Marriage and immigration adjustment of status, USCIS, is immigration marriage fraud a deportable offense

Asked by a user in Jacksonville, FL - over 3 years ago.

If both parties participated in the fraud, they could be criminally charged and fined. The illegal immigrant will most likely be deported and be stripped of any legal documentation such as a permanent residence card, work visa, etc. If the fraud is discovered prior to the initial immigration meeting on Southpoint Blvd, be prepared to endure some difficult questions at the interview, and a timely rejection letter around thirty days thereafter. There actually are immigration officers here in...

Speeding / Traffic Ticket

Asked by a user in Port Charlotte, FL - over 3 years ago.

You have a good case. No witnesses, civilian or otherwise, including the officer. Having a mechanic look at your car to see whether it was a car malfunction and having him/her issue some kind of report on the issue would help your cause as well. This report would effectively combat the officer's argument it was "driver error," i.e. careless driving. Any statements you made that would be indictative to guilt would probably be suppressed as the result of either a corpus delicti issue or an...

My ticket doesn't have any fine or court info.

Asked by a user in Melbourne, FL - over 3 years ago.

You have thirty days to request a court date. I suggest you do so. Fax your ticket and a letter requesting court date to your local court/traffic location (along with mailing same) and they will give you a court date. If you want to fight it, request a trial date, and hope the officer does not show for the trial. This happens quite frequently. If you had a passenger in the vehicle, use them as a witness if you really did not commit this infraction. Also look at the statute number cited on the...

Under FL law is it possible to appeal a no contest plea on aggravated assult charge 8 years ago

Asked by a user in Titusville, FL - almost 4 years ago.

First, you will need to see if he filed a direct appeal, and whether he filed any subsequent appeal(s) either to the Florida Supreme Court or federally. Next you will look to see whether a 3.800 motion or a 3.850 motion has been filed. A 3.800 motion, normally encompassing an illegal sentence issue, can be filed at any time. A 3.850 postconviction normally is filed within two years after the judgment and sentence have become final. However there is an exception to the 3.850 rule, and the...

Do statute of limitations exist for having illegal substances

Asked by a user in Miami, FL - almost 4 years ago.

Do you mean possession of a controlled substance, or Sale of a controlled substance? Usually crimes of this nature carry with them a 3 year statute of limitations period, with the exception of adding another year if the person is continuously absent from the state.

In FL state what is the punishment for trafficking oxycodone

Asked by a user in Florida - almost 4 years ago.

If you mean the maximum punishment for this type of offense it varies depending on the quantity involved. Numerous factors and defenses are available for this charge, making it difficult to prove, especially if there is multiple defendants. The prosecution will sometimes tag on a conspiracy count to gain more leverage (again if there is more than one defendant).

OH state criminal defense, charge or rape, procedure for self representation, pro se in OH criminal court

Asked by a user in Cincinnati, OH - over 3 years ago.

You first need to hire an attorney and have him/her consult with the prosecution as soon as possible. Catching the case before it is filed by the state attorney's office is the first and foremost way to defend yourself against any type of accusation. Also, investigate her prior history, any prior accusations by her of battery, rape, etc.etc. in the court file, she if there is a history of accusations there. Also look for reasons she would be biased towards you, owing money, prior girlfriend of...

State of texas and death penalty

Asked by a user in Saint Paul, MN - over 3 years ago.

Yes, Texas has the death penalty, but for first degree murder, and only after a jury is given specific aggravating factors to find and recommends the death penalty, and the judge follows the jury's recommendation. As to your question about "solving everything," I do not understand what it is you want me to explain.
