that is not correct, there are statutes of limitations for civil matters as well, regulating how long after a certain incidence an action can be brought: Simplified example: in New York there is a one year limitation on defamation actions. So if someone defames you on January 1, 2002 you...

I say the same thing as the judge. You will have a very hard time proving your case. And consider this, the system does not stink. What would you do if i was to show up in court tomorrow and tell the judge that before my answer here we had a nice conversation in private and you were so...

Your question affects the laws of three countries, but your actual purpose only the laws of two countries: 1. United States: Since you both do not want to live in the US after marriage no special proceedings are needed. The foreign fiancee can enter the US on a normal tourist visa, or in this...

There might be a whole bunch of issues here: -criminal law: depending of what would actually be the basis for any complaint, if it arises from conduct 14 years ago it would most probably be barred from prosecution by the statute of limitations. Furthermore I don't see any district attorney...

The answers to your questions all depend first on where this all is happening, the state law in your state. Then on what kind of action you brought, on what grounds. And then on the details. So, to sum it up, you should have an attorney represent you.

the problem is that an expunction on a state level is not likely to help with immigration. A possible fingerprint check at the border or airport might reveal the arrest anyway, and if you are asked if you have ever been arrested and convicted you have to say the truth. And then it would be...

reckless driving is not a crime of moral turpitude, so normally, if this is your only conviction ever, it should not lead to inadmissibility. However, you always would want to avoid any criminal record or at least try to reduce the charge, so I would consult an attorney.

Looks like you are lucky. As far as I can see a class three mis in Colorado carries a maximum sentence of 6 months. So even in case your crime would be classified as a crime of moral turpitude, and it is not clear that it would be, you still would be under the exception in the law to be...

Read a couple of John Grishams, decide to become a class-action trial lawyer and earn $ 100 Million in the first week out of law school. Your whole question shows that you probably should rethink the career plan. If you want to start law for the money, you are in for a rude awakening. Unless...

You won't get an answer if you don't include the state in your question.

Well, that sounds like you should head back to court, get some injunctions against him and have him then held in contempt of court. If you had an attorney before, you probably should consult with him again. There might be some other issues, too, for which damages might be appropriate.

the K-visa both are to facilitate entry to the US, so you need to apply for them before you enter the country. Once in the country on either visa, you apply for adjustment of status to permanent legal residency. So you can go and marry in the US, but before you come here to stay, you...

you were served court papers, a summons and complaint? That would mean that you are being sued. The so called "answer" then has to be a formal answer to the complaint, which need to address the items in the complaint, even if only saying that you are not saying anything to it now, and must be...

Normally this is up to an agreement between Landlord and tenant and laid down in the lease. If it was not mentioned in the lease, it probably still is laid out in the CC&Rs which are binding on the landlord. Usually only one car per spot is allowed.

Sorry, I am not an expert on CA law and the way they handle dispositions over there. Most probably the imposition of the sentence was suspended, then you would be fne.But to be sure you should consult an immigration attorney. He also might know about the early release process. You have to...

since you all live here, American courts would have jurisdiction, so you have to find out what your state's procedures are for paternity tests and establishing paternity and child support.

From what you are saying I get that you are illegally in this country. Why should you then be able to get any governmental services? You should rather see that you obtain legal status which might be much more difficult now since you have already been breaking the law.

I assume you want to know if you should do something about this. It depends on what the attorney told the other. Some things they have to tell the other side, it is called discovery. Other things they are not allowed to share. If there is reason for you to believe that your attorney relayed...

Unless they have special laws there they cannot. Depending on the circumstances, of course, you might actually have had reason to sue the place for false imprisonment and trespass to chattel. (Yes, I know that normally you would say she was free to leave any time so it is no false imprisonment...
