- Q. How can my non-U.S. husband get a green card?
- A: OK, a United States citizen can sponsor her spouse for a green card if that spouse entered the United States with permission. It does not matter if the foreign spouse has overstayed his visa, but he has to prove that he entered legally. If there is no legal entry by the foreign spouse, you can still sponsor him, but he would need to file a waiver, and he would have to go back to his country for the marital interview. You should research our backgrounds and reach out to one of us to represent you through the entire process. Some of us charge a very affordable flat fee to handle a case from start to finish.
- Q. Seeking legal advice for son's death in house fire, concerns about police and fire department negligence in Florida.

- Q. Can I sue an apartment for lack of security after machete attack?
- A: An apartment owner has a legal duty to protect any person that is rightfully on the premises from criminal attacks that are foreseeable. A criminal attack would be foreseeable if the apartment building was located in an area that experienced crime of this type in the past. If so and the building owner did not have any security measures, then you most likely have a case. This would be especially true if you were visiting the property as a social guest. If you suffered serious injuries, you should retain an attorney on contingency fee here in Florida, which means you pay nothing unless you win.
