It is very hard to appeal these decisions. Appeals take over a year, and during that time your kid cannot attend school. We have done them, but success is hard.

I think the more important question is how long might labor unions continue to exist in the form we knew them to be?

A big part of society seems to be rebelling against laws and rules. Sort of like the "let those who ride decide" movement opposing motorcycle helmets years ago.... View More

Honestly, forget it. I think they have stopped issuing these.

It depends on the jurisdiction, but pleading guilty could affect immigration status and any judge will tell this to a defendant prior to a plea. In general, these cases are criminal if the person has a “guilty mind” meaning that they knew the license and our registration was expired; if they... View More

I am very sorry to hear your are going through this.

To answer your question, yes, you can most certainly send a letter to the judge and the district attorney. In fact, you could even call the district attorney, or the assistant district attorney assigned to the case, and ask to meet with... View More

There is nothing to indicate that you would not be able to come back. It simply could be a rule of the company with which you worked.

Not responsible for taxes. You cannot get rent unless the lease says you can collect. The whole thing is weird though, and the reason for the transfers could be an issue for income and gift taxes.

This could be a fraud, so double check. You are responsible for any tax. Withholding is a prepayment, not a tax, which you calculate when you file. If $1000 is the issue, you are probably going to have to pay it.

Your best bet is to contact the employer directly to ask.

An immigration lawyer or one who serves as counsel (possibly in house) for higher education is best suited to answer this question.

Depends, most likely yes you can assign it to an entity such as a trust or limited liability company.

Retain an attorney who handles supreme court cases and do not miss any filing or appeal deadlines.

This is a very broad question that can be answered in many ways, but broadly in New York there is legislation (the Taylor Law) that sets up a system of procedures and protections for public sector employers and employees. Under this system, employees have to serve a probationary period after they... View More

Just the fact that it is public doesn't mean it can be recorded (i.e. court proceedings in many instance are not allowed to be recorded).

In certain locales privacy laws have been implemented whereby you cannot record someone without their consent and that also would apply to... View More

Name changes are meant to be done yourself, i.e. DIY or pro se. The clerk in Civil Court in the Bronx (assuming that is where your mother lives) has the forms. It is easy.

First, are you a lawful permanent resident? Second, are you studying to become a diplomat? No, just kidding! It is a "naturalization" test. In general, if you were lawfully admitted/adjusted as a lawful permanent resident 'before' your 18th Birthday 'and' your... View More

Arguably, yes - if the files are confidential, which they usually are. But one might have various defenses, i.e., their confidentiality was lost once published, 1st Amendment rights, and other defenses. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step... View More

You can still file for benefits but it will be difficult to recover if you did not file for your weekly benefits over the past 3.5 months. The Department of Labor requires that you file for benefits every week, even when you have been denied and are trying to overturn the decision. In NY State you... View More

If you can prove you didn't receive the decision then you may still get your case heard via the Article 78 specia proceeding. Depending on how much or what rights are at stake you should consider hiring an attorney to assist you. Hey maybe even an attorney Justia considers a Level 7 attorney... View More

You need to speak to a qualified immigration law attorney. I can advise you that if you want to seek a divorce, you have grounds regardless of any adultery. As far as the implications with respect to your status in this country, please see a qualified immigration attorney or contact a local legal... View More
