    Consumer discrimination by local business

    I guess it is time to talk to the management. I assume you have already paid for the repairs, so they have no right at all to keep your clock. Advise them that you will pick up your property at a certain time and that if the property is not being handed over you will sue for conversion and...

    K Visa Another marriage question

    This is a tricky problem, because the law does not really have provisions for your case. All the known visa like K-1, K-3 and the Green Card assume that the US citizen's foreign spouse will want to live in the U.S. The tourist visa (B-1 B-2 and Visa Waiver) on the other hand assume that you...

    Tourist Visa Friend from the philippines wants to visit

    I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your information is wrong. A Philippine citizen needs a Visa to enter the United States, so she has to apply for one in the American consulate in her home country. There is no way legally to enter the country without a visa.

    Criminal Law question re 18 months for misdemeanors

    Depends on what the convictions were for and what the immigration status was. If the person has been legally in the country and the convictions were for crimes of moral turpitude probably nothing can be done.

    photos online

    this is one of those cases which courts would love to throw out right away. For the sake of family peace you probably should take them down. Legally, the rights to pics usually are with the person who owns them (took them) or the person who is in them, so in your case not with you. So under...

    Overstay, Illegal Status I 130 approved but i can't changed my status

    Hm, there might be several problems. If you are an alien married to another alien who is a legal permanent resident (green card holder) you can apply for that same status, but you have to wait until a visa number is available. Currently there is a backlog in applications which lasts about 5...

    Canadian Tourist In North Carolina Speeding Ticket (Infraction)

    An infraction sometimes also is called a "violation" is the least serious form of a "crime", actually some purists even don't count it as a crime but call it a civil matter. It does not lead to a criminal record, does not lead to jail time. Usually they are disposed off with a fine. Most...

    Illegal traffic stop and police threats

    I am sorry to hear what happened. Before I went to law school I worked for a couple of years as a police officer and later as supervisor in a department of almost 40,000 men and women. I have seen this happen, too. Cops are in a high stress job and totally resent any "civilian" trying to give...

    "speed contest" - please help!

    It depends on the law in your state how an incident is treated, either as a violation or as a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor is a much more serious crime than an infraction or a violation, in fact, it is a crime and if convicted for it, one has a criminal record. Speed Contest charges...

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant False arrest/report

    As your attorney could tell you, you can sue her in civil court. You might have a case for "malicious prosecution", "defamation" and who knows what else. The bigger problem of course is, if it is worth the effort. If she doesn't have any money that you could collect, you will end up paying...

    Parking Lot Collision

    The law basically says this: If both parties are negligent, they will have to bear that portion of damage, that corresponds with the portion of their fault. Or in other words: Joe drives along Highway with 70 mph though there is a 55 mph legal limit. Jill drives on the same highway in the...

    Is it libel if it's true?

    While truth is a defense in a libel case, publishing photos and facts of the private life of a person still can be an unlawful invasion of privacy and therefore expose the person who publishes it to liability.

    Arrest, Search, Seizure, Warrant Illegal Search & Seizure?

    well, if you look at it from another perspective you will say: had I not let my drunk boyfriend drive... You are right, in some states it is a crime to allow a person who is drunk to drive your car, regardless of your own intoxication. So if that is the case in NJ, you would be rightfully...
