Civil RICO — the private right of action under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act — remains one of the most powerful and most technically demanding tools in federal litigation. Successfully pleading and proving a RICO claim requires analytical rigor that most civil litigation never demands. That rigor is exactly what Trent Law Firm brings to every case.
At least two predicate acts within ten years that are related to each other and continuous — not isolated incidents.
A formal or informal group of individuals or entities associated in fact — distinct from the pattern of racketeering itself.
The pattern of racketeering must have directly caused injury to the plaintiff's business or property.
RICO litigation demands a level of factual development, analytical structure, and strategic anticipation that transfers directly to complex injury and institutional liability cases.
