    Criminal Law nned some input on something...

    Not on a prima facie case. An alien can be removed for some reasons, mostly criminal convictions, but not just for having an affair with a married man. On the other hand, what I assume you want to say is, that she is here on an immigration visa based on marriage to an American citizen (those...

    Paintball gun

    You probably have a case for conversion, that means you probably will be entitled to the value of the paintball gun at the moment that you withdrew your consent for him to use it and demanded its return.

    Criminal Law Greencard holder convicted of felony, California

    Well, it depends on the details. Any alien convicted of an aggravated felony is removable and inadmissible in the future. Any alien convicted of many firearms violations is removable as well, even if the conviction was not for an aggravated felony. Such an alien can even be put into...

    Sex Crimes, Sex Offenders Statutory Rape? Can Parents Punish??

    The law sets certain rules. Generally a person is a minor until his or her 18th birthday. So, being 17, you would be a minor. As long as a person is a minor, his or her parents (or court appointed guardians) have the right to determine certain factors of the minor's life. There are some...

    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Is this legal? Need advice fast...

    If the grand jury issued a true bill, an indictment, then in their eyes there was convincing evidence, that it was likely that a crime has been committed. Based on that indictment a judge found convincing evidence to remand her for trial and set bail. Up to this point, there is not much what...

    Medical Malpractice Lawyers advise needed

    If if if... This question cannot be answered without intimate knowledge of all the details in the case. Common sense is not the standard. The standard in a medical malpractice case is what a reasonable physician of the same specialty would have done in this case. If you can prove this doctor...

    International Issue Need Advice

    You are right, Bavarian Beer is the best in the world. Yes, being married to an American citizen gives your husband the opportunity to apply for legal permanent residency in the United States (what commonly is called a "Green Card.") You as the citizen have to petition for your husband...

    buyer wants to back out o contract

    it depends on your contract. Read what it says about termination. If you back out of it without an applicable provision in the contract you will probably be found to be in breach, which could cost you not only your earnest money but even more damages.

    Assault & Battery 1st degree assault

    What is the case worth? Nobody can say that without a very concise knowledge of the details. It depends on the circumstances, the plaintiffs, the defendants, the jurisdiction and most, of course, on the damage. A settlement then also takes into account the value of the speedy disposition of the...

    Criminal Law fingerprint

    A conviction for domestic battery or similar crimes can make you deportable and inadmissible. Therefore I would consult an immigration attorney prior to applying for anything with the INS.

    unfair eviction

    probably. Well, to get an eviction he has to get a court order. If these are the facts he can show, I don't see any judge issuing such an order. Of course, one needs to know the laws and the details of this case, but it sounds very much like bullying to me.

    Sex Crimes, Sex Offenders Statutory Rape? Can Parents Punish??

    As long as one is a minor the parents have a right to set the rules, also the rules who may interact with the minor or not. Anyone infringing on that right commits a tort and can be held responsible and be restrained from further contact. Once a minor reaches the age of maturity, which in...

    unfair eviction

    it depends on your local laws, but it sounds pretty unlikely to me that this would be grounds for eviction out of the blue. Normally a landlord would terminate the lease first, and then evict if you don't leave voluntarily. May be that is what you meant. You should try to negotiate with the...

    Former employer

    Hm, this case hinges on what a reasonable person would assume who the owner of the laptop is. Years ago, when I was a police officer, they gave me a radio. I didn't have to sign anything, I could use it as long as I was on the job, nobody ever talked about that. It cost as much as a laptop...
