WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

Apart from facing criminal and civil penalties, if you’re merely suspected of or convicted of an offense, you might be forced to forfeit given assets. Per federal and state laws, government bodies are allowed to seize any property they believe was obtained through criminal activity, used to commit an offense, purchased with proceeds from the commission of an offense, or are related to the commission of a crime. Here, the government files a lawsuit against your property.

However, even though the law allows government agencies to seize people’s properties, persons facing possible asset forfeiture have rights. You could fight to keep your assets with the help of an asset forfeiture defense lawyer.
