LOS ANGELES — The criminal wiretapping convictions of private investigator Anthony Pellicano and lawyer Terry Christensen have re-energized related civil lawsuits filed against five Los Angeles law firms, including Christensen’s former firm.
At least 15 lawsuits related to Pellicano, who was convicted last summer on charges related to illegal wiretapping, have been consolidated in Los Angeles Superior Court. Much of the litigation has been on hold pending completion of two criminal trials against Pellicano, who was sentenced on Dec. 15 to 15 years in federal prison. Christensen, who also was convicted, was sentenced last month to three years in prison.
