A Michigan attorney’s years-long fight against what he calls an unconstitutional tax foreclosure system will soon reach the highest court in the nation. The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case led by attorney Philip Ellison, who argues that Michigan counties have been wrongfully taking homeowners’ equity after foreclosures for unpaid property taxes.
“This is something I’ve been working on for nine years,” Ellison said in an interview. “My client’s been with me nine years. And we’re going to go argue that the Michigan tax foreclosure system is unconstitutional.”ellison1
