Hello Jeff,
In Michigan, if you didn't receive discovery as ordered by the judge, you may file a motion to compel. This would force the plaintiff's attorney to provide the documents. If they don't comply, sanctions could be applied. Filing for dismissal could be risky, as you've mentioned the potential for a counter-suit. It's advisable to consult with your lawyer on the best course of action.
