Related Civil Litigation

Criminal allegations often prompt civil consequences or related civil proceedings that require coordinated action and attention. Where a criminal matter involves parallel proceedings such as regulatory investigations or enforcement actions, we offer strategic coordination to mitigate exposure and protect clients’ interests in multiple forums.

For clients whose rights were compromised during criminal proceedings, we pursue post-conviction remedies to address constitutional errors, procedural injustices, and newly discovered evidence.

Our practice also includes expungement proceedings and rights restoration efforts to mitigate the long-term consequences of criminal records. When private parties pursue civil damages based on alleged criminal conduct, we ensure consistent defense strategies and comprehensive protection of our clients’ rights, reputations, and futures.
