In process of battling a felony theft charge. DA is prosecuting, but the person that accused and the star witness has been harasing me for over a year. I have reported most of everything that has resulting from the harassing, but want to file a protective order and file harassment charges too.. considering trying to sue for criminal intent as well as in civil court. my question is should I wait until the criminal hearing is over. would it be construded as trying to retaliate for the charging me with a crime(I can prove everything is false, but have to go thru the process to do so). or would the courts allow for an impartial and fair process if I were to proceed with the harassment charges now?

Have you discussed this with your attorney? What you do may interfere with his/her strategy so that is something that you really need to discuss.

No.
File them (if/after) you are acquitted. It makes for a much stronger claim on your part.
But check with your attorney for a second opinion.
