Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Maryland

From criminal case to civil suit!

I was the defendant in a criminal case filed by a major retail chain for theft. I was convicted and incarcerated for 36 days. Now the county States Attorney is considering overturning the conviction do to facts recognized in the transcripts. He is considering filing obstruction of justice charges against the retail companies loss prevention employees for influencing testimony of the witnessess. It is now my desire to seek damages against the retail chain. Yet the statute of limitation is coming up! What do I do?

Re: From criminal case to civil suit!

Your question provides very little information upon which to make an evaluation. I strongly recommend that you make an appointment to speak with an attorney as soon as possible for a more in-depth evaluation of any possible claims you may have, and you may have some based upon the limited information provided. When you call the attorney's office, make it clear that the statute of limitations is running quickly. You may reach me at 410-437-5600 if you desire to discuss the matter further.
