In what way? In the awards given? Or in finding conduct negligent? I lived a long time in a country where there is a totally different law of negligence, where personal responsibility is stressed much more than here. I had some difficulties adjusting to American thinking again. But I...

The law says: "is convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude committed within five years" (Art 237 INA) So it is the date when the crime was committed that counts

Hm, this is an issue for your attorney. I hope you have one? He would have to look at the contract if any penalties are specified in it. He also would look at the seller's conduct, if it can be interpreted that he waived the condition of timeliness. Third he would look if time is of the...

It could well be, but it would need to be looked at closely. One thing to look at would be statute of limitations issues, here in NY for example a defamation suit must be brought within one year. I don't know how the law in Nevada is. Then you would need proof. You would also want to show...

It seems you are in Britain, so I have no idea about British law. But since American and British tort law have the same roots, I would assume that it does not matter at all where the "accident" happened, on public or on private ground. The idea is that he who is negligent and causes damage has...

Well well, like it or not, the answers to your questions are pretty easy to give: Yes, your parents can determine where you live and who you see. That is the idea of being a "minor", as the law says. And yes, your boyfriend probably did commit statutory rape. And he can get into far more...

I can very much understand your position, because I myself for many years have worked in Christian youth groups and what seemed harmless then nowadays might raise concerns. Times have changed. As a father of a daughter I myself would see things differently now. Yet, it is important not to...

Now, first of all, how old are you now? Things are depending on your state's law, but generally minors can "disaffirm" a contract, that is void the contract by expressing this disaffirmation to the other party. However, you cannot wait forever doing this. It has to be done within a...

look at the other threads involving theft and immigration here, I have posted it about 100 times. The one misdemeanor exception

yes, legally you probably would not be obligated to pay. However, this is only because you probably have a defense to the formation of the contract, which is that it was not in writing. If that requirement would not exist, you would be breaching the contract. That is why I think it would be...

well, this probably was an inventory search, but let your attorney check this out

Somewhat less than 50,000 green cards are given out, where of course a winner gets them for the whole family, so I would assume may be 20,000 winners? You probably can find the statistics somewhere online

Yes, as you know we cannot give specific legal advise here. One would have to look into the exact details, the wording, the positions of the people involved etc. But it looks as if there is some legal issue. An attorney then would have to evaluate the whole case. Privileges mean that under...

not really, there are only two ways: settle with the city or go to court

The issue here is if you in fact have paid rent for the garage. The way you write it they offered you to stay in the unit and pay rent for it. If no garage was mentioned and they don't come normally with the units, you have no contract to rent the garage.

that looks like a case for bankruptcy

They can ask you any question they want. But you don't have to answer. On the other hand, if you lie to them, you can get into trouble.

it depends on your contract with the company. Usually they require a certain minimum payment every month. If that doesn't come, they can go for the full payment. Don't you have any paperwork on this?

without the details it is hard to say, but it sounds very much like you have a defamation case here. You would have to look at the exact statement and determine if the company was negligent and if they had any privileges. If the statement was defamatory, which it probably was if it alleged...

There might be some issues here. It depends on several details you should discuss with your defense lawyer. The issues are: where were you when the search happened. Where was the car going to be towed to? Who actually did perform the search, the cop(s) or the wrecker guys. There are two...
