The Law Offices of David P. Sheldon Successfully Negotiates Settlement for January 6th Defendant in Civil Suit

 

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” While this historic order relieved January 6th defendants of criminal liability, many continue to face civil lawsuits stemming from the events of that day.

The Law Offices of David P. Sheldon recently represented one such defendant in a high-stakes civil case seeking $10 million in damages, including claims for wrongful death.

Thanks to the diligence and skill of our legal team, several claims against our client were dismissed. The plaintiff filed a stipulation of dismissal with regard to our client, reaching a settlement for a significantly reduced amount.

At the Law Offices of David P. Sheldon, we believe that everyone deserves high-quality legal representation. If you are a defendant in a civil suit in federal or D.C. Superior Court, contact our office today to learn how we can help protect your rights.
