    Default Can I Sue The Store After Criminal Charges Are Dismissed

    I arrested in Target for wrongly accuse and working on pretrial diversion to get me dismissed.

    After it is dismissed, can I still bring a civil law suit against Target ?

    Thanks,

    Check with a lawyer concerning a potential malicious prosecution claim.

    Thanks,

    Diversion act as guilty plea but without record! If you were falsey arrested you should fight charge then sue Target. It will be hardcer to win a false arrest claim with a guilty plea than and a not guilty verdict!

    If this diversion program involves your admitting guilt then, as panther10758 says, you would have a very difficult time with a civil lawsuit.
