If it was the way you described it, it sounds as if there was a valid contract between friend B and the horse owner. They seemed to have agreed on the terms, B tendered payment, A accepted it, so most probably she is now obligated to turn over the horse. You would have to check if your state has...

First of all, t he question here is for what kind of services did your friend pay? Normally, the courts will not help at all to recover anything involving meretricious contracts, such as agreements of prostitutes to perform services. Also, contracts for illegal services are void and when the...

just to clarify this, a landlord is not subject to a statute of limitations. A statute of limitations bars prosecution after a certain time limit, so in this case only the district attorney is subject to the statute of limitations. Depending on the law and the contract, a landlord can or...

They can always press charges, but it is the district attorney who must decide if he wants to actually indict you and bring you to trial. He will rely on the results of the police investigation. If he has doubts that he can prove that you took the items, he will most probably not seek indictment...

Since so much money is involved you should consult an attorney. There are several points he needs to evaluate: first of all your contract, then if the contractor breached by delay, if, then what remedies the contract provides, and if the contractor has a quasi-contractual right for recovery for...

if he expressly represented to you that the boat was fit and you can prove that he knew that it was not, and you justifiably relied on his representation, you might have a case of either breach of express warranty or fraudulent misrepresentation. If money damages are inadequate you might even...

Normally you do not get around the 1-year separation requirement. Courts very very seldom grant any shorter period. It is possible living separate in the same house, one would have to show for example a total separation of accounts, of payments for necessities, of conducting live. Since this...

Since you already have an attorney, he should be able to advise you on that. What he probably told you is that in your specific case you qualify for the exceptions and therefore your petty theft conviction does not affect your immigration status. But this can not generally be said for all...

I understand your nervousness, but I cannot say anything in addition to what your attorney said, He knows the case much better than we here do, so you should trust his judgment.

I don't know any attorneys in CT. Since expungemnet usually does not work for immigration purposes you might want to consult an immigration attorney first to see if this conviction affects your status. If you want to have the conviction expunged anyway you might have to consult a criminal...

You have to obtain a visa to live in the United States. Your children then will get a derivative visa based on the visa you have. There are three ways to come to the U.S.: -You can enter before you marry with a "fiancee" visa, K-1. With this visa you have to marry within 90 days and then...

I am sorry to hear that things did not work out. At least, you do not need to be afraid of the American government, they will not be coming after you: -if you get divorced your grounds for application for permanent residency (green card) would be destroyed. Therefore you do not need to...

No, the expection I mentioned is the "one crime" exception: it is an exception to inadmissibility if the alien has only been convicted once for a crime of moral turpitude, that carries a maximum penalty of up to a year and he or she has been convicted to not more than 6 months in jail. A...

As far as I can see your attorney is right

Since these modifications are not based on an agreement they would be void - if you can prove that they were made after the original was signed. The fact that the contract forms show these terms were altered point towards your side, so it is possible, may be even likely, that a judge would...

well, since you already have applied, now you can only wait for the USCIS to make a decision. Drug charges are serious and can lead to denial. But not all drug offenses make an alien automatically inadmissible. The fact that the USCIS so far has not refused any of your applications points to the...

somebody should record the living conditions in that house. You might be able to call the city and have an inspector come. There also are some non-profit organziations who offer low cost or free legal help in tenant-landlord disputes. Depending on her age and the city, the city's department of...

1. Normally no 2. Yes: criminal aliens who have committed a crime of moral turpitude, which theft is, are generally inadmissible. You probably would qualify for the one exception under the law, which has been discussed here pretty often. The husband's status is not affected by the crimes of...

You have to distinguish between the simple renewal of the card and the removal of conditions that has been mentioned here before. As to both processes, nobody knows for sure how long the USCIS will take to complete it, but you can get an idea of how long it takes on the USCIS website. They list...
