Vikram Vij, an assistant district attorney in Galveston County, has sued the Commission for Lawyer Discipline (CLD). He alleges the CLD violated his rights by relying on “illegally gathered and illegally possessed evidence” in a grievance proceeding against him.
Vij alleges the grievance proceeding is based on a partial transcript from a court hearing in a criminal case, but the record in that case has been expunged. Vij also alleges the CLD failed to timely seek a delay of the expunction, and he cannot defend himself without the expunged file.
