You will have to sue the dog sitter. But it is unlikely you will get your dog back. Your recovery will probably only be the value of your dog.
My tenant is planning to sue me, he got hurt when cutting down a tree on our property that we paid him to cut I was not there when tree was getting cut
Your homeowners or renters insurance should defend you and provide a lawyer for you.
My Master hearing was canceled due to COVID. What are my chances of receiving benefits such as EAD? I have been married for 4 yrs with an infant. Lived in the USA since 2008.
There are many ways you can qualify for a work permit. One way is if you are eligible for Cancellation of Removal as an application for defense from removal. If you have lived in the US for over 10 years (not more than 90 days absent during those 10 years), if you have "good moral... Read more »
Is the I-485 still pending or was it denied? You are only allowed an EAD if you have a pending I-485.
Also depends on why you were issued an NTA.
An NTA means you are inline to be considered for removal from the USA. It is suggested you at least consult with if not retain an... Read more »
And limitations if any.
A Wisconsin attorney could advise best, but your post remains open for a week. As a general matter, these can be difficult cases. Fleas are common and abundant in many places, and all sides could argue it was the other party that was the source of fleas. The cost of testing or investigation... Read more »
I have a friend who is here on a Q1 Visa. Due to the virus, she lost her job and is experiencing a hardship and cannot return home. And given the current situation, travel is not advised. I helped her file an exchange of status from Q1 to B2. Unfortunately we did this 5 weeks into an overstay... Read more »
Why not? There seems to be extreme confusion. The concept of harboring an alien, at law, is terribly misunderstood by the American public! You are allowed to support a friend in her effort to change status.
She filed late, but in doing she may have challenges that were left unexplained to... Read more »
and the sellers realtor would not respond nor give us a chance to counter offer. This was after the houses listing price was dropped by $25,000. We came to find out that the realtor bought the house for $2,000 more than our offer. Is this legal?
If it was your realtor who bought the house that would be a violation of their agency duty to you.
If it was the listing agent who bought the property, then that agent may have violated their duty to the seller by not exploring whether you would have been willing to pay more for the property.
Wisconsin is a marital property law state. Even if your name is not on the deed, the home is preemptively 50/50. There are factors that can change that, of course and discussing with an experienced family lawyer makes sense in this situation.
It has been 2 years and still not done. Do I nees to hire an attorney to help make her do this?
You need to file a contempt motion and seek that the court and force your court orders. An Attorney can certainly be helpful to make sure it is done properly and timely, but you don’t “need“ an attorney.
I met a girl online in venezuela. I'm working on getting her a B2 tourist visa to come to the US so we can meet. She's doing that in colombia. Once she is here visiting me and we develop a relationship, it is possible that I might decide to marry her. But no guarantee.

Unfortunately, while you could start the process of the fiancee visa, you cannot change her status from B-2 to K-1 (fiancee) from the USA. K-1 visas are only issued abroad. As you state, you might decide to marry her. If that occurs, consider contacting an attorney to discuss.
I was 17 years old when it happened. My sentence was 5 years prison time 5 years extended suppervision. Im 32 now and its the only blemish on my record.
It is likely, but more information is needed, but you should probably work with a competent immigration and visa attorney in case there are discretionary issues that create confusion for you. There may be more than one option.

My friend from China scammed me. He said his business is legit and he asked me to collect payments and send it to him.

Yes!
If this just happened, a Federal investigation may be pending. If you spoke to Federal Officers, then you may be subject to further action in criminal court. This will delay any action and may even result in detention and deportation.

Trying to figure out why rent just keeps going up and when will it stop
Generally a landlord has the right to raise the rent at the end of a lease term. There are some exceptions when the property is enrolled in a government subsidy program.
I'm thinking of putting an offer on a home, but the seller has notified my agent that they will need to rent back the property after closing for 30 days. Is there a standard rent-back form for this situation in Wisconsin or does it require the signing of a short term lease?
The Wisconsin Realtors Association has a standard form - Addendum O (Occupancy Agreement) . There are a number of variables on that form that affect your rights and risks. You should ask your agent to discuss that form with you. Please note that the form does not address insurance issues -... Read more »

The deed to our family cabin In Wisconsin lists my mom and her deceased brother as tenants in common. He passed away 9 years ago without a will. How do we get his name off the deed?

Can I go about getting the money transferred to me and I disburse it to my mother and I without giving it to her payee.

Then someone will also have to volunteer to serve as Personal Representative (aka Executor) of the Estate (likely one... Read more »
We both want our children, not the surviving owner, to inherit our shares. We both (my cousin and I) live in the state of WI and the property is in MI. Does the inheritence info go into our deed or each of our wills?
The answer to this question will depend on how title to the real estate is held with your cousin. If you hold it as joint tenants, then the survivor of either of you would inherit the deceased person's interest. However, I think it is more likely that you hold it as tenants in common because...
