    Schiavo Case -- What do you think?

    It is a tough one. I don't envy any judge who has to deal with this. The first problem in my opinion is the unreliability of medical expert evidence. I have not looked into each and every detail in this case, but one of the basic elements here seems to be if this lady is in a totally vegetative...

    Criminal Law Another Criminal Question

    No problem, the term "moral turpitude" is pretty confusing. Your problem is, that theft crimes are defined as crimes of moral turpitude. So you need to be sure that you only have one and not more convictions for any theft crimes. There also are some other crimes defined as moral turpitude...

    Fence ownership

    well, first of all look where exactly it is standing. If it is totally on your property, it would indicate that you might own it, if it is totally on the neighbor's they might. Then, what do the neighbors say? Who erected it? The builders of the house, the developer or who? This is the kind...

    Criminal Law Convicted or not?

    Your attorney is right, the issue of what is a "conviction" under immigration law is pretty murky since states have invented many alternative dispositions. Usually it is interpreted this way: whenever a judge imposes something on you that you would not otherwise be obliged to do, like pay a...

    it depends on which state you are in. In most states judges hear the children when they are 14 and older, in some states the law actually requires them to hear those children, usually also 14 and older. But in no case the wishes of the child are controlling, the judge always can decide against...
