Criminal cases are brought by the government against a person (or “defendant”) who has violated a law. If convicted, the defendant can be punished with fines, probation, jail, prison, or other sanctions. These cases usually begin with a police investigation and arrest before the case is transferred to the local prosecutor’s office. It is important to understand that criminal prosecutors represent the government, not victims personally. This is why the interests of prosecutors, and the interests of victims can sometimes diverge.

On the other hand, a civil case is a legal dispute between individuals or organizations. In these cases, victims of crime or negligence can seek financial compensation for their damages. In a civil case, The Kushner Firm serves as your personal advocate. We are here to personally represent your interests and fight for justice and compensation on your behalf.

Determining the value of a case is a complex process, as it depends on many factors specific to your situation. These can include the severity of your injuries, the degree of responsibility of the other party, the financial consequences you have suffered, such as lost earnings and medical expenses, and the emotional and psychological trauma you've experienced.

At The Kushner Firm, we take all these elements into account and work meticulously to calculate a fair value for your claims. Rest assured, our firm is committed to pursuing the maximum compensation possible to help you recover and rebuild.

The length of time it takes to resolve a case can vary significantly and depends on many factors such as the complexity of the case and the parties involved. The Kushner Firm’s guarantee is that we will work as efficiently as possible to ensure that you receive the maximum compensation you deserve.

Absolutely. Victims of criminal cases have the absolute right to be represented by a personal attorney during the criminal prosecution of their abuser or attacker. Victims’ rights attorneys help their clients by attending law enforcement interviews, pressing authorities for arrests and charges where appropriate, meeting with prosecutors, and providing their clients with a roadmap of the criminal justice system. As a former prosecutor specializing in violent crime, sexual crime and homicide, Joshua Kushner is ready to answer any questions you may have about criminal investigations or criminal prosecutions. He regularly provides clients with valuable guidance as they navigate the difficult road of seeking justice in criminal court.

Importantly, The Kushner Firm can serve as your victims’ rights attorney in a criminal case while also pursuing financial compensation on your behalf in the civil justice system.

Yes. Even if you did not report your experience to the police, your employer or other authorities, you can still pursue a civil claim against those responsible for your injuries. As your personal legal advocates, we will work to gather the necessary evidence to support your claim.

Absolutely. The standards for proving liability are vastly different in civil and criminal cases. In situations where the criminal justice system fails to hold bad actors accountable for their actions, The Kushner Firm is willing and ready to seek justice on your behalf.
