Dear attorney,I would like to ask You

Even a misdemeanor can show a crime of moral turpitude. The rules for immigration have been tightened and will likely get even stronger (tougher) if a republican takes the White House. In our circuit in Georgia, a successful completion of the Pretrial Diversion Program is shown as a Dismissal rather than a conviction or even a Nolo Plea. You should get a full certified copy of your Plea agreement, the FULL sentence and the remaining papers filed after you completed the PTD Program and take them...

Stealing by family members.

The difficulty seems to be that they will likely claim these items were a gift from your mother. If there is hard proof that the items were "stolen", such as a signed confession or a taped confession your case is much better. Criminal charges will probably not move forward due to the unlikeliness of this same evidence. Please also note that the statute of limitations for felony cases is generally 4 years, the civil statute could be less. Therefore you need to speak to an attorney soon....

My daughter, recently separated from jobless husband, has been living in house owned by in-laws. can she be forced to leave?

As for simple property rights, if your daughter has paid rent, and is current, generally, she is entitled to 60 days notice to vacate, IF she remains current. If rent is overdue or they were never paying rent, generally they can be served with eviction notice immediately. The Court allows about 7 days for her to answer and the court date is usually in another 7 days. In short, yes she can be forced to leave although not immediately. As for the Domestic issues, she needs to seek assistance...

Mother passed leaving me as sole beneficiary, executor, poa etc. There is a mortgage on house. how do i handle bank?

There are too many unknowns in your question, such as is the loan current, are the taxes current, is anyone else listed on the note and security deed? Have you been appointed the Administrator of her Estate by the Probate Court? Does she have funds to pay the loan while her estate is probated? Is there anyone else living in the home? Generally, a bank will not "substitute" your name (or anyone else's). Depending upon her will, number of heirs, and division of the estate a number of...

Husband tased by cop a year ago he accused my husband with assault my husband didnt touch him.

It is important to know that an "Assault" does not require that one person actually touch another. An assualt can occur when a person is placed in reasonable fear of their safety. A battery does require that a person(victim) be touched or struck by another. The statute for felonies in Georgia is generally four years. As a former prosecutor, those cases where the officers credibility is in question usually get moved to the back burner. Also remember, the statute for personal injury cases...

If someone wrecks my car, do i have to file it on my insurance if my car's not paid for?

Generally, yes you should report it, however, the facts you listed are rather thin. If she has insurance you could ask the police to issue a report and file against her policy. Depending upon your deductable (and the value of your friendship) you could either file suit in Magistrate Court using invoices showing the recovery, or better, an actual body+paint repair person, together with the days you may have to rent a car, plus lost time at work, plus filing and service fees. The repair invoices...

I agree with the above. Contact an attorney in the Augusta area to review the terms of your settlement.

Passenger in single car accident/hit tree/driver fled/passenger left scene/passenger picked up at home & charged with DUI

This is a tough area (region) to assert such defenses. There is a way to supress such evidence depending on how the police found your home, how long it took them, how you were questioned, did you freely go outside your home to answer questions, etc. Sometimes a warrant is needed to get a person to come out of their home. Your case is not hopeless. Seek the counsel of an attorney in the local area.

What is the process when someone intentionally pushes another car into another car sitting at a light?

I generally agree with these answers, the only reason to sue the "middle" car would be if they stopped too close to you, or had such poor brakes, that a normal auto could have stopped short of striking you. If you are injured, seek an attorney, if only property damages, you can sue in small claims courts, in Georgia these are called Magistrate Courts. The information provided on this website is for general information purposes only. The attorney is licensed in the State of Georgia. No...
