Yes, if you don't show up a warrant for your arrest will be issued. How much you get depends on your record and the laws in GA but jail time is pretty unlikely.

Let me answer your last question first: the problem in many domestic violence cases is this: Eduardo beats up Ana. The police come, Eduardo gets arrested, posts bail. He comes home and tels Ana: if you testify against me I will kill you. Go and tell them to drop the charges. Ana very much...

don't worry and good luck!

Yes, Wisconsin applies the exception to spousal privilege. Here is the law: Wis. Stat. §905.05(1): (1) General rule of privilege. A person has a privilege to prevent the person's spouse or former spouse from testifying against the person as to any private communication by one to the other...

1. Yes, that is the same, the case will not go forward for now. But there is a little difference in the nuance, as you can see: if charges are being "dropped", the prosecutor has decided it does not make sense to charge. If teh case has been dismissed, this indicates it was against the...

The bad news is: this is considered to be a crime of moral turpitude. Conviction of a crime of moral turpitude can make you deportable or inadmissible so you need to be very careful in your next steps. Since you say that the crime is only a misdemeanor (if it is not even only an infraction)...

To really give you a valid answer one would have to look at the contract and at what has been done so far and what needs to be done. Basically the law is this: Even if no time for completion is set in the contract, the law assumes it has to be done within a "reasonable" time. What is...

I am not sure which part of section 245 you refer to, but 245 covers adjustment of status. To adjust a status you must have qualified for the new statuts first. Example: You are a student here. You marry an American citizen. Because of that you can become a legal permanent resident. The...

There is no easy fix in such a situation, because anything you do will probably stoke the fires. But the law does not leave you helpless: If the situation is that bad, may be you have to roll out the big guns: Install or get a video camera and record what is going on on your property. If...

I always wondered how these guys get away with it. You probably would be able to sue them for invasion of privacy, trespass and may be other things. But you should have an attorney doing that for you. Here is an interesting article about this topic...

A H-4 holder is not allowed to engage in work of any kind.

Well, he would need to qualify for a legal permanent residency. He cannot just stay after finishing his studies. There are basically only two ways to qualify: either by family ties, or in other words, if he would marry an American citizen, or: by having a qualifying job. To get an...

This of course could be an endless thread. Like so often in life things are more complicated than it looks like. I cannot answer this question summarily. I have seen cases where the law reacted much too strongly, where something very minor had devastating consequences on an offender who was...

First of all we would have to know in which state this all happened. Usually in criminal cases there is a so called spousal privilege, meaning that a spouse cannot be compelled to testify against another. But some states have changed the law in domestic violence cases. In a situation...

Basically it is as you said: a relatively routine case. Of course, every case is special to the people who are involved in it and it can easily become special for everyone else, so it is never to be underestimated. If the facts are as you said it looks very much like the driver who rearended...

I assume you are talking about a Canadian form. Go here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM1444E.PDF

Well, mail fraud is a very broad concept, basically any fraudulent activity which involves use of the mail. This is the federal statute: (Title 18, U.S. Code, §§ 1341, 1342, 1346 Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or...

1. It depends on what kind of information was posted and to whom it was made available. 2. It depends on what this is all about. You could at least file administrative complaints.

Most probably not, because law enforcement operates under a broad immunity. Unless you can show that your civil rights were violated you probably have no case. And being arrested for alleged drunken driving which in the end could not be proven usually does not qualify as such a violation. Of...

One would have to read the contract to know what exactly the builder was supposed to do and if he breached. It looks like he wants to repudiate the whole contract, but that is not so easy. She should contact an attorney, because she probably will need one anyway to assert her claims. From what I...
