Question by Melissa P: Where can I get good free legal advice so that I can find out if I have a case worth drawing up a lawsuit?
I am looking to sue for around $ 3,500 – I just need someone to look at the literature to find out if there is a solid case. I would like to find someone around the area of Dayton, Ohio… or if someone could point me in the direction of HOW to find someone around Dayton so that I may contact them for free legal advice. This is not a worker’s comp. suit, which I find that most free legal advice is for. There are a lot of dimensions to this possible case, so I would really like to get someone that knows what they are doing. Any help?
This is possibly a civil or collections issue, for $ 3,500. Before the person that I was living with left, I had a paper signed, notorized, dated, and witnessed that the above amount would be paid to me with a check from no specifically named person, and that all termination paperwork would have to be signed, and that all of his possessions would be mine, and I would send them back at my discretion. Well he came back to get his stuff and sign the lease over to his name, but the amount of money was never paid to me. I told him that I was not interested in dealing with it anymore, and said that he did not need to pay the money… it was never a verbal contract though. I still have the paper, and this was only around 3-4 months ago. I am wondering who I need to contact, and will it be worth it to sue. I have to get a second job to pay off HIS debt, and I just don’t think that it is fair. Who should I be contacting?

most likely, you have no case, or you would already have an attorney.

Question by ibdaz1966: Will I be deported after a dui conviction? I have been a LEGAL resident for 18 years.?
I have been a permenent resident since 1990 and just recently had DUI conviction. I had to serve 10 days with work release in jail at Pinal County Jail. INS officers paid me a visit and threatened to detain me and told me I could face deportation. I have a previous drunk and disorderley conviction in 2005.What are my rights?

As a PR you have the right to appeal any deportation proceedings you are put in.

You only lose your PR status when an immigration judge declares it. As a PR you won’t be automatically deported, even if it got to the deportation proceedings point.

Question by Nancy L: What is difference deferred and with held adjudication mean?
What is the difference between a deferred adjudication or a withheld adjudication?

Best answer:

Answer by Edge
Deferred Adjudication is a plea bargain agreement between a defendant, and a Criminal Court in which formal judgment
is withheld or “deferred” pending the outcome of the probation period. If an individual is given deferred adjudication and he or
she successfully completes the probation and conditions assigned by the court, the charges are dismissed.

Withheld adjudication generally refers to a decision by a judge to put a person on probation without an adjudication of guilt. It means a person is not found guilty legally by the court. If the person successfully completes the terms of probation and has no subsequent offenses, no further action with be taken on the case and the offense for which adjudication was withheld is typically not considered a prior conviction for purposes of habitual offender sentencing.
