I was just wondering what happens to a person that is wrongly convicted of a crime and served jail time for it. For example a man was accused of rape or murder and sentenced to jail for like 10-50 years or so and he has been in jail for 20 years now. What happens to him once they find out that he was actually innocent and they found the real criminal. Does he get some type of reimbursement for serving time in jail for a crime he didn't commit? Thanks in advance.

My ex-roommate owes me over $600. He keeps making up excuses for why he can't pay me. He has a history of mismanaging money (one of the reasons he is my EX-roommate). I'm sick of dealing with him. How should I go about getting my money and being through with him?

My landlord collected a first, last and a 100 dollar deposit for the office I rent. About one year later, she called everyone in the building and said that the deposit would be raised to 200.00 and that each of us owed her 100 dollars added to the next months rent. No new lease agreements reflecting the new deposit amount were given to us. Is this legal?

I got picked up about a month ago on DUI charges. tomorrow is my court date. I was wondering tho, do I have to go? I am not going to contest the charges or anything like that.

My family is very controlling and always seems to know "what is best" for my seven year old son. They just come and take him away from the house while I am gone. I never know when he is coming back or anything. I live with my boyfriend and am nine weeks pregnant with our baby and this just needs to stop. They say that he is not able to watch my son while I am gone and just take him away. What can I do to end this control?

I have a friend who works at a wine bar as a server and a group of people at one table walked out without paying their bill. Her employer says she has to pay their bill. Is this legal? Is there anything she can do besides quit? Or even if she does quit is there some legal action she can persue? If you can, please provide a link to a site that would deal with these types of laws. We reside in Washington state. Thanks!
