[NY] How do I confirm that my record is sealed after an arrest?

I was arrested for domestic violence in New York City, but the charges were dropped without prejudice before I was arraigned. I was fingerprinted and photographed, but I never went to court and never received paperwork. I understand my case should be automatically sealed under CPL §160.50. How can I confirm that my record has been sealed properly, and what steps should I take if it hasn’t been?

[NY] Can I sue for wrongful termination?

I was a worker at a national retailer for at least 3 and a half years. Until a random person walked in while I was working on the floor. I was packing out merchandise, and he started grabbing things off the shelves. He verbally and physically tried to assault me. He swung a punch, and I had to defend myself and duck his punch. I punched back and hit him, then I had to fill out a report statement. In a few days, they called me and terminated me. I was actually injured in my left shoulder and have been living in pain ever since that day. I wanted to know if I have a case and where do I go from here. Thanks.

[NY] How do I handle an unauthorized tenant in a trailer park?

I own a mobile home park in upstate New York. I had a former tenant sell her trailer without approval from the mobile home park. The purchasers were not approved to move into the mobile home park. They do not have a lease and will not be given one. I have not collected any rent or money from them yet.

[NY] My landlord removed my mother from my lease and is evicting me after I withheld rent in retaliation. How should I proceed?

My mother tried to get help for rental arrears but was denied because she wasn’t on the lease anymore. I formally complained to the landlord, asking for my mother to be put back on the lease and explaining my financial hardship. The landlord said she’d reinstate her once the first debt was paid. I paid it — but she didn’t put her back. So, I withheld rent because the landlord retaliated by trying to evict me.
