Filing an Appeal
In need to a Pro-Bono lawyer for my son who was convicted of 3 armed robberies, given 2 strikes and serve 85% for this first time offense. my son ask to speak to a lawyer when he was first arrested, then a 2nd ime, on the 3rd time he was approached he was tricked a sign that he was sorry and this was used as a confession. His rights were violated when he first ''lawyered up''. Want to find somone to appeal or reduce his time. Thank you.
Re: Filing an Appeal
If your son can't afford to hire a lawyer, one will be appointed for him at public expense. He does not need to seek a pro bono attorney.
My husband and I divorced in 2000. He signed the deed from the house over to me, part was in lieu of child support. We remarried in 2002. The deed remained only in my name. We are divorcing again. Is he entitled to half of the proceeds of the house when it sells...Thank You over
Probably not. When he signed the deed over to you so went all his rights. Remarriage only gives him the opportunity to file for some part of equity of the house only if it is determined thathe is entitled to it.
how long does it take to settle an estate worth over 1 million dolllars in massachusetts?
Estates in Massachusetts typically will not be entirely settled for at least one year, as there is a one year window for creditors of the deceased to bring claims against the estate. Beyond that, the answer will depend on the liquidity of the estate, whether real estate needs to be marketed and sold, whether there was a solid estate plan in place, and whether there are any disputes or disagreements among family and beneficiaries.
let me rephrase mi question on 2001 I had a battery(domestic violence), no one was harmly badly or anything like that, mi ex husband was beating me and i bit his arm so he could release my hair, he called the police, i was arrested but did not serve any jail time....i was ordered to go to this domestic violance classes for a few months, the disposition was ".NOLLE PROS-COMP 'DVI"..when all this happened, i was not a resident, i was here with a L2 visa....I became a resident 5 years ago, on 2004, i'll apply for my citizenship this year, do u think i'll have any problem with this?
I don't know what the Florida disposition code is, but if you did not receive jail time and it was just probation you'll probably be OK. It doesn't matter if you were in L-2 visa status at the time instead of having a green card, a criminal conviction is still treated as one regardless. Since this happened outside the five-year period you must have of being a person of good moral character before applying, you'll probably be OK. Again, consult and go over this with a local attorney to be sure before applying for naturalization.

With a domestic violence conviction a person can be deportable. It does not matter when it happened and on what visa you were in the USA. All what matters is that it was a domestic violence battery conviction.
Before applying for naturalization, you shall consult an immigration lawyer and have a lawyer to review your arrest and court records
How did you obtain a green card: through a marriage to an ex-husband, etc?.
Thanks you for the clarification. It depends upon what the Florida Criminal Rules say. However, if you did not receive jail time and it was just probation then you will likely be OK to Naturalize. Since the incident seems to have happened outside the five-year period, you should not be found to be one who does not have "good moral character". Notwithstanding the foregoing, we recommend that you consult with an Immigration Lawyer to be sure.
