Well, first of all: PA seems very unwilling to expunge disorderly conduct convictions. The law more or less does not allow it, as was recently confirmed by a PA appeals court in Commonwealth v. Whiteford, http://www.courts.state.pa.us/OpPosting/Superior/out/a12012_01.PDF Therefore your friend...

If you are interested in specific answers, such as "what is the maximum penalty for burglary" or "what is theft in the second degree" we need to know what law you are talking about, what state criminal law, or if it is about federal criminal charges. I am pretty tired of typing in every...

Yes, it always is good to have a clean record.

well Andrew, so far you have not been sued. Only once you really are being served a complaint, you will be sued. Then you also will know the exact claims that are being brought. From what I read so far, only your friend has been sued. He has insurance and they usually handle this. I doubt that...

whew, it is not easy to follow your story, even if it is only a hypothetical. :) Now, first of all, if you want to know specific law, you need to state what state this is in. I am really getting tired of typing this in every answer I give here. Every state has different laws, so without a...

where what how? You need to always state the state you are interested in, since every state has its own rules. From your name I assume it is Texas. It is also important to know the exact charges, because there are different time limitations on different charges. Most felonies have a...

you leave us here pretty clueless about what happened. But if a crime has been committed, the prosecutor has a lot of time until he has to file a complaint. The police might still be investigating, they might have a grand jury convened without you even knowing that etc. The prosecutor might have...

As you already know, this is an uphill battle. You should have an attorney on your side to handle this. I doubt you will be able to win this without professional legal help.

Since child custody questions are involved in this I would advise you strongly to consult an attorney and let him handle that.

You definitely should let an attorney handle that. It is very important that the discovery process is diligently conducted, all the assets of both partners need to be assessed and listed, that is what an attorney is there for, especially when it comes to a business and the many ways one could...

Can you explain a little more what happened? Whose checks were they. Were they real checks or forgeries? Whose account were they drawn upon? How did you get them? How much was the amount? And what state are you in?

Have a look at other threats here where I explained the process in detail. The main question is if she still is working in her job under the TN visa. Here is what you can do: -you don't need to file anything before getting married. -if she still has the job under the TN visa and the...

I am not familiar at all with the Colorado rules for this, but that would be the usual way for a first time offender, especially when that young and the stolen item is of that big value.

This is the law: 4)Shoplifting is a disorderly persons offense under subsection b. of this section if the full retail value of the merchandise is less than $200.00. Additionally, notwithstanding the term of imprisonment provided in N.J.S.2C:43-6 or 2C:43-8, any person convicted of a...

It depends on a lot of details. First of all, which state that whole incident happened in. Then the exact details of what happened, if there was any injury, weapons involved etc. Usually state criminal codes know several degrees of assault charges depending on those details. It also...

This is the Colorado criminal code provision on theft: 18-4-401. Theft. Statute text (1) A person commits theft when he knowingly obtains or exercises control over anything of value of another without authorization, or by threat or deception, and: (a) Intends to deprive the other person...

I know that dealing with elderly people can be very tricky. I wonder if the courts will be a solution for that problem. Their promise to buy you a car "as a gift for what you have done for them in the last years" is a classical example of a promise that is probably unenforceable. The law...

There are basically only two ways to get a Green Card: -through relatives -through employment including investment If you do not have any relatives the only way is through employment. There are five categories of employment visa that give a green card: -Outstanding professional (you...

The general rule is: if the marriage is valid in France, that is, if you followed all the rules and regulations there, then it is also valid here. Therefore you will have to go through formal divorce proceedings.

@ buffalo: No, there is no such rule. You would have to wait 5 years. @kapitan: You would have serious problems establishing "good moral character" which is necessary for an application for citizenship.
