan?
Answered for: Michigan
An attorney at law, except on the attorney's own behalf, a collection agency or agent or employee of a collection agency, or a person other than the plaintiff and defendant, except as is otherwise provided in this chapter, shall not take part in the filing, prosecution, or defense of litigation in the small claims division.
This is the provision Michigan uses on attorneys in small claims. The words above are the section itself.
This answer is true in Michigan and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Michigan.
