The good news is, disorderly conduct usually is not a crime of moral turpitude and therefore should not be a problem for your green card as long as your record is otherwise clean.

It depends on what kind of warrant, if any, the officers had and some other information. Have you been charged with anything in connection with this incident?

You want to get out of there asap. You can very easily be dragged into this if there is an inverstigation or a raid or something. In the worst case scenario you could end up being charged as an accomplice. And never trust your buddies to tell the cops that you had nothing to do with it! Usually...

In principle yes. If someone causes criminal proceedings to be launched against you without having probable cause and with an intent that goes beyond serving justice (for example an intent to harass you) and you have been found not guilty, then you can sue that person. See here...

it depends on where this happened, usually MIP is a violation and will lead to a fine

It depends on the law in your state. A subpoena usually can be served by either a sheriff, a marshal or whatever name a court officer in your jurisdiction has, but often it also can be served by civilians, so called "process servers", sometimes it actually can be served by anyone except a member...

always listen to your lawyer. Never sign anything you don't want to sign, never ever. Nobody can force you to sign anything.

I only read this now, but notify your lawyer asap of any warrants. Ask to see the warrant before you consent to anything. Try to have your attorney to find out what exactly the warrant says.

The point is, that the idea of a fiancee visa is to wait OUTSIDE of the US until one is being given the visa. She can get into deep problems.

oh oh, you seem only to hint at the problems here. If you did not do this, the last thing you should do is plead guilty. You wil lhave a criminal record then which can ruin later careers. Theft can have dire consequences under immigration law, making one even deportable. The INS will be...

I have seen the strangest things but never heard of something like this before. Now, you have to understand the law on this: -The law is basically concerned with finding a remedy for damage people suffered because of an unlawful act of others. So to sue someone, in most cases you need to...

Under the law you are removable if convicted for a crime of moral turpitude (to which theft belongs) which can be punished by one year or more in jail. Now, most thefts are misdemeanors and most misdemeanors are punishable by up to one year in jail. And there is the little but grave problem...

Hm, that sounds interesting. It is illegal to live together when not married? I can't imagine that NC still has such a valid law, but if it would, then a contract based on exactly this, living together illegally, actually would be void. But try to find out first if there really is such a law and...

without going into the details of copyright law the basic answer to all your questions is "no", you cannot use any products to which another has a copyright. Though there are very narrow exceptions which might be available to you, I would recommend not to bother with it, because you easily end...

@ cmlzip, it is really interesting to read that you always know so much about search and arrest issues. Especially that for some reason your knowledge always is very different to the answers that other people post who often correctly describe the law. May be you have never heard of the...

Hm, I am happy to see someone take on paypal which really does not belong to my favorite companies, but as lawyer said above: a lawsuit will require a lot of stamina here. You might have a case, but in the end it might cost you a lot more to pursue this than you will gain, while barely making a...

Ah, now I see the picture. Well, you probably are in a good position, but not an unassailable one. Under most states' law or statutes a surviving co-owner of a joint account who was not the depositor (not the one who put the money into the account) is presumed to have the right to withdraw...

You are pretty confusing here. First, what do you want to achieve? Get the money or fight the opening of the account? A signature made under duress will be held void by a court, but then what? If you want the money that is in the account you better not fight the legality of your...

I really love it when people display such a great attitude here. Those who "demand" answers here should think of consulting an attorney and pay the usual $ 300/hr fee.

You need evidence that you in fact intended to be married and live as husband and wife. Usually that means that people live together, but you seem to have a reasonable explanation why you don't. You would then need good other evidence that you intend to be a "couple", like a shared bank account...
