Re: civil claim
yes but your matter is complex and you should get an attorney. If you are located in Orange, San Diego or Imperial Counties, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.
Re: civil claim
There is no finding of guilt in a civil action, so the correct answer to your question is no.
What you probably have in mind is whether you can still be sued civilly for the same acts that already brought you a criminal conviction. The answer to that question is yes. There is no reason why the property owner's right to recover from you should vanish once you are convicted.
