I have a civil case in California where I was never properly served with legal documents, and I have a hearing 'Examination of Judgement Debtor' coming up. How do I defend myself in this hearing, and what can I do about the fraudulent proof of service?

I am a STEM student applying for a 24-month extension in Florida. I need a lawyer to review my I-983 and I-765 forms and answer specific questions regarding them, including whether my company address can be used as my mailing address, how to properly cite my employer's name, who should sign the documents, and how to get an automatic 180-day extension if my current OPT expires while waiting for the extension.

I have a very small LLC registered in Colorado that recently received a collection notice dating back to 2011. I don't have resources to pay it. Can they come after me or my family's personal assets? How can I protect myself from them 'piercing the corporate veil'? What is the best way to make it clear to them that the business and I are separate entities? Should I close my business, and if so, how should I proceed with the collection notices? Is there a way to get them to stop without filing bankruptcy? Would filing bankruptcy on my business help, and if so, how would it affect my personal security?

I am a Chinese citizen married to an American citizen in Arizona. Our marriage lasted from June 3, 2016, until he initiated divorce proceedings while I was in China. My green card application was self-withdrawn due to issues with my earlier school papers, and I am currently in Canada. I would like to know the legal implications of the divorce on my future green card applications, my ability to travel to the US, potential compensation I can seek, and how my husband can proceed with the divorce while I am in Canada. Additionally, I want to understand if I can sue the agency that made a mistake on my visa paperwork in 2012, which led to the 212 E requirement and ultimately affected my green card application and my marriage.

I am a landlord in Texas with an upcoming eviction case. My tenants may have abandoned the property, changed the locks without permission, and left water running, potentially causing damage. I've misplaced the lease paperwork, and I missed checking a box for a suit for rent on the eviction petition. Can I change the locks if the tenants have abandoned the property, enter the property to check for damage, and still file a suit for rent owed? How should I handle the missing paperwork in court?
