⚖️  Law

I am a student renting a one-bedroom in a three-bedroom unit in Florida. I was the first tenant and paid to have my dog, which is allowed under the lease. Another tenant moved in with her dog (a pit bull, which is not allowed) and a boyfriend who stays longer than permitted and has a criminal record for drug possession and resisting arrest. The lease states no tenant or guest may have drug-related arrests. After notifying the lease manager, no action was taken.

My mother, a U.S. citizen from California, passed away in South Korea. She was insured under my husband's health insurance but did not renew her alien registration. The insurance company is demanding $14,000 in medical bills. They stated that if I can find a choice of law in California or the U.S. that subjects me to South Korean debt laws, the South Korean judge might grant me a disclaimer of inheritance, exempting me from the bills. Can you help me find such a choice of law?

I was stopped by a police officer for driving with an invalid license and the court postponed the trial for three months. The judge gave me 5 options: 1) guilty without a license, 2) guilty with a license, 3) postpone for three months, 4) not guilty, and 5) an option I don't remember. I am a tourist with a valid license from my home country but my visa had expired. I passed the written exam for a California driver's license under AB-60 law. What should I choose when I go to court in three months with a valid California license? Should I say 'not guilty' and what happens if I do?

I went to San Mateo County traffic court to fight a false claim that I was on my cell phone while driving. The policeman changed the time on the ticket and perjured himself in court. I have phone records proving his claim is false. Can I write to the judge and copy the police department to present my evidence, and is perjury by a police officer a felony?
