My 20-year-old daughter, a college student at TCU, was arrested for public intoxication and having a fake ID. She has a court date. What should she do to handle this situation and minimize the impact on her future career as an education major planning to be a teacher?

My son, a green card holder, passed his naturalization interview and was scheduled to take the oath for citizenship, but he was recently fined $500 for selling alcohol to a minor, an incident that occurred before his interview. I mistakenly answered 'No' to questions about convictions on the oath certificate. What will happen now, and can you help me in this situation?

I was discharged from the Chicago Police Dept. in 1993 due to racial discrimination. I received an award in 2009 stating I was discharged by racial discrimination, but the award did not correct issues about back pay and pension. At a mediation in 2011, I requested reinstatement and for my records to reflect retirement in good standing with full rights and benefits. My attorney recently informed me that the city's lawyers would not reinstate me but would put the award in my personal jacket, and I am entitled to pension despite drawing down money in 1994. I believe they don't want to reinstate me because it would require them to allow me to replace the money and receive my pension. What they have offered does nothing to make me whole. I need the NAACP to step in and get involved in this ongoing racial discrimination. In my opinion, this is a 'HATE CRIME' and a conspiracy to continue the original systematic racial discrimination and defy the court's ruling. What would you like to know?

I lost a small claims court case for approximately $2200. Within 35 days, a restraining order was placed on my account for double the amount. I tried to contact the creditor's attorney to arrange payment and release, but he hasn't responded. Can he place the same restraining order on any other brokerage or bank account? What should the release say to ensure he cannot collect again? Will he put a lien on my house?
