Can I counterclaim if the federal fugitive case is dismissed?

If yes, what kind of lawyer do we need, can it be contigency basis and can it be done while still in detention for the charges?Can I counterclaim if the federal fugitive case is dismissed?
generally counterclaims and crossclaims are limited to contract or tort (accident/injury) disputes. A counterclaim is what you would include in an answer to the plaintiff's complaint, which contains the wrongdoing. In a federal fugitive case I'm not sure what you'd have to counterclaim about and would merely be asked to plead guilty, not guilty or no contest to the charges. Once your case comes up your lawyer will intrsuct you on your options and it doesn't matter if you are incarcerated or not.Can I counterclaim if the federal fugitive case is dismissed?
You can sue anybody for any reason. Talk to different lawyers to find out about charges or contingency matters. Usually they won't do it unless they are going to get a lot of publicity for it or the stand to make a lot of $$$.
